Yeah TO is up to his shit again, I guess one week of being quite led to this today. Westbrook is fine, he will be playing for a contract next year if anything else.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Terrell Owens exchanged words with head coach Andy Reid at a team meeting Wednesday and was asked to leave, according to news reports.

Wide Receiver

77 1200 14 15.6 59 404

Owens then got his belongings and cleared out of Eagles training camp at Lehigh University, according to two television reports.

Earlier Wednesday, he had missed practice for the fifth time in six days because of a left groin injury.

Owens worked out with the team's assistant trainer for about 20 minutes on a separate playing field from his teammates, catching balls from a machine and doing some light running. He did not speak to reporters or acknowledge the fans who chanted his name.

The All-Pro receiver sat out practices last Friday and Saturday. He returned Sunday for both the morning and afternoon sessions, but hasn't practiced since.

Owens is unhappy the Eagles have refused to redo his contract as he enters the second season of a seven-year, $48.97 million deal.

Last season, Owens had 77 receptions for 1,200 yards and a franchise-record 14 touchdowns receptions before severely injuring his ankle late in the season. He missed the final two regular-season games and the first two playoff games before returning for the Super Bowl, in which he had nine receptions for 122 yards.

Yeah this doesn't sound good, I haven't put on Philly Comcast Sportsnet yet but I believe they will be talking about this all day today. I hope things get worked out but if they dont, I think the Eagles will still be in the hunt and thats all I ask for as a fan is my team being competitive. The NFC is weak shouldn't be a problem with or without TO, they got to the SB last year without him anyway.

Everyone also saying Pinkston being out will kill the Eagles, lol. Pinky didnt do that much last year or any year for him to be a factor with him being out. I was hoping they would replace him last year with McMillen or Lewis. Looks like it will happen by default

i agree pinkston being out is ok, he is replaceable, but if both he and owens are out and mcmullen and lewis are no 1 and 2, thats pretty bad
