*song alert* Here’s the mail it never fails it makes me wanna wag my tail….
Here’s a little nugget from Travis: “I don’t watch football much. But how come the Eagles just waive Terrell Owens? Especially after he lead the Eagles into the Superbowl. Couldn’t they get something for him? How come they couldn’t tade him? I know he was being an ass and everything but so was Ron Artest in the NBA. And at least the Pacers got Peja for him. Why does the NFL just waive? Sorry, I don’t watch the NFL much.”
Travis, aside from the obvious time matter here I did a little digging and (although I will leave it to the Dallas correspondant to correct me) I found that there was an issue of a five million dollar roster bonus that they would have had to pay Owens if he was not traded of released by a certain date. Owens made himself nearly untradable by making it known he wanted to be a Cowboy. Teams like Denver and KC looked at T.O but no one pulled the trigger. Thus they released him before the roster bonus.
That’s all I got this time around. If you have any questions, leave a comment or email me at Detroit@drafttek.com.
Finally, we’re looking for website Ideas…if you have any ideas how Draftttek could improve let us know by leaving a comment!
