T.O. is an Eagle

Wide receiver Terrell Owens got his wish and became a Philadephia Eagle. Before an arbitrator issued his ruling the Eagles, San Francisco 49ers, and Baltimore Ravens agreed on a swapping of players and draft picks to settle the dispute.

Now, the Eagles have a superstar at that position. It wouldn't have taken much or have been as costly to upgrade their receivers from James Thrash and Todd Pinkston. On paper, the Eagles should be the favorite in the NFC, but with all the improvements in Washington as well as another year for Bill Parcells in Dallas their path won't be easy.

This deal doesn't make much sense to me, since the NFL's case was very strong. The 49ers and Ravens had both played by the rules and were in no way responsible for the screw up that lead to T.O.'s loss of FA status and his trade.

I'm even more surprised that a hardass like Billick caved in to T.O's pissing and moaning. It isn't like Owens is known as a slacker, so even if he's not happy, it's reasonable to expect that he'd have practiced and played just as hard as he's already respected for around the league.

What did the Ravens have to lose in holding on to T.O. or in letting the arbitrator rule? Seems like they gave up needlessly and lost a lot more than they'll gain by caving in.

Pete:

How many times do we have to lose in the NFC Championship game before our organization makes some moves to bring this city a title. I love the Eagles, but they are going to be the death of me. Aside from possibly the Phillies, the Eagles are our best shot of winning a championship.
