Re: Eagles teammates want Owens back!?!?
 

Actually a few other Eagles have been quoted as wanting him back. Just goes to show you how many cowards there are on that team. As Doc Walker said "Where were these guys when he 1st was suspended, nobody spoke then" I guess we can safely assume that is why Philly will see only one silver trophy in their trophy case. THE STANLEY CUP.

While it's a bit of aside I'd like point out that TO was not always the monster he is today. According to Vinnie, who was in SF when TO was drafted, he was much more studious and relaxed, not as 'in your face' as he is today. We all know Rosenhaus also manages our 'problem child', Lavar Arrington, and he didn't start really 'airing his dirty laundry' to the media until he became a Rosenhaus client. I'd be curious to know how much of this is Drew telling TO or LA this is how you up your market value and how much is the player copping a tude.

Well LongtimesSkinsFan apparently you have not paid much attention to the Lavar situation. If you did you would know that the Brothers Postons are the one leading LAvar into the conference room. In fact Drew has a good reputation with the Skins as they have cut huge deals with Moss and Portis and have bellied up to Drew.

That find.... we forgive presidents for more mess than T.O has caused

Re: Eagles teammates want Owens back!?!?
 

the president doesn't work for reid or the eagles FO last i checked.

I think it WOULD be funny if every time TO didn't get the ball he went over and bitched at his MLB about it ;) I wonder how long that'd last.

My bad. I thought Arrington was being handled by Rosenhaus. I still would like to question the source of motivation for Owens' behavior though. What I was getting at was that...

1. Owens goes to Philly and gets a new contract that he's agreeable with.
2. Owens fires agent and hires Rosenhaus as new agent.
3. Owens wants to renegotiate a new contract after 1 year under current contract.

Would I be correct in assuming that his former agent collected comission on the contract he negotiated and that Rosenhaus would not collect any money managing Owens unless he negotiated a new contract where he would collect the comissions? Would much of the motivation for a new be somewhat based on the fact that Rosenhaus won't make any money from handling Owens' affairs unless his current contract is voided and he negotiates a new one for him?

yeah, he gets 10% or something, so that's been the running theory.
