Due to a matter pertaining to owed bonus money, Terrell Owens, former wide receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles, is being sued by his ex-team, said official sources on Monday. Owens, or more fondly known by his initials T.O., is notably one of the most daring and talented NFL players who always made his opinions heard. However, neither he nor his agent Drew Rosenhaus, can be reached for comments about this disturbing issue.

The Philadelphia Eagles and their lawyer filed the $770,000 suit in US District Court. Previously, Owens lost in arbitration during the first quarter of 2008, and now he is being instructed to repay approximately $1.7 million in bonuses that was given to him throughout the years 2004 and 2005 before he joined the Dallas Cowboys. Halfway through 2005, he was suspended due to detrimental conduct. It does not matter that he led the Eagles to numerous victory and got them into the Super Bowl. He was denied a grand total of $965,000 in salary after the unfortunate suspension.

The 2008 NFL season schedule was released last week and the Seattle Seahawks will be beginning and ending the season on road games. The Seahawks will be opening their 2008 campaign on Sept 7^th at Buffalo Mills and will end the season on December 28 at Arizona. This is the fourth time in the last five years that Seattle has been allotted an away game and the kick off their campaign at home against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 2. 

The St. Louis Ram is slated to play in Seattle on Sept 21. The other home games for the Seattle Seahawks include Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Oct 19, Green Bay Packers on Oct 12, Philadelphia eagles on Nov 2, the Cardinals on Nov 16, Washington Redskins on Nov 23, New England Patriots on Dec 7 and N.Y Jets on Dec 21. The best thing about this schedule for the Seahawks is that the away games will be followed by home games.

NFL teams are scrambling all over their feet trying to get their hands on Leodis McKelvin, the 5 foot 11, 190-pound cornerback. He is considered to be easily one of the best talents in the ongoing NHL draft, and renowned teams like New England, Baltimore, Dallas, the New York Jets and Tennessee.

The 22 year old cornerback from Troy University is a strapping young man with superior athletic skills. He is blessed with supple muscles, quick movements, and the great ability to confuse opponents with his quick change of direction. This was what attracted scouts from major teams, and they are praising the way he played against teams from better known schools such as Florida, Arkansas, Georgia and Oklahoma State. His fortes are returning punts and kicks and to date has managed to chalk up a career total of 211. Most interestingly, both DeMarcus Ware from Dallas and Osi Umenyiora from the Giants were originally students from Troy University. McKelvin follow in their footsteps in the near future?

The Washington Redskins coach Jim Zorn has said that there is a terrific challenge that is lying ahead for the Washington boys at the start of the 2008 season. Zorn said that he and his team are looking forward to the new season. He said that the team is waiting to meet arch rivals and one of the best NFL teams New York Giants, who are their opening opponents, on September 4^th at the Giants stadium. Three of their first five games are against East divisional rivals and irony is that all these three games are away games for the Redskins.    

The Redskins play their first home game in week 2 of the 2008 season against New Orleans Saints at the FedEx Field and Zorn is expecting that the fans will be there in large numbers to support the team. Another important date in Zorn’s calendar will be the week 12 road game against the Seattle Seahawks, Zorn’s former team.        

Suspended Tennessee Titans cornerback, Adam Jones or more popularly known as the Pacman, will again attempt to beseech NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to reinstate him. His agent has plans to officially ask the NFL commissioner as soon as Tuesday.

Pacman, who was thus known due to his voracious fried chicken eating habits since he was a young kid, is deliriously hoping to be reinstated before the NFL draft happens this April 26 – 27. His agent, Manny Arora is also hopeful that he would b reinstated and work out for potential teams and ultimately regain his job as a cornerback.

Earlier on, Pacman was suspended on April 10 2007 due to his off-field conduct, and to date he has been arrested six times since he was drafted. In late February, the NFL wrote him a letter forbidding him to train at the Titan’s facility but the Titans were gracious enough to negotiate to other teams about a trade. Most recently the Dallas Cowboys were the latest team to be interested in acquiring him but to date nothing has been made official.

Apparently the Cleveland Browns are suffering from a major jinx when Jurevicius becomes the sixth player in six years to contract a cumbersome staph infection after undergoing a knee surgery.

BestNFLblog.com got to know that Jurevicius was afflicted with the infection earlier on Friday but he is reported to be hospitalized and recuperating well without any known complications. After the seemingly risk-free knee operation recently, he acquired the infection but is now recovering well in the Cleveland Clinic. Still, fans should not be alarmed because Jurevicius is expected to participate in off-season team activities in May and the minicamp in the coming June.

To date, other Cleveland Browns players who contracted the very same sort of infection were center LeCharles Bentley, tight end Kellen Winslow, receiver Braylon Edwards, and former Browns safety Brian Russell and linebacker Ben Taylor.

In related news, Jurevicius is expected to stay with the Cleveland Browns for at least another season. The 33-year-old player has two years left on the lucrative four-year deal he signed previously in 2006.

Retired quarterback Brett Favre made it clear on Friday that he has absolutely no intentions of getting out of his retirement to play for Green Bay Packers or any team in the league. He is reported to be happy about his decision to abstain from playing at the moment. He made this declaration amidst reports by The Times that his agent, James cook has sent out feelers to different teams to know their interest in taking him in. They claim to have got the news from NFL sources. Both cook and Favre have denied the allegations.

 Favre is in agreement with the Green Bay Packers and his engaging in conversation with any other team would be against the anti-tampering laws of the league. Favre reiterated that he has no immediate plans of returning to the NFL and is contended with his decision to retire from the game. Favre expressed his surprise at the news and denied that he was in knowledge of any enquiries that might have taken place.

Many of the victorious players of the New York Giants team returned to the Giants Stadium to kick start their offseason conditioning camp after their stunning victory at the Super Bowl about two months ago. The Giants closed the doors on the media at the conditioning camp and did not reveal the names of the players as well as the number of the players who had attended the conditioning camp.

The Giants tamed the unbeatable New England Patriots in a Super Bowl championship game on Feb 3rd and this victory was one of the best NFL victories that the Giants have recorded in their NFL history. The receiver of the Giants said to the media that it was great to be at square one practicing and he said that the team had a lot more things to achieve in the near future. The defensive tackle of the Giants, Fred Robbins, feels that it is good to know that many people are hunting behind the Giants players and said that he was very happy to be with his team mates once again.
