2. Uhhh...I doubt he'll have to do that.
He'll be well-paid for sitting on his derriere this season.

He'll be back on an NFL roster next year, no doubt.

3. You don't get paid if you're suspended though

4. 3 more games of suspension, then 5 games deactivated.
He'll get paid for those 5 games.

The collective bargaining agreement only allows for 4 games suspension for conduct detrimental to the team.

5. The Collective Bargaining Agreement for the NFL will only allow 4 games...
...without pay. After that, the Eagles can have him kicked off the team, but they have to pay for him. And they'll take a significant salary cap hit too.

6. I would love to see him get railed into those boards around the field
And see John Bon Jovi jeering him. There wouldn't be a more humbling experience.

9. How 'bout the Hamburg Sea Devils of NFL Europe League?
The Arena League?! Those guys have to play defense! His nickname would be Terrell "Toast" Owens by Week 3.

NFL Europe is another matter. Maybe he could learn to write something auf Deutsch with his Sharpie?

10. NFL Europe would be too good for TO
In NFL Europe he'd get to play in beutifal European soccer stadiums and go to ancient beutifal cities rich in culture. He needs to go hang out in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma a couple of months so he can come back to reality.

11. given the state of his finances
I doubt whether he would 'have' to do anything. If I got paid a million bucks for the rest of the year of doing my job, much less for being suspended, I would not want to keep doing my job even if I could get another million for it. Nor would I be desperate for another job.
