"While the Eagles never have added a player who ignited the kind of public firestorm Michael Vick's signing has, historically the team has taken personnel risks.The most infamous, of course, was Terrell Owens. T.O. hadn't committed any felonies when the Eagles acquired him in 2004, but he did carry more baggage than US Airways.Cris Carter, Irving Fryar, and Kevin Allen also caused second thoughts among management.Owens already had ignited plenty of controversies with his "look-at-me" stunts, including the occasion when he pulled a Sharpie out of his sock and autographed the football following a touchdown on national TV.Eventually, he griped and complained his way out of San Francisco, but only after suggesting in a Playboy interview that quarterback Jeff Garcia was gay.The Eagles initially shied away from acquiring the widemouthed wideout, but when a Niners deal with Baltimore fell through, their interest heightened. They got him for a fifth-round pick and defensive lineman Brandon Whiting.After two years, though, Owens again wore out his welcome. He wanted his contract renegotiated, and, when his relationship with Donovan McNabb soured and the circus surrounding him and agent Drew Rosenhaus intensified, he was suspended, deactivated, and, finally, released.Another outstanding receiver, Carter, also created a dilemma for Eagles management.Rumors about Carter's possible drug use hung over him at Ohio State. When it was discovered that he had signed a deal with notorious agent Norby Walters while still in school, he was not permitted to play as a senior."
