Reid Not Backing Down To Owens
10th June, 2005 - 9:50 pm
Philadelphia Inquirer - Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid is standing firm on his position not to negotiate with always-disgruntled wide receiver Terrell Owens regarding a new contract.

"It's pretty simple," Reid said. "Either [Owens] is going to show up or he is not going to show up. He is going to play or he is not going to play. I said this before: Would we like to have T.O.? Sure. Can we plug someone else in there and still win Super Bowls? Yeah, absolutely."

The mood around the Eagles camp is positive with many players believing they will be fine without Owens should he holdout.

"Of course I think with T.O. here we're a better offense," running back Brian Westbrook said. "But I also feel without him here, we feel like we're good enough to get things done. We feel like we've done it without T.O. before."

Owens, apparently, is still unclear as to the definition of the term ?contract.? [READ]
