Andy Reid released the following statement when updating the media on the status of WR Terrell Owens:
Terrell Owens has been suspended by the team for four games for conduct detrimental to the team. He will not return to play for the team even after the conclusion of that suspension. The league has been notified by the player’s union that they will be grieving a right to take that action. Therefore, there is nothing more I can say at this point.
This situation is similar to Keyshawn Johnson’s suspension with Tampa Bay two seasons ago. That ultimately resulted in a trade for KJ to Dallas, where he was reunited HC Bill Parcells. Something similar will probably happen here during the offseason. I would love to be a fly on the wall in war rooms across the league as personnel executives discuss the possibility of trading for Owens. He’s a phenomenal talent, but seems to wear out his welcome wherever he goes.
