hokie4redskins Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Sounds good to me. SIAP, I checked. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/scorecard/04/07/truth.rumors.nfl/index.html NFL Truth & Rumors: April 7, 2005 Posted: Thursday April 7, 2005 11:04AM; Updated: Thursday April 7, 2005 12:07PM MORE TRUTH & RUMORS: NBA | MLB | NHL/Soccer Brian Westbrook is just one of many unhappy Philadelphia Eagles. Andy Lyons/Getty Images One year after signing a seven-year contract worth just over $46 million, Terrell Owens wants to rework his deal, Owens' new agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said after meeting with Eagles president Joe Banner. It is unlikely the Eagles will be willing to accommodate him. In Banner's 11 years as team president, he has never renegotiated a player's contract after one season. Rosenhaus did not rule out that Owens could miss some or all of the Eagles' off-season workouts or minicamps, and possibly training camp should a new deal not get done. "It's not really something I can make any predictions on," Rosenhaus said. -- Philadelphia Inquirer This is just the latest offseason twist for the Eagles, who could be experiencing some of the fallout that in the past has kept teams from repeating Super Bowl runs. Eagles offensive tackle Tra Thomas wants a new deal, too, Earlier this week, unhappy franchised defensive tackle Corey Simon vetoed a proposed trade with the Ravens because he couldn't agree with the Ravens on a long-term contract. Simon left little doubt that he does not like the 1-year, $5.13 million franchise tender, which he has not signed. Running back Brian Westbrook, who also wants a long-term deal with the Eagles, hasn't signed his 1-year restricted free agent tender. Defensive tackle Hollis Thomas is unhappy that the Birds won't revisit his contract, and has asked to be traded. The Eagles are expected to trade or release wide receiver Freddie Mitchell, who was unhappy with his role last season. -- Philadelphia Daily News Receiver Keyshawn Johnson laughed at a report that had the Cowboys potentially drafting Southern California receiver Mike Williams because Johnson was disgruntled about his contract. Johnson said he plans to honor his deal. -- Fort Worth Star-Telegram Bears free-agent RB Anthony Thomas worked out for the Bucs. -- Tampa Tribune Marcus Stroud has been a no-show at the Jaguars' voluntary offseason conditioning program and remains far apart in talks with the team on a long-term contract extension. Stroud, who has made the Pro Bowl each of the past two years, has said he wants to be the highest-paid defensive tackle in the NFL and reportedly is seeking a signing bonus of between $15 million and $20 million. -- Jacksonville Times-Union The Jaguars fortified themselves against a possible Stroud holdout by signing veteran defensive tackle Tony Williams to a two-year deal that included a $500,000 signing bonus. -- Florida Times-Union Redskins Coach Joe Gibbs expressed frustration over the absence of Santana Moss and Sean Taylor from voluntary offseason workouts. Gibbs said he believed that Moss's absence was related to his desire for a new contract. Gibbs confirmed last week that team officials had held discussions with Taylor to hear his contract concerns, but at this point the Redskins do not appear inclined to greatly alter that deal. -- Washington Post The Redskins signed linebacker Brian Allen, who had been with Carolina, to bolster their special teams. -- Washington Post The Titans have recently expressed more than just a passing interest in re-signing cornerback Andre Dyson. -- Nashville Tenneseean Brian Williams, the unrestricted Vikings cornerback who hasn't signed a contract yet, will bring the Vikings a first-round draft choice if another team signs him. Because the Vikings offered William $1.4 million this season, the team that signs him would have to give up a top draft choice. -- Minneapolis Star Tribune Defensive back Michael Hawthorne, a free agent who has played with Green Bay the past two seasons, has agreed to terms on a one-year deal with the Rams. -- St. Louis Post-Disptach The Dolphins met with free-agent wide receiver Charles Lee earlier this week but a signing is unlikely before the draft April 23. A source said the Dolphins might be waiting before adding another receiver to their roster because the team is strongly considering selecting Michigan's Braylon Edwards with the No. 2 pick. -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Utah quarterback Alex Smith, who Dolphins coach Nick Saban personally watched during Smith's workout last month in Salt Lake City, is scheduled to meet with the Dolphins for two days next week. -- Miami Herald Smith will work out for the Bucs in Salt Lake City on Friday. Smith, who could be available when Tampa Bay selects fifth overall in the draft, worked out for the 49ers on Monday and was scheduled to visit the Lions on Wednesday. -- St. Petersburg Times Contrary to the Wednesday rumors, it is tight end Alex Smith of Stanford -- not quarterback Alex Smith from Utah -- who is expected to meet with the Lions this week. -- Detroit Free Press University of Texas RB Cedric Benson, rated among the top three backs in this year's draft, visited the Bucs. -- Tampa Tribune This does not appear to be a strong draft for safeties. -- Dallas Morning News Mike Tice can expect to be fined by the NFL for reselling his Super Bowl tickets for a profit but the Vikings coach apparently will escape without a suspension. Commissioner Paul Tagliabue did not make it clear when he would issue a ruling or who else might be fined. -- Minneapolis Star Tribune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLongshot Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 All I want to ask those Eagles players is, do you want to win a Super Bowl? If so, then shut the hell up. It is stuff like this that causes teams to not go to Super Bowls. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCS Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Okay. If memory serves, I believe a few of our resident Eagles fans questioned the validity of the speculation on Owens hiring a new agent meaning he wanted to rework his deal. Even the report itself was questioned I believe. Ok. So. He is. This should really get good now. I mean, besides posturing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westbrook36 Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 TO loves Philly. By the first game, this will be a non-issue so why is everyone getting so excited now? Just like Moss and Taylor. Are we so starved for news that we make these things huge stories? Both tidbits of news make me yawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far he talks like a duck. If he walks and quacks like a duck - I'm gonna be pissed. I'm very frustrated - we are looking for true Redskins....but let Pierce and Smoot go....and we sign Moss.....OK - I'm fine w/ that...if we found real teamplayers.....and he doesn't show up for practice? Nice start mini-Moss. WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
