I've seen him play well in SF, while not getting along with Garcia. The eagles will end up getting rid of him next season.

He's in the second year of a multi-year deal - traditionally, the lowest paid year.
Last year, he received $10 million in bonuses.
This year, he is scheduled to receive $3.25 million in base salary, and $250,000 in incentive bonus (generally thought to be easily achievable).
Next April, he is scheduled to receive an additional $7.5 million in bonus money.
If he were to play three years for the Philadelphia Eagles, his income for that period would exceed $21 million. Only two players (Marvin Harrison and Randy Moss) have contracts that exceed that compensation.
The claim that Terrell Owens is underpaid is posturing by his agent.
