Updating ongoing reports, Baltimore Ravens WR Terrell Owens isn't happy with his former team, the San Francisco 49ers. He's made it clear that the Philadelphia Eagles were his first choice and the 49ers ended up trading him to Baltimore instead. Owens wasn't sure if he'd report to the Ravens, as his representatives are pursuing this matter further with the NFL. "At this point, I can't say what I'm going to do," Owens said during an interview with ESPN. ESPN also reports the Ravens would entertain thoughts of trading Owens – but it would have to be for more than the second-round choice they gave up for him.

Wow, how often does that happen? Trading for a player, then turning around and trading him again. They'd have to get more than what they traded for him and I dunno if the Eagles can match that offer.

Maybe Thrash and a 2nd or 3rd rounder? Pretty bad offer, but still if he doesn't want to play for you, you might as well get something for him.

I agree. I would say thrash and a 2nd rounder.

I think thrash is absolute garbage, If I were the Ravens I would be demanding a 2nd or 3rd rounder and freddie mitchell or potentially Correll Buckhalter with this Jamal Lewis Business.

screw it.......play hardball.......1st rounder or shut up........errr how about just shut up already,,,,,,,sick of his shhhhhhhhhh

[TheHeat24]

I feel you man, I cant stand his whining like a lil b****, if he hired a better agent in the first place none of this would have happened, and what makes him think that he is bigger than the league and complain about the way he is traded...

Anything less than a first rounder would be not acceptable. Besides if it will be late first round if the trade happens with Eagles. Ideally Baltimore should get a first rounder and a second rounder.

I say really play hardball and call his bluff. He and his agent were too stupid to get his paperwork in order, so he now has a contract with the Ravens for 3(?) years. There is no way that TO is going to sit for 3 years. That would be career suicide, he may as well just retire. I'd tell him when to come to camp and explian to he and his agent about the policy regarding fines for missing camp/games. Then tell him TO stands for Two Options-come to camp or pay the price.
