Sources: Cowboys cut T.O.

The Dallas Cowboys have released controversial wide receiver Terrell Owens, sources told ESPN's Michael Smith late Wednesday.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones did not deny the team is discussing the possible release of Owens in late February.

"There are several decisions on our roster we have to look at," Jones said at the time. "This is the time of year we do that. I'm not trying to be trite, but as you all know we're evaluating players in college, we're evaluating free agents and we're evaluating our own roster. This is an ongoing thing, not any different than this time last year."

The Cowboys paid Owens a $12 million signing bonus just last year, included as part of a new four-year, $34 million deal.

There has been talk since the end of the Cowboys' 9-7 season, in which they missed the playoffs, that they would consider cutting Owens to improve locker room morale.

Not only did Owens have relationship issues with quarterback Tony Romo and tight end Jason Witten, but the receiver consistently criticized offensive coordinator Jason Garrett's play calling and his offensive schemes to the point that sources say Garrett does not believe they can coexist.

While the Cowboys were trying to downplay a possible rift between Owens and Witten during the season, the two reportedly came close to blows in mid-December.

An incident occurred at the Cowboys' training facility when Witten tried to engage Owens in a conversation about a pass route. Owens told Witten to stay away from him and called him a name. The two exchanged words before being separated.

The confrontation came a day after a source told ESPN that Owens believed Romo and Witten -- close friends and road roommates -- hold private meetings and create plays without including Owens.

Owens caught 69 passes for 1,052 yards and 10 touchdowns this season.

FINALLY . . . irrefutable proof that there is a Gawd. :heart:

Edit: Ahhhh, n/m, there it is.
 
first avery now T.O.

we'll take him back, we do only have half a team at the moment (eagles fan <----)
 
Pats wont pick him up.. Him and Moss in the same locker room wont work.

Cowboys are stupid for signing him to 4 yrs and giving him that $12m bonus last year.
 
Released? As in got nothing in return for his departure? Why didn't they just trade his sorry ass to the Lions?

Where are you getting that from?

Personally, I actually wouldn't mind it. Pioli wouldn't be against it (and apparently is looking for older players...), and Haley wouldn't take Owen's shit, so I think they could handle it.

Of course, I've never understood how people can say one player can ruin a team, let alone a wide receiver. I laughed when they were talking to the one guy on the phone and asked if T.O. is a Hall of Famer and he said that the teams he's been on haven't won, like that is a receiver's fault. I understand people don't like him, but if he's capable of disrupting your clubhouse that much then your team clearly has other issues.
 
Even though I find this hilarious, I wish the Cowboys would have kept him. It was fun watching them shit the bed last year and him blame everyone but himself in his usual whiny dramatic spin.

only reason why Randy Moss isn't a personality problem for the Patriots is because playing for the Raiders is a humbling experience

Belichick won't be able to tame TO
 
I can see him with the Ravens, too. BAL has been craving a top go-to receiver for years. I have no idea what their cap is like especially with the Ray Lewis, Matt Birk signing but TO would be kept in check.
Similar with teams like PIT...and NE
