He signed a perfectly good contract before, and he knew what he was getting into. I doubt the Falcons want to mess with everything that comes with TO, especially what they've seen now. That goes for the rest of the NFL as well.
Here's a summary of what TO said in the interview, the most that I can remember. TO said that the altercation started when Andy Reid talked to him in private about him missing an autograph session. At one point, Andy Reid told TO to shut up. TO's response was for Andy to shut up, and that he was a grown man. Andy then left, angrily, and TO went about the rest of his business. Next, Andy's assistant called TO into Andy's office. Andy told him that he would need to be more communative(sp) with his teammates and coaches. TO then said that he was not "Terrell Reid", he was Terrell Owens, and he's not Andy's child. Then he was dismissed.
He continued talking (with frequent interruptions by Drew Rosenhaus, who added in comments to make Terrell sound like the victim) about how he had said he wouldn't be happy, and how he deserves to be paid within the top 10 recievers in the NFL. He also said that even though his $49 million dollar contract sounds large, he only gets a certain amount per year, and it's not garunteed. He also said that he put his career on the line for the Eagles in the super-bowl, and he did it for the fans.
But he mostly repeated that he did it to prove everyone wrong, everyone who doubted him. In short, because he's a selfish cocky sonofabitch.
