| 25th August, 2005 - 12:37 pm |  PhillyBurbs.com - The Houston Chronicle posted an audio report on its Web site yesterday suggesting the existence of a secret pact between the Eagles and Terrell Owens in which the Eagles agreed to release Owens from his seven-year contract after this season as long as Owens promised to behave this year.
There was no comment from the Eagles, although if you go back to Joe Banner's statement about Owens in Pittsburgh before the Eagles-Steelers game it is possible.
That night, discussing Owens' return from his seven-day leave of absence, Banner said, "I know T.O. wants to play here and I know he wants a Super Bowl ring. Hopefully he can put the emotions he has behind him and the difference of opinion we have and contribute to that for a year."
The odd thing about this supposed agreement is that the thing that initially infuriated Owens is that he feared the Eagles would release him after the 2005 season to insure that he wouldn't receive $7.5 million in bonus money he's due if he's with the team in 2006. [READ] |
