Re: Cowboys cut T.O.
I guess he can brag like Deion Sanders who says that Daniel Snyder financed one of the wings in his mansion.

Re: Cowboys cut T.O.
Dallas did'nt release TO. Romo did. TO knew he had to cry for Romo because he knew he(TO) would be the scapegoat if Romo failed. Well guess what? Romo failed. TO is gone.
News from The Associated Press Owens caught more touchdown passes than any NFL receiver over the last three years and was a big part of Tony Romo's emergence from an unknown backup to a starlet-dating Pro Bowl quarterback with a $67 million contract. The Romo-Owens relationship appeared to fray late this past season, with Owens upset about everything from game plans to pass distribution. He had 213 yards in one game, but cracked 100 yards in only one other game, the otherwise forgettable finale. "I know it takes a lot of pressure off Romo," Hurd said. "A guy like him demands the ball and you want to get him the ball. Now he can look at all of us and see which one is open on any given play. ... I don't think that was a problem. That's just what could and might start happening." Jones was slow to go along. Just a few weeks ago, he indicated Owens wasn't going anywhere and firmly said the idea of locker-room problems were "a figment of the result. You didn't hear about those things when we were winning." Next year is Romo's turn if his play does'nt prove it was TO's fault. IMO Last edited by 44ever; 03-05-2009 at 05:27 PM. |

Re: Cowboys cut T.O.
I guess the 1# receiver will be bitch ass Jason Witten. Can't stand players who are the media's darling. The last straw for Dallas, was when Jason Witten leaked to the meeting that T.O. and Roy Wiliams had a meeting with Jason Garrett about Witten and Romo fazing them out of the offense. Can't wait to play Dallas this season.

Witten is the best tight end in football and will have another monster year if healthy. Getting rid of Owens was the best thing Dallas could have done. |

Re: Cowboys cut T.O.
Williams is talented but I don't know about a monster year. Cooley is as good as Witten if not better. IMO.

![]() I really don't see Dallas as a competitive team this year. I think i've said here before in my view Choko Romo will slide into mediocrity as time passes... i think he'll be more or less mediocre this year. Everything was fun and games for this guy in the beginning but massive pressure has been building and will only build more and if his history under pressure is any indication things will only get worse...

Cooley is right there with Witten as a pass catcher and ball carrier (maybe a shade better) but he isn't near the blocker that Witten is. Witten can shut down our ends without help, at least he could before the big boy showed up! |

Roy is great, but everything depends on Romo. I think Romo could be in for a bumpy ride in '09. |

Wade & Garrett should be next......never mind as long as those two our on board they are going nowhere! COWBOYS OFFICIALLY DUMP OWENS, WILLIAMS Posted by Mike Florio on March 5, 2009, 4:52 p.m. The Dallas Cowboys finally have formalized the release of receiver Terrell Owens and safety Roy Williams.“Terrell Owens was a very productive player who performed at a very high level for all three of his years here in Dallas,” said owner Jerry Jones. “But we have made a decision to move forward without him. “In the aftermath of the season, we talked about change. Some of what is changing involves the process and some of it involves people. “This is a decision that was made based upon consideration for an entire team. We will move on now with a new team — a new attitude — and into a new stadium. The evaluation process and the prospect for change will continue at every level of the organization.” In those 105 words, Jones said plenty. He essentially admitted that all of the stories about dissension in the locker room were true, even though he had said they’re false. He also has acknowledged that significant change is needed. So why hasn’t he fired the head coach? Jones’ comments contradict the notion that he has been out of touch when it comes to the state of his team. The fact that he has not engaged in sweeping change, then, reinforces our suspicion that the combination of a sagging economy and the opening of a billion-dollar stadium might have prompted Jones to avoid the cost of buying out Wade Phillips (and the highly-compensated Jason Garrett) and then hiring their replacements.

Re: Cowboys cut T.O.
Never mind, a more up to date list.... and YES of course the iggles earned there spot.
T.O.? THE ANSWER IS NO. | Philadelphia Inquirer | 03/05/2009 Posted by Mike Florio on March 5, 2009, 11:17 a.m. EST As we’re doing with Mike Vick, we’ll be keeping a running tally of all of the teams that have said ”thanks” followed immediately by “no thanks” to the possibility of signing receiver Terrell Owens. Please note that this only reflects teams that already have said that they’re not interested: The Dallas Cowboys. (Duh.) The New York Giants. The Washington Redskins. The Baltimore Ravens. The San Francisco 49ers. The Minnesota Vikings. The Atlanta Falcons. The Cleveland Browns. The San Diego Chargers. The Philadelphia Eagles. The New York Jets. The Tennessee Titans. The St. Louis Rams. Here are the teams that likely will join the list soon: The Miami Dolphins.

Pittsburgh is simply way too classy of an organization to ever have TO. He'd probably get his ass kicked in their locker room during his first week with the team. For them, if it ain't broke don't fix it. Limas Sweed is an up-and-comer, plus they have Holmes and Ward.
