Well, they can still be benched at least...

Benching is good.
I agree they should not be able to not pay him (did he get paid actually?) They guarantee salary that's the way it is, live with it. If you bench him too bad, eat his salary.
The next team ought to be smart and sign an idiot like Owens to a performance based contract. Like the Leafs did with Lindros in case he got his head knocked off early in the season.
