He was fined $24,000 for not showing without medical or coaches pardons. Also if T.O. does not show up for either a mandatory camp June 1st or training camp I forget which one, he is getting fined $1.7 million hopefully that motivates him to play.

They definitely have the right to fine him, but I don't think they've done so yet.

As bad as the situation appears, management fining TO would probably make matters worse.

Honestly, I can't believe how TO has killed his market value again. His market value sucked before last season because nobody wanted the headache. He went a whole year as very nearly a model citizen, culminating in an amazing recovery to play in the Super Bowl.

Now, in the matter of a couple months, he's pissed off one of the most well respected younger quarterbacks in the league, pissed off the Eagles management, fired his agent who was up until then supposedly one of his closest friends, and showed the entire league that even being an ideal offense for him on a Super Bowl team wasn't enough to keep him happy.

If he went on the open market right now, I'm not sure he'd get any better of a deal than he has now. What team wants the headache?

TO has overplayed his hand. Certainly don't know the terms of his contract, but the Eagles should extract whatever fines and recovery of signing bonus out of him and then cut him.

The Eagles made it to the Super Bowl without him, and he has so alienated everybody, let him go. He is not worth the headache.

I hope the eagles sit back on there [inappropriate/removed] and do nothing to try and get t.o. back on the field. if he wants to not fulfill his contract, then that is his own fault. i love t.o., but if he doesnt want to play, well thats fine with me. put in one of the young guys who wants to play.

the eagles fron office is wise to keep any fining they are doing out of the media. the less TO feels like they are out to get him the less liekly he will get defensive. we don't want him to dig in his heels or everyone will [inappropriate/removed], prisoner's dilemma style.
ideally we can agree to a minor resturcturing which lets him save face. if he can't save face everyone loses. at this point its a pissing contest.
problem for the front office is that if they appear to cave then other guys will try to renegotiate.
that's why the renegotiation has to be value neutral to the eagles.

as for getting to the SB without him. Sure we did, but are you really comapring the Packers and VIkings with the Pats. We will be hard pressed to come close with them unless TO shows up to play in the SB again next year. We don't need him to get there, but it sure would be nice.

Andy Reid should fine him. T.O. is a great football player but a terrible teammate. He is a cancer. McNabb didn't need T.O. to beat the best teams in the NFC. I say we give him the Mitch Williams treatment... then kick his @ss outta Philly.
