Atlanta — Terrell Owens was at a football game Saturday night. Just not one involving the Philadelphia Eagles.
Unhappy with his contract and sent home for a week by the Eagles, Owens attended the Atlanta Falcons' preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens at the Georgia Dome.
The receiver has a home in Atlanta and plenty of time on his hands after getting kicked out of Eagles camp, the fallout from a heated dispute with coach Andy Reid. He can't return to camp until Wednesday, but has made it clear he won't be happy without a new contract.
Philadelphia has steadfastly refused to redo the seven-year, $49 million deal that Owens signed before last season.
Owens, who was sitting four rows behind the Falcons bench, declined comment when approached by a reporter.
While the Falcons desperately need a big-time receiver, team officials have said privately that there was no chance they would trade for Owens.
