Pacman Released. Is Terrell Owens Next?

the Cowboys had no comment, and after seeing the hearsay in the outside the lines report, what do youse think the chances are Jerry told him theres a chance for him to come back?
the only reasoning i can come up with (assuming Pac isn't making it all up) is that Jerry isn't comfortable with our secondary, and would take him back if he can't get who he wants in FA or the draft. and this is just my first thoughts but, maybe the situation could be releasing Roy, and not finding a replacement, so we move Henry to safety and bring back pac to fill the other corner spot.  Jenkins didn't show me anything to make me feel comfortable giving him the other spot.  thoughts?

....or is he? Pacman says he thinks he'll be back in big D

Jerry has never stood in the way of an employee that has the opportunity to advance. It doesn't matter how much he paid JG if he could get a head coaching job Jerry wouldn't try to stop. Case in point, Tuna, Sparano, etc.

SBorBust, you'd better hope that if the Cowboys draft young receivers, they get better ones than the bums the Redskins got. We took 3 pass catchers in the 2nd round and not one of them is worth a damn.

Replacing Garrett would be no problem.  He was a second year coordinator who was nothing special at this point.  My guess is that he will still be here next year, learning on the job.

T.O. is still an elite receiver.  He constantly draws double teams, freeing up other receivers.  Our opponents would love to see us get rid of T.O. so that they can go man-to-man on all of our receivers.  T.O. is getting near the end of his career, so this will ultimately happen, anyway, but when it does, you can expect to see Romo's stats decrease, just as they did this year.  He has benefited from one of the best receiving corps in the NFL and the best tight end in Witten.  If T.O. is released, another top shelf receiver should be added before the season starts.  Of course, we should have added at least one receiver in last year's draft.  This will be sorely obvious as Washington has two young receivers from last year's draft who have now spent a year developing with Campbell.  We are definitely behind in this process, but what do you expect?

Just seems complicated for anything to happen. Shanahan is the only person who would be able to take Wades spot, but Wade will stay I believe so the only theory you can have is the one where Wade is head coach. Now there is a good chance Garrett is leaving. Now who will Wade want to go with for the offense of corrdinator postion? I dont see Stewart leaving because Wade loves his friends. Looks like Jerry and Wade wants us to belive there is "Change" but I wont belive it until either we win a playoff game or Stewart and Garrett are gone. Defense was horrible with Stewart now get rid of him. The special teams was terrible they got rid of that coach. Offense was horrible so now let Garrett go. I believe Wade can have success at head coach, but he needs to start thinking where Stewart is going to come in hand for him.

by the way, what kind of agreement was made last year when garrett was given $3 mil to stay on. ? was there some sort of contract and time table laid out for him? seems awful funny that jerry gives him 3 mil one year and then just lets him walk the next????? something fishy about it, that ain't a jerry jones move???

i do like your senario steamroller, it might be an easier fix, cause he did say he's keep wade this year. but garrett still could be the key. remember he hired garrett before he hired wade.

T.O. made Sherman look like a spineless coward on national television and that is what fed that whole "T.O. is at it again" story from ESPN because they had a picture to go with the tabloid. I don't see Jerry letting T.O. go either really, but if Garrett goes and Jerry brings in an offensive coordinator that is going to make this offense click without getting rid of Sherman, he may have to get rid of T.O. for it to work.

i still think if garrett leaves, that puts a strain on wade for jerry, he's going to have to address that offense right now, and shanny fits the bill. he could make this offense klick with his gap style running game with the backs we have, look what he's done with sub-par backs in denver? and romo he salivates over. he'd fit.....and we could land a d-cord.????? there's a few ready to move, and just look at that dallas D????/ i'd take it in a heart beat if i was on the move up in the coaching world.

i meant defense , sorry

That all makes sense really, and I am sure Wade will be the coach next year. The question I guess now, is ...WHO will be replacing Garrett if he were to go to Detroit or Denver?

It would make sense for Dallas to first reach out to Rick Dennison from Denver right? That way Dallas could have a little help getting Shanahan landed in Dallas next year if things unfortunately don't work out, and Denver has had a good offense. The problem has been the running game (sub par at RB and injuries), and piss poor defense, but he is likely to stay in Denver unless Shanahan takes a job elsewhere.

I doubt Jerry looks past this year anyway, and that is the way it should be if he truly has faith in Wade. I don't know about Brian Stewart though,... But, that's another story.

 Looking only to replace the offensive play caller, Jerry should look to land New England offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. He would run this offense the way it needs to be ran. Much better than Garrett ever did, but he wants that head coach title. Would Assistant Head Coach and Offensive Coordinator and the $$$ work for him?...Who else? Sherman? If that is the case, T.O. might be hitting the road.

i think wades ultimate fate may lay with jason garrett signing with another team. if that does happen, then jerry's plan is shelled and he may let wade go to bring in an offensive minded coach, like shanahan to run the offense. there are some good d-cords. out there now that would jump at the chance to get this offense, no doubt. and jerry will still be his own GM, that is for damn sure

YOU KNOW, THAT IS KINDA WHAT IS HAPPENING. THE NFL NETWORK IS TAKING OVER AND RIGHTFULLY SO, AND ESPN IS TRYING TO FIGHT BACK, BUT THEY ARE TRIPPING OVER THERE OWN FEET, AND THE PUBLIC CAN SEE IT. HEY WILL FALL IN THE RATINGS BAD. PEOPLE THAT JUST WANT FOOTBALL NEWS NO WHERE TO GO. I COULD GIVE A RATS ASS ABOUT THE NBA, NHL, OR EVEN MLB.....JUST GIVE ME THE NFL.....AND THAT HAS IT'S OWN NETWORK......AMEN

I agree we need Wade to stay head coach so are D still preforms the same way. My question is what is going to happen with Stewart I dont see Wade letting him go yet, but he needs to.

Just looked at the preview of ESPN on Pacman and it looks like another way to get ratings if you ask me. Not sticking up for Pacman or anything just seems like there is no proof at all besides one guy saying that Pacman sent his people after him. The reason I say ESPN is just trying to get more ratings is because they do the same basic thing any one would do to get them. Showed us a preview to get you interested when there isnt crap to even see. I hope Im not the only one to says this but I will not watch this cause ESPN is full of S*&# and getting old wish they would get rid of them. Im not saying this because of what happened toward the Cowboys. They just do this so often to talk about it the whole week. They did it with Portis also talked about it all week. Just let NFL Network take over dont need ESPN.

and i don't think shanahan would be hired and givin an of the GM duties. basically thats why he was fired by bolen in denver. he's made some horendeous player and personell moves the last few years. wade phillups is not going to step aside here and be a d-cord. no way in hell. he'll walk away before that happens. now he may end up a d-cord. for somebody else, but if jones asked him to do it, he'd walk. now that might be a good thing to some of you to see him walk, but did any of you see how well our d played with him at the helm??? did anyone notice anything of the same from shanahan's defense in denver?????????i rest my case

Good point Davedallasfan

yes, giant jerk you are ---asshole..... first off i've heard that a few of jerry's "inner circle" people that advise jerry on player and personell moves have told him to cut loose with owens. jones had said no he would not. he feels athletically owens has a couple of years left, and that owens will want to chase after some records out there at his reach to leave some kind of legacy besides the one of precieved turmoil. owens would like to change his image cause he knows his time is short. also owens will put peoples asses in the seats of a muti-million dollar stadium for sure. think about the investment that jerry has in owens at this point. not that much compared to what it would take to bring in a boldin or houshmensadah. yah those guys are younger, but it took roy williams 8 games to get used to our offence too. owens is very familiar with romo at this point. romo is going into his 3rd year as as starter now, and this will be the tell-tale maturity year. owens is probably more valuable to keep with his cost and expeirence???? i think this is right even though it may not be the most popular of statements. landry used to always say that, "you gotta stay the corse, and you get to your destination faster than following sevral different trails." sounds stupid???? but it ain't more truer of a statement out there.

I'd LOVE to see TO off the cowboys. In fact, I'd love to see Jerry Jones take TO out behind Texas Stadium and shoot him in the back of the head.

steamroller and number_9 hit the nail on the head. I've said it before and i'll say it again, this team's problems stem from leadership, not talent.  The coaching staff are paid to be leaders, and they weren't. Players are paid to make plays, and having players like Ray Lewis who fill leadership roles is what makes teams great.  I say hand that man a blank check and let him lead this team.  I know he's a guy who has personal relationships with half of the players in the NFL, and he would be respected by the team the second he puts on the star.  If you can't pull him away from baltimore, go after Scott or Suggs.  
I think it would be better if we had a leader on offense, but as much as I'd love to see us get what we can for TO and go after Boldin, I don't see that happening, and I don't think Housh is the answer after seeing his lack of leadership in Cincy. Sure he had no beef with 85, but he couldn't keep him in check for the good of the team either.  Ideally, I would like to see Shanahan take over as head coach and most of all GM, and then demote Wade to D-Coordinator.  But I think thats just a pipe dream, and doubt any of it will happen. 
So my solution...get Ray Lewis in here by any means necessary.  Since we have a bunch of lower draft picks, find guys that are somewhat raw talents that can come in and be solid backups and hopefully be groomed to be good players.  With the exception of Ray Lewis, I don't think signing another player will be the answer to our problems.

I'd love to see Ray Lewis in a Cowboys uniform. Your not only getting a great LB but an awesome leader who would demand accountability. Lewis is a free agent after this season so keep a look out on him.

I guess Pacman the superstar would have been worth having to pay bodyguards to keep him out of trouble. Pacman the average player is not.

No way in hell TO would bring a first-round pick T.E.X.A.S. My Redskins are the only team dumb enough to trade high picks for old players, and even they should have learned their lesson by now.
You'd be lucky to even get a first-day pick for Owens.

Address the O and D lines..JJ mistakes is he always goes after the wrong thing..By the end of the year..this offensive line was pitiful..Quality backups are needed..We don't need another Cory Proctor..Period..

Zach Thomas will likely be gone too. Could be making a move to get Ray Lewis for a year or two? A lot of you wouldn't like it, but I think he could help this team out. It would at least shut the media up about leadership, and he would fill in a lot better than any rookie Dallas could land or better than the often injured Kevin Burnett. 

Could Jerry be getting ready to make a play for Houshmandzadeh? He is almost 4 yrs younger than T.O.?

I don't see Haynesworth coming to Dallas unless Jerry has amnesia and can't remember the Gurode incedent a couple of years ago, but there are a lot of other guys in the top of this list that could make sense laying the $$$ out there for.

Sorry, the Free Agency Link is here.

There are a few good WR's in the draft this year, but even IF T.O. was traded, I don't know if Jerry would go after a WR in the first or even the second round with the trade for him. I don't really think he should that early. Since Pac is gone, and likely Tank is out, possibly Canty and the safety Roy Williams, it seems to me that Jerry is getting ready to make a splash in free agency. Maybe on someone BIG. Here is a list of the free agents, and most at the top of the list are UNRESTRICTED free agents. This is the best free agent market in a while.

What would we most likely get in the first round of the draft if we got back in. T.O. could bring a first round pick and more right. Also is Boldin avalible for the 2009 season free agent or are we talking about waiting longer. If so then we could trade T.O. and grab Boldin and maybe a good saftey in the first.

T.O. is a good receiver but maybe it would be for the best to see him part ways. I just dont see Jerry letting go of T.O. unless he plans on picking up someone to replace him.  You know they were saying that Tank was yelling that he is a free agent after the game... WHO CARES!!! The guy did not prove a damn thing let him go please.

WOW!!! Surprised me I know he screwed up but didnt think Jerry would do it this fast. Maybe this is part of Wade changing things.

Hallelujer!!  That is good news.
