All their problems with Owens stemmed from the fact that they wanted to continue paying him $2.3M per season (when he's actually worth between 8 to 10 million), and they would not give him the $7.5M/year he was asking for. You're right, once they decided that they weren't going to pay him the money, the smart thing to do would have been to trade him. However as I said earlier, they're pretty dumb, and they deactivated him for the rest of the season, and he won his release in an arbitration hearing that off-season. Owens winning his release not only meant that the Eagles didn't get anything for him (besides not having to pay him the rest of his guaranteed money), but it also meant that Owens was free to sign with whomever he wanted; including division rival, Dallas.

But how come the Eagles just waive Terrell Owens? Especially after he lead the Eagles into the Superbowl. Couldn’t they get something for him? How come they couldn’t tade him? I know he was being an ass and everything but so was Ron Artest in the NBA. And at least the Pacers got Peja for him. Why does the NFL just waive? Sorry, I don’t watch the NFL much.
