According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Eagles will not renegotiate the contract of wide receiver Terrell Owens, who led Philadelphia to the best record in the NFC in his first year with the Eagles.

Philadelphia owner Jeffrey Lurie was quoted, "It's a non-issue. There are a lot of things I spend time thinking about, but that's not one of them." Lurie also criticized T.O.'s new agent for giving him "self-destructive advice."

The Pro Bowl player signed a 7 year, $49 million deal last year. Owens hired agent Drew Rosenhaus after firing longtime representative David Joseph earlier this offseason. The receiver refused to participate in the Eagles' mandatory minicamp in late April. The holdout could last into training camp.

Lurie went on to add, "Every player is both fragile and talented. Unfortunately, we're seeing around the league certain agents who take advantage of the fragility of the players, and are less worried about their continued success and stability than acting self-destructively. It's too bad."
