Not getting out of his contract was stupid.
But remember: Teams tend to court trade bait. They don't go behind their backs. Newsome KNEW Owens is a loose cannon, yet he went behind his back and traded him without talking to him first, OR his agent. He just talked to the 'Niners. It was not the way you're supposed to do things.
Remember, Portis, Bailey, Brunell etc. all had contracts signed before they were even traded. When you do something all clanedstine like Newsome did, *I* would be pissed, too! You take the player out of the equation and treat him like a piece of property, and when you're a guy like Owens, how are you supposed to take that? I'm sorry, I don't think Owens is a stand-up guy by ANY means. But I know that he had every right to be mad at the Ravens for what they did.
