Dallas Cowboys Cut Terrell Owens to Cap Busy Day in NFL Free Agency
ESPN is reporting that the Dallas Cowboys have decided to cut their star wide receiver, Terrell Owens.
After three years in Dallas—filled with controversy after controversy—the Cowboys decided that the wideout just wasn’t worth the trouble.
Late last season, team owner Jerry Jones said, “The more they’re talking about the Cowboys, the more we like it,” in response to Owens’ antics.
I suppose this will get tongues waggling about “America’s Team” too.
Owen’s release comes after just one year on his four-year extension. Last season, Owens exceeeded 1,000 yards receiving, and caught 10 TDs.
This comes just hours after several other high profile free agents were retained by their teams. The Ravens re-signed MLB Ray Lewis. The Arizona Cardinals re-signed QB Kurt Warner.
In Ohio football news, the Cincinnati Bengals signed WR Laveranues Coles to replace Houshmandzadeh.
