Cowboys cut T.O.
 

Terrell Owens' stay in Dallas is over. The Cowboys cut the wide receiver Wednesday night, reports ESPN.com's Michael Smith. T.O. spent three seasons in Big D.

Re: Cowboys cut T.O.
 

Just saw it. Jones had a lot of people in his ear about this and finally pulled the trigger. One less act in the circus.

Re: Cowboys cut T.O.

Who will be available around their pick?

Re: Cowboys cut T.O.
 

Anyone know how big of a cap hit the Cowpukes will take? Just curious.

Re: Cowboys cut T.O.
 

Saddest day of my life... now there's a slight chance they wont completely implode :(

Who am I kidding, Jerry's not leaving anytime soon.

Re: Cowboys cut T.O.
 

That's too bad. Now who's going to blow up their locker room?

Re: Cowboys cut T.O.
 

dudes, dare I say it....do you think snyder or vinny are interested in him? I hope to god they are not. I say he is going to go to either oakland...or to the patriots. man him and randy moss would be dangerous

Re: Cowboys cut T.O.
 

i wonder who would wear 81

Please don't jinx us.

Re: Cowboys cut T.O.
 

The Giants could sign him, but I'm sure they'll just pick up another d-lineman.

Re: Cowboys cut T.O.
 

Eagles could use a WR :)

Giants, Jets, Pats, Bears, Colts, Vikings all make sense too

By the end of this week Owens, Holt, and Harrison could all be looking for jobs. That's quite a market for veteran WRs that could push a team over the top

[quote=Ruhskins;534054]The Giants could sign him, but I'm sure they'll just pick up another d-lineman.[/quote]

The best possible scenario would be him going there. It won't happen, though.

This is bad news. This actually makes Dallas better.

I really wish we didn't have 12 million in cap space with him available. I am going to buy paper bags for the games if we sign him.

Re: Cowboys cut T.O.
 

I'm not going to lie I would be more than ok with it if we signed him. I don't like him as a person at all, but he could help us big time. It would be risky, but it could work. Maybe not.

Only if he comes dirt cheap and we device a jockstrap filled with C-4 and a remote detonator. "Ok T.O., you make a peep and you'll go boom". Actually, any team that even considers him should take note of this idea. LOL.

Re: Cowboys cut T.O.
 

[quote=Ruhskins;534047]Anyone know how big of a cap hit the Cowpukes will take? Just curious.[/quote]Purely based on knowledge of similarly structured contracts, the dead cap should be somewhere equal to his expected salary for the 09 season.

In other words, it's a relative net zero gain on the cap to release him as opposed to keep him. This is strictly a football move.

Re: Cowboys cut T.O.
 

He will count 9 million towards the cap in 2009 for them (7%) of total cap, or slightly more than it would have cost to keep him (his extension averaged 8.5 million annually, but was likely backloaded).

Yeah, I kinda wish he'd stuck around for a while and further tainted the chemistry of that locker room.

It seemed the 'Skins played well against him (most of the time) and I think we'd be better off with him having a star on his helmet.

Re: Cowboys cut T.O.
 

If Vinny signs him I'm gonna flip and not in a good way. I am glad though that they lost T.O. Roy Williams has only gone over a 1,000 yards in his career once and has had trouble staying healthy so hopefully it'll be easier to beat the Cowboys this year. Then again if the fact that Romo was getting held back is true then those two games a year just got harder.

Dudes I called it months ago.. I wish that shitty little team in dalass was stupid enough to keep him. They just got better by subtraction...

Did they? I mean come on, regardless of the fact that he's a prick, TO has skills and lining him up with Roy Williams basically gave them two #1 receivers. Now they only have Roy Williams, and a whole bunch of middle of the pack receivers.

By the way, not to defend T.O., but what has happened with him and Dallas should not come as a surprise. After the Tuna left, was there really any leadership left in that team? Parcells got two good years out of Owens and kept him somewhat in line, one year with Tubby Phillips and things blow up.

By the way, I would bet anything (if I were a betting man) T.O. ends up with the Raiders.

Re: Cowboys cut T.O.
 

I didn't see this coming.

Maybe Jerry Jones is throwing chum in the water because he knows we'll be tempted with all the cap space we have.

Danny might try to focus TO's distractions into dallas hate and sign him so he can face them twice a year.

I personally wouldn't like to see TO in a Redskins jersey. I can't think of where he'd go next...I just hope he stays the hell away from the NFC Beast.

Re: Cowboys cut T.O.
 

I thought him and Jerry were pretty tight I'm slightly shocked

Re: Cowboys cut T.O.
 

if he stayed, he f*cks their team chemistry, if he goes they aren' quite talented enough at receiver anymore. their obvious team strength goes from very intimidating to not soo much eh? either way they were f*cked and i love it

Re: Cowboys cut T.O.
 

wow. I think TO's finally going to have to settle for less money.

Re: Cowboys cut T.O.
 

Drops too many passes. Didn't run the routes correctly last season. Can help a team? Yes. Is he on the decline. YES! Do we want him? NO!!!

Re: Cowboys cut T.O.
 

There is no way in hell that DeAngelo Hall will play on the same team as T.O. Remember the Thursday Night Game against Atlanta where T.O. spit on Hall and after the game Hall said he didn't respect him "as a man." All that D. Hall has been quiet talk will be for naught if T.O. signs here, in fact he'll get a jump start on destroying a team from the inside out if he comes here.

[yt]hbFjZJ7NBWs[/yt]

Anyway the fact of the matter is that D. Hall is here and he's got the big contract. So for everyone worried that Vinny would sign T.O. take a breath and relax. Even Vinny isn't that crazy. I'm actually surprised that no one mentioned this sooner.

Dirtbag wins the thread...wait he just lost it as declaring oneself the winner equals automatic fail. Either way, craziness is now settled.

Re: Cowboys cut T.O.
 

I forgot all about that d hall-t.o. spat a few season ago. Like that logic.

I think he was talking about who would wear 81 if TO went to New England. Thanks for paying respect to Monk and Green. I agree, both numbers should be retired by the Redskins.

HAIL!

I read the hit will be about 9 mill.

Re: Cowboys cut T.O.
 

T.O for all his antic's made Dallas a better team cause he was a #1 WR. ...He dropped a lot of balls and ran wrong routes....How much of that was Romo's fault? ie; threw the pass too hard on short routes, over thrown balls, balls not thrown hard enough on the long balls, and the dirt balls? True he may have ran wrong routes....sometimes he looked like he did during a game but how much of it was the other WR ran the wrong route bringing all the defenders into the zone T.O. was supposed to be in? How much of it was T.O. could not hear the play being changed at the line of scrimage?

No one can dispute T.O. has talent it's just his attitude and chemistry. If he could curb the attitude and focus it on the field toward the other team, and have chemistry with a team he would be dangerous. You put him with a team with a strong coach and perhaps word his contract right in case he acts up he knows he can be fined or cut, then he will be fine. He'll destroy the Raiders even further in to dispare. NE would be a good stop for him with the strong HC.

I wouldn't mind having him with the Skins with a decent contract but it's the chemistry issue and I don't know if Zorn could keep him in check. and the Hall incident. He definitly would be our #1 we've needed to compliment Moss and perhaps our new guys could learn a little about route running and using their body to shield the ball from defenders. He would be pissed with Dallas enough to play harder.

Dallas has their issues this year. I don't see them doing very well. They have lost a few peices to their puzzle and even though w/o T.O. the chemistry will be better they have lost a DE, CB, WR and I can't remember what else. WR and DE could be picked up in the draft but as most of us have figured out by now 1st yr WR don't amount to much. DE would be their best bet in the first round then either WR who is talented and tall or a shut down CB. In any case I think they screwed themselves even though they have Williams.

Re: Cowboys cut T.O.
 

Lovely, and in true NFC East form, the Cowboys will draft a future HOFer at WR and be set for years to come.

I am so damn cynical when it comes to teams drafting in the NFCE. It seems every year someone else makes an amazing move while we just keep treading water. Eagles got their's in Desean Jackson last year, now it's the Cowboy's turn. Ugh.

The knock on him his entire career has been sloppy route running and he will drop his fair share. Sounds like you're making excuses for him.

Re: Cowboys cut T.O.
 

Kinda funny that some people are shocked or surprised over this move. This was rumored to be a possibility all offseason, where ya been?
