Cowboys, Owens Reach Deal
Fox ^

Posted on 03/18/2006 12:36:56 PM PST by Lunatic Fringe

DALLAS -- The Dallas Cowboys called a 3:30 p.m. Eastern time news conference Saturday at which they were expected to announce the signing of volatile wide receiver Terrell Owens.

The Cowboys are not saying what the news conference is about, but earlier Saturday, an official involved in the negotiations told The Associated Press a deal was close.

Owens is among the most talented receivers in the NFL, but he's also been one of the most divisive personalities in the game.

He left San Francisco on bad terms and was released by Philadelphia last week after causing more turmoil with that team.

Didn't they just get rid of Keeshawn because he was a pain-in-the-a**? And isn't TO one of the most hated football players in all of Dallas?

Bad move.

God Bless Tom Landry. I visited his gravesite in Dallas this past summer. Landry & Mickey Mantle are at the same cemetery.

Jerry Jones turned America's Team into America's Joke. Another classless move by this philandering Arkansas fraud.

And has pretty much rendered the star meaningless.

He'll take five years off Bill Parcells' life and I think Parcells only has three years left anyway.

Cowboy fans can never forgive T.O. for dissing the star...

LOL! Just as I predicted.

Eagles give Owens permission to seek trade

This can only help every other team in the NFC East. He'll be fine for the first game (assuming he is in training camp), then it's downhill from there.

3 year deal. Rosenhaus called this "a perfect fit". Couldn't agree more.

The Cowboys seem to thrive on clubhouse irritants.

Well, it's gonna get interesting.

I wanna learn how the contract is structured.

Still, what are contracts with the devil really worth?

Rush brought up a good point. TO's bad boy status won't help him in the long run due to lesser money offered and contract concessions he'll have to make just to play.

The guy can play. And he doesn't even dog it like Randy Moss does.

This is either a brilliant move by Jones, or a disaster. Right now, Vegas odds are 70-30 a disaster.

Place your bets.
