Sources: Terrell Owens Done In Dallas
Two of the NFL’s most insightful rumor sources believe that Terrell Owens‘ days in Dallas are over.
Would this really be a surprise? It most likely is one of the major makeovers the Dallas Cowboys are planning to improve team chemistry and change the whole leadership of the team after a disappointing season and more than a dozen years without a playoff win. It hurts to even say that.
If the Cowboys can trade Owens, maybe a draft day trade, it would be an amazing move for the team, but it is almost certain that teams will just let the Cowboys release the player before anyone honors a trade for his high salary. It means a hefty cap hit, but the Cowboys don’t need a whole lot on this team to win.
It is very possible, as I told some buddies last night during my birthday bash, that the Cowboys may trade away most, if not all, of their 2009 draft picks and just not do much in free agency or the draft to save cash flow. The first priority is signing DeMarcus Ware and cleaning up the locker room.
Also, expect Greg Ellis to be released or traded. He once again is doing his annual whining about his playing time and it’s just getting old. The Cowboys may not be too happy with Anthony Spencer, either, but he’s the obvious replacement for Ellis and there are teams who would love to take on Ellis, who still performs at a pretty high level. As I mentioned before, would the Cowboys be interested in Julius Peppers?
And personally, I think Ray Lewis would love to play for the Dallas Cowboys, and I don’t care what any Baltimore native says.
OK..Not more sources..Is anyone going to ever us a person’s name?..This source crap is getting old..No offense but I don’t believe anything until it happens and then I make sure I am awake and not sleeping..
January 30th, 2009 at 2:13 pmI honestly hope TO stays. I really don’t think he’s a big a problem as everyone makes it out to be, and the cap hit wouldn’t be worth it. Especially if he goes to a team in the NFC (wouldn’t surprise me if the skins pulled the trigger). and if he does go, were gonna need to pick up another receiver because Crayton won’t be able to hack it at the number 2 spot. Package Crayton an TO together an get what you can. Get someone that can play the 2 spot, or 1 spot (boldin, housh, plax? not sure his situation) but any of those guys would be a stretch. and let Austin take the slot. He’s earned it. In fact, I say get rid of Crayton before TO, or give Austin his spot. All he does is talk. TO talks but can back it up on the field. Crayton is starting to remind me of Freddie Mitchell.
And I don’t think the Cowboys have any problems with Spencer. That one incident, although irresponsible, won’t tarnish his image that badly. Up until that incident I haven’t heard a bad thing about the kid.
I am all for trading Greg Ellis. I have given him the benefit of the doubt time an time again. I don’t care if the complaining is justified or not, Spencer has worked his ass off, he deserves to start. If Ellis does stay, I think we should move him back to DE.
I would love to see Ray Lewis with a star on his helmet, but i wouldn’t go as far to say he would love to play for Dallas. I think with the right offer, he would, but Ray has played in Baltimore his whole career and played a big role in making that defense what it is, so I have to think they have the advantage over us in his mind.
A suggestion though. What about DeAngelo Hall. Skins only signed him for the rest of this season, so he should be a UFA right? Why consider bringing back Pac? Hall is the same type of player, only he has no off field issues. Critics would say he’s not a team player, but that was in ATL when his coach bailed on the team for a college job, his close friend and QB Vick went to prison and the Front Office looked like they didn’t even care. There weren’t “MeAngelo” headlines any other times. The guy was drafted at 20 yrs old, so hes a 25 yr old vet with 5 yrs experience, and i’d feel way more comfortable with him than Scandrick or Jenkins.
January 30th, 2009 at 2:32 pmOne T.O. is not gone until he is dont plan on Hall wanting to play for us. Two Scandrick has not really done anything bad he has played great for what he was picked up for. Jenkins is a first round pick so sooner or later he is going to have to be part of this team like it or not. I think it is stupid to let T.O. go unless you have someone like Boldin to replace him. Also letting him go will make it alot harder on the OC to make himself look any better. I dont mind if they do this just need a replacment and you are right Austin has earned that spot and will always be a threat with his speed.
January 30th, 2009 at 4:00 pmDon’t get me wrong, I’m definitely not dissing Scandrick or Jenkins. I think Jenkins had a rough season, but will turn out OK and I actually think Scandrick will be better than Jenkins and both will be better than Hall in the long run. Scandrick really impressed me this season. I was just saying, RIGHT NOW, i would rather have D Hall. Because chances are, Henry or Newman will go down at some point next season, and one of those two are gonna have to start.
January 30th, 2009 at 4:17 pmIm with Bevomav, I’ll believe it when I see it. Until then it is what it is…rumors
January 30th, 2009 at 4:57 pmRay Lewis does NOT want to play in Dallas. He wants to play for a championship contender
January 30th, 2009 at 5:25 pmI’m glad T.O. is done in Dallas, both parties need to move on from this dysfunctional relationship!
AND maybe a trade or change in venue will make his share price go up a bit on my OneSeason account!
January 30th, 2009 at 6:35 pmHow did Jenkins get in this conversation?..He is a rookie and was hurt..but he will be fine..
January 30th, 2009 at 8:12 pmI just don’t see JJ releasing TO..no way there will be a trade..trades don’t happen very often in the NFL..Plus TO may be done in the NFL if the Boys release him..Not to mention..he will cost the Boys 68OK to release..So dysfunctional and all ..he stays..
My sources trump Dan’s sources..LOL
if we want to be a contender this coming season, T.O has to stay…lets face it we have a triple headed monster in the back field. With T.O on the field they still have to keep a safety on top on him..he is still an elite receiver 10 Tds on a bad season? thats ok..and besides not even the dumbass redskins would give anything for t.o..lets face it t.o is here to stay..i think he has gotten to the point where it doesnt matter how you get into the SB he jus wants to get there..and he gives us that opportunity with Barber Felix and Choice in the backfield i dont think we are going to have to throw the ball…and miles austin coming into his own now we have pretty good receivers..i think the only 2 problems this team has are..our secondary and our O line..newman is the only good CB we have he cant do it alone..henry should be released or play free safety not strong safety he cant tackle..just the like the rest of the team. other then that i dont see any problems the coaches are going to stay so whinning about it is not going to get us anywhere. Lets just hope we can good cheap DBs in the draft.
January 30th, 2009 at 11:15 pmEbony bird sounds like a chicks magazine
January 31st, 2009 at 7:48 pmcongrats to “THE BULLET”………he’s in…….one of the greatest game changers of alltime gets his due
January 31st, 2009 at 8:24 pmBYE BYE T.O. Give me Anquan Boldin!!!!!
February 2nd, 2009 at 12:19 amI also agree with bevomav, this media contempt for the Dallas Cowboys has got to stop. It’s becoming painfully obvious that for lack of evidence these reporters claim unnamed sources. the Cowboys are hunted for negative events to boost ratings. T.O. don’t look to be going anywhere no time soon except for the sources report.
Go silver and blue.
