Add Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Terrell Owens to the burgeoning list of NFL stars who have retained agent Drew Rosenhaus to do their bidding.
And make him the latest veteran who, apparently, hopes that his new representation will upgrade a contract that already ranks among the league's most lucrative.
League sources on Tuesday confirmed that Owens has hired Rosenhaus, after being represented by Robert David Joseph for the first nine years of his career. Rosenhaus plans to meet with Eagles officials, perhaps as early as Wednesday, to discuss the contract of his newest client, the sources added.
Owens is only one season into the seven-year, $48.97 million contract he signed with the Eagles last March after being acquired from the San Francisco 49ers. The three-team trade occurred after an arbitrator voided a deal that would have sent Owens to the Baltimore Ravens. The contract included a $10.3 million signing bonus. Owens is to earn a base salary of $3.25 million for 2005.
Wow one year in the deal and he thinks he is underpaid already?
