Reports: T.O. released by Cowboys
NFL.com Wire Reports


IRVING, Texas -- Terrell Owens' days in Dallas are done, according to multiple reports.

ESPN cited sources Wednesday night in saying that the Cowboys have decided to cut the receiver, ridding them of a big locker-room distraction but also absorbing a big hit on their salary cap.

The team did not immediately have a comment. A spokesman for Owens said he hadn't heard the news, and that Owens was traveling and could not immediately be reached. The Dallas Morning News reported on its web site late Wednesday that Owens was informed of the decision by team officials.

So, where does the highly talented but batshit insane WR go from here? He says he wants to go to a contender but will any contender take him?

I'd take him back, I loved having him here but I doubt there is any way that will happen.

I'm thinking Redskins or Giants but the Raiders are not out of the realm of possibility even though they are not a contender. If he goes there it will be for the money and because no one else will take him.

1. Let's all sit back and watch now as madinmaryland frantically

explains how he never liked TO from begin with.

I'm personally thrilled that Owens' career of celebrating as a visiting player on the Dallas star can continue.

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[WilliamPitt]

2. Miami

[madinmaryland]

3. Parcells bring in TO?

I doubt it.

[Upton]

4. I doubt it too

Pennington can't throw the ball more than about 10 yards downfield...what good is a receiver like TO going to do them?

[trumad]

9. Shaun Hill vs Chad Pennington

Pennington's average yard per throw: 7.67

Hill's: 7.10

Pennington's longest pass play: 80

Hill's: 48

Pennington's attempt total and interceptions: 476 attempts---7 int's

Hill's Attempt totals and interceptions: 288 attempts----8 int's

Pennington's QB rating---97.4

Hill's QB rating---87.5

In every category---Pennington beats your quarterback.

Oh sure--- you'll talk about his performance in the playoffs--- but he beats Hill there as well because at least he made the playoffs.

Now I'm certain you'll come back with some type of counter that is typical of a Cboy/Upton explanation.

It will be void of facts, and full of hyperbole and strawmans.

Fact: Pennington is much better than Hill.

[Upton]

10. Fact: Chad Pennington is a bum

his numbers are inflated because of Miami's WEAK schedule, opponents had a winning percentage of .461, ..that's W-E-A-K..just like Pennington's arm.

Only ONE win over a playoff team...that's O-N-E...the same number of TD passes Pennington had in the playoffs against the Ravens...while throwing 4 INTs.

Pennington looks like a little boy and throws like a little girl...he will be exposed in the upcoming season when Miami plays a REAL schedule and fails to make the playoffs.

[trumad]

17. But---he's better than your QB....

[BulletproofLandshark]

22. Chad Pennington is the most accurate passer of all time.

http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/P/PennCh01.htm

66.0 % completion rate.
2.6 % interception rate (12th best ever)

His long injury history is the only thing keeping him from being recognized as one of the elite QB's of this decade.

Oh,and he threw one more TD in the '08 playoffs than anyone on the Niners roster.

[trumad]

26. Upton is stuck with Shaun Hill

Ha

[TZ]

5. NOT Washington, PLEASE not Washington

I would have to boycott my Skins. I would not be able to watch them crumble as he slowly destroyed them from inside out...

[Captain Hilts]

6. Zorn knows Tee Oh's a quarterback killer. Sonny would back him up if..

it were to come up with Danny Boy.

[madinmaryland]

7. Ahh! What a beautiful site! The Deadskins disintegrating under the watchful

eye of Danny-boy Snyder!!

:rofl:

[cboy4]

13. Listen to the TO Cowgirls lover suddenly start bashing him...

I mean, just a few months ago, you were gushing all over him. (Get out the brain bleach.)

I just knew you wouldn't respond the my OP.

You're so predictable.

[madinmaryland]

14. As a forty-whiner fan, I'm sure you don't understand what I was saying.

I'm just giving someone grief who had given me grief about Dallas. Nothing bad to say about TO, was there.

:shrug:

Crawl back under the covers with your boyfriend, upton.

[cboy4]

35. Wow, you and trumad have really amplified your homophobia

I don't blame you, however.

Me pinning you in a corner all the time with absolutely no possibility of rebuttal leaves you no choice but to resort to that.

[KamaAina]

15. But he'd get a chance to stand on the star every year!

then again, he would with the Giants, too. Iggles... been there, done that.

[NJmaverick]

8. Well he is done with his NFC East tour

it's reported neither the Skins nor the Giants have any interest

[ReliantJ]

11. Raiders. $20 its the Raiders

they hire criminals like Dallas, but they suck at it

[Auggie]

28. I think even Al Davis will pass here

Owens would destroy the mental game of JaMarcus Russell. They have cap issues too.

[Angleae]

32. That and TO wants to play with playoff contenders.

Not a team that competes for last place.

[Onceuponalife]

12. What a stupid move

They would have never been in contention without him. Sure, he's a jackass but sometimes you have to put up with that if you want to win. *cough* baroid bonds *cough*

[BOSSHOG]

16. Sadly the Saints are being talked about

as a future home for him. He and Brees could be awesome but I'd rather do without the drama and ultimate negativity. Besides the Saints have an awesome passing game without him.

[madinmaryland]

18. Well, TO will put the "I" in Saints.

:shrug:

[BulletproofLandshark]

23. It would be a shame if he ended up in the Big Easy.

Drew Brees clearly doesn't need him to put up explosive passing numbers. In fact, I believe his numbers would drop due to Brees having to think about Mr. Headcase getting his touches, lest he pitch a fit on the sidelne.

[BOSSHOG]

24. And NOLA already has its share of drama queens

(the good kind.) They have made some moves to shore up their defensive backfield. I hope this TO nonsense is just the local sports talking heads needing something to yak about. Ironically I think Owens nonsense would be lost in the daily aura of the city that care forgot.

[bluedigger]

19. New England needs a third receiver,

and has a little cash available...


(Oh my God, did I say that in public?!!):banghead:

[MrSlayer]

20. They just traded for Greg Lewis.

Who, for some reason, they have been trying to get off of us for three years.

[Arkana]

36. T.O. ended up in Buffalo--which means we and our shitty secondary get

to play him twice a year! :suicide:

[Robeson]

21. Against my better judgement, I think he'd be great in Indianapolis...

...that is the one QB he couldn't throw under the bus, and if he even tried, he'd be gone the next day.

[Scurrilous]

The Dallas Cowboys. (Duh.)

The New York Giants.

The Atlanta Falcons.

The Cleveland Browns.

The San Diego Chargers.

The Philadelphia Eagles.

The New York Jets.

The Tennessee Titans.

The St. Louis Rams.

Miami Dolphins confirm they're not interested in Terrell Owens

[Onceuponalife]

29. Detroit could use some help LOL

[Upton]

31. Bucs and Raiders have now said no too.

http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/03/06/bucs-raiders-say-no-on-to-too/

[Captain Hilts]

27. Is calling the 'Cowboys', 'Cowgirls' funny any more? No, it isn't. nt

[Upton]

30. How about just..the 'Girls?

the "felons" is another popular and most appropriate name for Dallas's NFL franchise.

[MrSlayer]

34. I'm not trying to be funny.

That's just the way I refer to them.

[MrPerson]

33. Wide outs are the least important position.

He should try out as a kick returner.

[ProfessorGAC]

37. Well, That Sure Was The Case for the Bears

They took the best special teams weapon in football (Devin Hester) and made him a mediocre receiver. Now, he's an unimportant piece of the team.
