HERE IS A COPY OF THE ACTUAL MESSAGE:
Apparently they're waiting until Monday because this news would not get a lot of play with all of the basketball games.

Subject: Re: Sports: Terrell Owens To Sign With Cowboys
The Cowboys denied a report late Thursday night from KLBK/Ch. 13 in Lubbock that the team had reached an agreement with free-agent receiver Terrell Owens. The report, citing a source with the Cowboys, also said the team would have a news conference Monday to introduce Owens. Cowboys spokesman Rich Dalrymple said, "We've got nothing planned."

Executives around the league who are familiar with agent Drew Rosenhaus's early dealings with clubs say the Terrell Owens camp is expressing the view that the temperamental wideout won't accept a modest contract just because of his tarnished reputation. Owens is telling teams, through Rosenhaus, that he'll wait as long as it takes to get the sort of contract he wants even if that means the negotiations could drag on for weeks or even months, the executives say.

Thursday night, Lubbock's KLBK-13 CBS TV reported that the Cowboys have struck a deal with Owens. But when contacted by FOXSports.com about the report, agent Drew Rosenhaus vehemently denied that any such deal was finalized.
Despite Rosenhaus' denials however, a source close to Owens told FOXSports.com that the receiver has in fact agreed to a three-year deal with the Cowboys — a deal that likely won't be announced until the weekend in order for owner Jerry Jones to be available in Dallas to properly make the announcement.

Is this true? I saw an article stating your report is "bogus".

REPORT OF T.O. SIGNING IS "BOGUS"
Reports originating from a Lubbock, Texas television station that receiver Terrell Owens has signed with the Cowboys are "bogus," a league source with knowledge of the situation tells us.
KLBK 13 says that sources with the Cowboys have told the station that Owens already has been signed, and that the move will be announced on Monday.
On one hand, we could envision the Cowboys intentionally leaking misinformation in order to scare off other potential suitors while owner Jerry Jones wraps up a vacation. On the other hand, why in the hell would the leak be made to a television station in Lubbock?
Bottom line -- there's no deal, and the reports are erroneous.
