What to do with T.O.
So again T.O. is not with his Eagles teammates and he left Lehigh in a hissy fit because the team talked about his lack of attendence at autograph sessions. Now I've defended T.O. because I realized how important he is to this team, but as an Eagle fan it has gotten to the point where he is not even worth it anymore. He has a sleazy low-life whispering into his ear, he is a head case and he only cares about himself. His talent always made up for his problems, but it has gotten to the point where it's not worth it anymore. He is over 30 and is constantly causing problems to the point where mild mannered Andy Reid threw him out of a meeting. So basically the Eagles have an important decision to make. I've decided to break down the choices the Eagles have what they should do.
A. Give him what he wants-Not an option. Giving in to his whining will not only be bad for the Eagles because it goes against their philosophy, but it also would be bad for the NFL. Teams have to take a stand against Rosenhaus and players who just signed contracts or haven't earned a better contract from holding out. If you have a problem with the current system get a better union.
B. Release him-I don't like this option because we are just giving away one of the best receivers in the league, so that gives way to the next option...
C. Trade him-This is becoming more and more the popular option for Philadelphia. If we did I'd guess he'd either be traded to Oakland or Atlanta. We are in pretty bad shape at wide receiver and I think we should also look into getting Koren Robinson too. I mean Jerry Porter, Robinson, Greg Lewis/Reggie Brown may not be TO, but still looks pretty good.
D. Keep Him-If he is on the field he won't dog it so if he decides to play under this contract we will have one of the better receivers in the league. If he decides not to play then we get our money back including some of his signing bonus.
At this point if we do keep him we are pretty thin at receiver, but I'd like to prove a point that complaining won't get what you want. So basically for the NFL keep him, but for the success of the team trade him.
