Owens publicly criticised the Eagles and team-mate McNabbTerrell Owens' season is effectively over after an arbitrator ruled the Philadelphia Eagles were justified in suspending him for four games.
Owens, 31, was suspended on 5 November for criticising the Eagles, quarterback Donovan McNabb and for fighting with former team-mate Hugh Douglas.
Two days later, the Eagles extended the suspension to four games.
The Eagles were adjudged to have clearly proved the suspension was justified by the arbitrator.
Philadelphia, currently struggling at 4-6 at the bottom of the AFC East, have made it clear they want Owens to play no further part in their season.
In a statement, the club said: "From this point, we look forward to moving on and will have no further comment on this issue."
Owens is seen as one of the best wide receiver in the league, but the Eagles – who lost last season's Super Bowl to New England – have made it clear they are content to let him go.
The player had been unhappy since the off-season, when the Eagles refused to renegotiate his seven-year, $48m contract.
The NFL Players Association had argued that the suspension should be reduced and wanted to force the Eagles to either play Owens or release him.
