LEAGUE INSIDERS BELIEVE OWENS DEAL IS DONE

We've confirmed through our own network of sources that there is a very strong belief in league circles that the Dallas Cowboys do indeed have an agreement in place with receiver Terrell Owens, who was cut by the Eagles on Tuesday.

We're also hearing that the Eagles are unlikely to make a fuss about the obvious likelihood that an agreement in principle was reached long before Owens hit the open market. After all, they allowed him permission to talk to other teams regarding a trade. It would be, as a practical matter, impossible to prove that the conversations transformed at some point into negotiations toward a contract after Owens was ultimately released.

The Eagles also might not want to start throwing around the "T" word in light of multiple reports that they had a deal in place with former Saints center LeCharles Bentley prior to the start of free agency. Bentley later jilted the Eagles and signed with the Browns.

Meanwhile, the Cowboys deny that a deal has been reached, as does Owens' agent, Drew Rosenhaus, who told FOX's Jay Glazer Thursday night that the reports are erroneous.
