Terrell Owens has made a name for himself not only on the field, but for his outspoken nature and controversial actions. In addition to his over-the-top touchdown celebrations, Owens has been criticized for his selfish nature. In 2005, Owens hired agent Drew Rosenhaus and immediately demanded that the Eagles restructure his contract. The Eagles refused to alter Owens' deal, causing the receiver to make comments about the organization and quarterback Donovan McNabb. Owens was suspended for four games for his actions, which would eventually lead the team to deactivate him for the 2005 season. Owens was released from the Eagles after the season and signed with the Dallas Cowboys.
