ESPN.com's
Len Pasquarelli reports the three-year contract signed by WR
Terrell Owens with the
Dallas Cowboys provides him the opportunity to be one of the highest-paid wide receivers in
NFL history over a three-year period, and the chance to earn more than he would have under his contract with the
Philadelphia Eagles. The contract can be worth as much as $25 million if Owens plays through the deal and Dallas opts to pay him pricey roster bonuses in the springs of 2007 and 2008. Owens will earn a bonus of $5 million for this season and a base salary of $5 million, for total compensation of $10 million. Dallas must then pay Owens a roster bonus of $3 million in March 2007 to retain him for that season, at a base salary of $5 million. There is another roster bonus of $3 million due in March 2008, and Owens has a base salary of $4 million for that year.
