[Down to Earth]

I've seen it reported on a couple sites I frequent: Fanball, Yahoo, etc.... Will be interesting to see how this plays out. The whole T.O. situation in Philly could get ugly. A lot of issues to be worked out I think before it could happen, but if it does......WOW.

Owens joining Moss in Oakland?

The News

The Raiders' busy offseason may not be over yet. Philadelphia television station WPVI is reporting that there is a trade in the works that would send disgruntled wideout Terrell Owens, who had 1,200 yards and 14 touchdowns for the Eagles last season, to Oakland in exchange for receiver Jerry Porter. Porter caught 64 balls for 998 yards and nine touchdowns in 2004.

Our View

While this deal may look lopsided at first glance, it is important to remember that Porter is five years younger than Owens and hasn't been a major pain in butt this entire offseason. The Eagles are not an organization that tolerates a lot of insubordination from its players, so the prospect of getting a young, talented receiver and a high draft pick might be enough to convince them to ship Owens to California. This trade is nothing more than a rumor right now, but we'll keep you updated of any developments and provide fantasy analysis if the deal actually goes through.

I hope its true. It would be fantastic to watch moss and owens fight it out. Who is going to throw them the ball? Two peas in a pod.

I don't think there is enough room for all that ego in one city.

THE NEWS

A high-ranking Eagles official reportedly "laughed off" the recent rumors about a trade with the Raiders involving Terrell Owens and Jerry Porter. "It won't happen," the official told Phillyburbs.com.

OUR VIEW

An ABC affiliate in Philadelphia picked up on this rumor Thursday, and word has been spreading around internet messageboards. This is the only substantial comment we've seen from either the Eagles or Raiders, and we'll continue to be on the lookout for more. For now, we're treating this as nothing more than a loose, unsubstantiated rumor.
