how can you say he doesn't deserve this? he made his bed and now he has to sleep in it. he's spent the last two years trashing his teammates, coaches, and franchise. It's not the 49ers fault that he and his agent dropped the ball on voiding the rest of his contract and make him a free agent so he could get his money. The eagles could have gotten him if they really wanted him but they wouldn't offer anything more than thrash and a 5th round pick for one of the top 5 WRs in the league. Baltimore offered the better deal of a 2nd round pick and the trade was made legally. on the local sports show called Sportsnite, it was reported that after the trade the Ravens were going to try and give Owens an extention but I don't know if I'd do that after all TO has said about not wanting to play for Baltimore and that he wanted the money from the Eagles. I think its about time one of these pre-madonas got what was coming to them for all of the trouble they've created needlessly.
