Report: Cowboys cutting T.O.

IRVING, Texas (AP)—Terrell Owens’ days in Dallas are done, according to ESPN.

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.

Just a few weeks ago, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones indicated that T.O. was staying when he said, “You and I both know that the one that you’re asking about all the time, if I gave you the answer that you want to hear, then you would’ve already had it. So the fact you don’t have it ought to tell you something. It really should.”

Jones seemed to enjoy the publicity Owens stirred up as much as the touchdowns he scored. However, there were several in-house issues involving Owens that may have ultimately prompted Jones to decide the receiver wasn’t worth the trouble he caused.

As a die-hard Cowboys fan I am pleased with this move. Get that distraction out of there.

Glad to see the Cowboys getting rid of the malcontents and criminals on the roster. The circus was really wearing thin.

If the NFL and its fans are lucky he will have to sign with the Canadian football league or hit up NFL Europe. I'm sure some jackass GM will give him some money though.
