PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia Eagles thought they had Terrell Owens for themselves.

According to phillyBurbs.com, the Web site for a chain of three suburban Philadelphia newspapers, the Eagles agreed to a deal in principle to acquire the superstar receiver Thursday, only to have the 49ers turn the tables by sealing a deal with the Ravens instead.

Owens and agent David Joseph were furious, according to the Web site, which serves the Calkins Newspapers chain. Joseph told league officials Thursday night he plans to file a grievance against the 49ers, and union chief Gene Upshaw is reportedly already involved in the process.

Quote from the article
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"One of the sources told the Web site the Eagles' offer included a signing bonus over $10 million and an average salary of over $6 million per year."

This is nothing less than criminal.

First T.O. loses out on free agency, and a possible $15 - $20 million signing bonus. Now the 9'ers screw him out of a negotiated $10 million signing bonus.

:smh:

If the Ravens play the 49ers this year, the show Latrell Sprewell put on Laydens arse when he returned to tha Garden will be nothing compared to T.O's return to San Fran. He's probably thinking up new endzone shat just for them.:lmao:
