Cowboys | Contract update: T. Owens
Sat, 18 Mar 2006 13:21:41 -0800

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.

Megan Manfull, of the Houston Chronicle, reports the Houston Texans will visit with free agent LB Sam Cowart (Vikings) sometime this week.


the skins had talked to him, so figured this was noteworthy.

Cowart's pretty one dimensional. I don't think he's a good pickup at all. Hopefully we spend somewhere else.

yeah, he used to be pretty good, but he's old and slow now and its obvious.
