Cowboys release TO *Merged*

[DallasEast]

Fixed it for you.

 

[khiladi]

Your man, TO, will never get a SB ring...not with the way he acts.

And, where are your boys, 5Countem (he's online) and my bro Bleu Star?

Anyway, the team just got better with TO gone...good luck for him the rest of the way.

They got better? How, when they didn't get rid of Jason Garrett... They just got a new back-up QB that also forces INTs and holds on to the ball way too long, but also throws the ball deep. I thought we were trying to reign in the TOs.. It is like the Lions all over again.. So the Cowboys are emphasizing run with another QB who played in a pass-happy offense..

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

It's called making the shift to a ground game, we have the backs.

Yes. But what the heck does the rest of the NFL know about modern football?
3 yards and a cloud of dust is the coming thing.

Does this make Crayfish our No. 2?
Uh-oh.

Cerrato: 'No Interest' In T.O.

Posted: March 5, 2009

The Commanders have “no interest” in signing wide receiver Terrell Owens, executive vice president of football operations Vinny Cerrato said.

Owens was released on Thursday by the Dallas Cowboys.

“[Owens’s representatives] called us three years ago before he went to Dallas, and we didn’t have interest then,” Cerrato said. “Why would we have interest when he’s three years older now? We have no interest.”

Cerrato said the Commanders remain committed to developing their young group of wide receivers, including 2008 second-round picks Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly.

Owens is a 13-year NFL veteran who has played for the San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys. He is 35 years old.

Owens has 951 career catches for 14,122 yards and 139 touchdowns in his career.

OH NOES!

What will people panic over now that Terrell Owens' options for rejoining the NFC East has dropped to only one team, the Giants, and that's a slim-to-none possibility? The nightmare that is Terrell Owens may not play in the division! OH NOES!



Sorry. That's argument has been the most cowardly crap I've read on this board. This is football. This is the N-F-L. You don't run from opponents. You meet them headon--no matter who is on the opposing roster.

"oh no. Terrell Owens will play us twice a year like he did in Philly."

Sad.

Anything new with the Boys?

Yeah, you are right. I mean, Kitna never has ever handed off to a running back.

TO is a great player! Nobody questions that! It's his mouth and his overpowering persona that destroys teams. Geez...why can't you understand that?

His release is noone's fault except his own. Get over it...

 

[iceberg]

well im way late on the action haha but ah i think this move sucks! we arent any closer to winning a championship cause we released him, our problems are much bigger than T.O. We still have a soft HC, no leaders in the locker room, and a QB that cant handle pressure worth a crap! T.O got a bad rep here from his previous stops. I will never hate on a guy that just wants to win!

but romo wants to win.
wade wants to win.
all players on the cowboys i'm sure want to win.
so do all the coaches.

you can stop hating now.

 

[iceberg]

Compared to his previous two stops he has grown up a whole hell of a lot.

Nice emoticons.

did he or just learn to shut up and do it less in front of the camera?

Roy does the same since we only want choir boys now maybe we should cut him too let's not forget Crayton biggest mouth on the team

 

[Apollo Creed]

In case you all have poor memories, the last game this team played Philly destroyed us 44-6.

We have a lot more problems that just the 'culture' of the locker room being polluted by T.O. Like pass protection, run blocking, our secondaries inability to ever make a play, our secondaries inability to stay on the field, our gaping hole at MLB, etc. The once hot commodity Jason Garrett went 0 for 6 in job searches. Wade has lost any control of this team outside his 11 guys.

Owens is just a scapegoat.

So what if he can hand the ball off? When he passes, he holds on to the ball too long. His passes per catch is high, and he throws INTs. It is the same QB that fits into what Garrett has been doing all along.

 

[jackrussell]

Jerry Jones knocks on Terrell Owens' door...

"Hello"?

"Hi Drew. Is Terrell available?"

"Next question."

"Is Dave there?"

"Dave's not here man."

It's the End of Days for Terrell Owens fans everywhere.

Repent.

 

[DallasEast]

"Is Dave there?"

"Dave's not here man."

Classic.

Maybe Jerry can trade for Brady?


Good bye!

 

[Avaj]

Owens is just a scapegoat.

Owen is not a scapegoat, just part of the problem. It is like cleaning house, you can't get everything clean at once, you clean one area at a time. So Jerry is starting to clean and he started with T.O.

Elsewhere in the NFC East ...

Giants have "zero" interest in troubled WR Terrell Owens according to source

By Ralph Vacchiano
DAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITER

The Terrell Owens Circus is not coming to town.

Despite a gaping, Plaxico Burress-sized hole at the receiver position, the Giants are not interested in the suddenly available Owens, who was released from the Dallas Cowboys late Wednesday night. According to a person familiar with the team's thinking, they have “zero” interest in the 35-year-old headache at any price.

That's hardly surprising given what the Giants have watched Owens do the rest of the NFC East over the last few years. Though he was once a key part of the Philadelphia Eagles' run to Super Bowl XXXIX - and was nearly the hero of that game - he became a divisive force in their locker room the next season and was eventually shipped out. Then he signed with the Cowboys and helped divide their locker room, too.

He became such a headache, in fact, that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones decided to wash his hands of the troublemaker less than a year after giving him a four-year, $34 million contract extension that included a $12.9 million bonus.

Even if the Giants had been interested in the 6-foot-3, 218-pound receiver, he would've likely been prohibitively expensive. Owens - who has made no secret over the years about his lust for money - was due a $2.67 million salary in 2009 and a $3.1 million roster bonus in June. It's hard to imagine he would've accepted a contract that paid him less than the $5.77 million he was expecting to earn this year.

Had it not been for the money and the inevitable headaches, though, perhaps he could've been a fit in New York. With Burress' status uncertain, pending his March 31 court date to answer charges of carrying a loaded an unlicensed gun in Manhattan, the Giants do have a need for a No. 1 receiver. And they were not interested in any of the ones on the free-agent market, including the top one - T.J. Houshmandzadeh - who ended up signing with Seattle.

There are rumors that the Giants are interested in trading for either Cleveland's Braylon Edwards or Arizona's Anquan Boldin - Boldin has asked for a trade, and Edwards is rumored to be on the block - but so far that appears to be more chatter than reality. It would cost a lot in draft picks (and perhaps players) to trade for either receiver. Plus both are reportedly seeking new contracts worth at least $10 million per year.

Owens, who has 1,000 receiving yards in nine of the last 11 seasons, wouldn't have cost that much, and he is still in that talent class. He could have been an inviting target for Giants quarterback Eli Manning, but the price - in terms of both money and baggage - just wasn't worth the risk.

Thanks for the article bbgun. Now there is only one response to all the folks who were shaking in their boots about big bad Terrell Owens coming back twice a year to enact his "revenge" on the his former team:

Funny how TO is allegedly "indispensable" to Dallas but so unattractive to everyone else.

He does have so many "strengths".
