Owens almost an Eagle
(Philadelphia, PA) Though we doubted Andy Reid and company for going after a defensive lineman rather than a wideout, turns out we got egg on our face. The Eagles were courting Terrel Ownes afterall, even with James Thrash being included in the trade, but the 49ers pulled a quick one and threw TO to the Ravens. Terrel Owens and his agent are upset and filing a grievance with the NFL. Seems to me if TO's agent would have filed the papers on time this wouldn't have happend. Said Owens, "We were a matter of minutes away from getting something done and that's when the 49ers and (GM Terry) Donahue got wind of that and sent me to Baltimore."

Patrick Sweet says, "Here's what I don't get.
TO didn't file the FA paperwork, so he was still under contract to the 9ers. What makes him think he's got the right to tell them where they send him?
If I'm an athlete under contract with a team. I understand that the team can trade me to anyone at any time. Unless I'm a wuss and have a 'no trade' clause.
