On Friday, Owens’ lawyers sent a letter to the team’s ownership, seeking payment and an about-face as to the public allegation that he missed an event at a children’s hospital.
The deadline for the team to pay Owens is noon tomorrow. If the team fails to meet T.O.’s request, he’ll head to court looking to settle the feud there.
