???
What?
We still have 5 WRs on the roster making over $1MM a piece. And we didn’t save ANY salary by cutting TO. So where is the Anquan money coming from? And why do we need him?
Larry Allen benched 700 pounds. That is Leonard Davis times two.
he would have to be traded for . he still has two years left on his contract doesnt he?

Stephen is definitely pulls the strings now
I kind of noticed something was funny when Jerry wanted to trade up to get James Hardy and Stephen told pops to take a walk because he wanted to get Martellus Bennett
Told you guys tendering Hurd meant something
Obviously pros and cons to the move, which have been debated here ad nauseum. But we’ll now get to see if Tony can make his own way as a franchise QB, which I’m really looking forward to.

This was somehow not leaked
Is anyone else amazed by this? The gag order worked to perfection.
I really can’t believe they cut him. I feel like Jerry has grown a lot this offseason in holding people accountable. Hopefully this goes down to the coaches too.
well it was leaked
but the reports were denied
"To be ignorant of one’s ignorance is the malady of the ignorant."
I'm no longer freakin' sleepy!!! I'll tell you that!!!
I can’t believe that Jerry did this either. I didn’t care what anyone said there was NO WAY that I thought Jerry would let this guy go!! None!!
Way to take guys to the woodshed Jerry!!!

Wrote this in the fanpost, here goes
While this may hurt us this year, It’s Good in the long run.
TO was overpaid. He was old. He was in decline. He was trying to make this offense into something it wasn’t. He was perpetually dissatisfied.
Was he still a gamebreaker? Sure. Was his cancerous influence overstated? Probably. But dropping him sets the tone for this team: Nobody is safe. No matter your contractual situation, no matter your status with the club, no matter how many players on the squad vouch for you… You’d better represent with production and pride or your ass is hitting the pavement.
And honestly, I’m not sure we regress without him. Roy’s our clear-cut #1, the role he’s always wanted and needed in order to succeed, and the team’s going to become more run-based anyways. We don’t have 17 balls a game to send Terrell’s way anymore.

Just look on ESPn
They show EVERY clip of him yelling and screaming, like it happened every game, this makes me sick.

I'd agree he was villainized unfairly by ESPN...
…and I don’t dislike the guy, but I’m okay with the move. Now Romo will get to be the unquestioned leader of the team, and we’ll see if he and Garrett have what it takes to be a championship combo. I actually think it might help Tony’s development, because I’d like to see him evolve past the point where he locks onto one receiver. Either way, shouldn’t be any excuses remaining.

Jerry really bit the bullet here. We don’t have anyone with TO’s talent on the team. I don’t believe RW2 can do it. This was all about Tony and handing him this locker room back and saying it’s your team. Let’s see what you do with it. Nobody to blame it on now!!!
Also, look at the message Jerry just sent the rest of the team. "If he’ll cut that guy, take that kind of hit, that crazy MF Jerry will cut ANYONE!!!
This means STFU RW2, Crayton, and any other whiner that starts doing their thing in the media. No soup for you!!!!!

Holly Montecito....
Maybe, just maybe, Romo was the problem, not Terrell. Ever since that divorced actress, who allegedly cheated on her husband with Bam from Jackass fame, got her hooks into the best quarterback never to win a playoff game, things have gone south, with Owens taking the blame. Hopefully this will send a message to the Bill Buckner of the NFL that no one is safe.
Thanks for the laught Tex

I’m honestly rooting for the guy to succeed. ESPN’s gonna completely overdue this with the whole cancer thing, when in reality it was in large part a business decision.
I'm okay with this but I'll go along with you.
I didn’t like everything TO did but I don’t like sharks either. I’ll bet TO’s hurting right now and they smell blood!!! It’s their turn to get back at him for daring not to talk to that a**hole Werder during Q & A’s and for calling him a liar. I just hope he gets on with a team that we don’t play this year and has a good year. I’ll wish him luck in that regard.

I'm stunned.
Shoulda seen this coming the way Jerry kept saying no decision had been reached. Not exactly a ringing endorsement.
Yeah, that was an indicator
Why not just say he’s coming back if he is?? Should have known….

The other thing that I like about this...
…and this isn’t TO’s fault and it’s too bad he had to be the one to take the fall, but this shows that no one is protected or immune to the larger team concept. That’s the way the Giants, the Pats, the Colts, etc., run their organizations, and it is a powerful motivating factor.

I just said that above. You said it first
What does this tell the other whiners in the locker room?? We’ll get rid of ANYONE!!! F the cap hit. We will get rid of you if you’re a problem, not a solution. Sets Tony up perfectly to take this thing over. Is he man enough to do it?? We’ll see.

The dude, T.O., showed more heart and passion than Mr. Jessica Simpson ever displayed. However, there are only so many balls to go around. If only the Cowboys beleaguered signal caller could have embraced TO’s workout regimine during his two years at Valley Ranch, instead he and his mistress chose the Oprah Winfrey diet.

Eating that cap is pure lunacy.
Oh... Oh, that's giving me a clue. Yeah, ye-yeah, I've got a raging clue right now.
I was StarStruck at TBB/BSR, now...
Yes there is more dead space
but we only lose about 600,000 in cap space. So explain to me how it is lunacy and how it will affect our off season.
because we need to get an offensive weapon at least somewhat equal to T.O.'s caliber
otherwise, our offense is pretty pedestrian

Witten sure did
And I’m sure Roy will as well now that his plantar fascitis is healed and he’ll have an offseason to get his timing down with Romo.
Again Williams
Didn’t step up when he was the number one in Detroit what makes you think he will now…and I believe Witten will be keyed on more, I hope I’m wrong.
by joey7289 on Mar 4, 2009 11:46 PM CST up reply actions
He did actually
66.4 yards per game in Detroit. And that is playing with crappy QB. And he went to the Pro-bowl so he has done it at an NFL level
Agreed
One year…Sorry I’m not sold on a year. A number one should catch 1000 yards, like our previous one did for how many seasons?
by joey7289 on Mar 4, 2009 11:50 PM CST up reply actions
Roy put up 1300 yards with Kitna as his QB
and Kitna was his best QB out of all the QB’s he had in Detroit. That should tell you something.
I don't think RW2 is going to replace TO's production
There’s no doubt this is going to require a major change in the way we do things offensively. I’m very excited to see how this works out.
There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of creatures Chuck Norris has allowed to live.
We don't need Roy or anybody to be a T.O.

"If your good at something never do it for free." - The Joker
The saddest thing about Montecito Tex
is that he’s either a ’skins, eagles, or giants fan who devotes so much time and effort into tolling… the hobby of a champion.
I guess next year is a wash. we haven't done anything but sign a backup qb and cut our biggest playmaker. we don't even save any money.
holy crap jerry has lost his freaking mind. this is the stupidest move he’s made since alienating Jimmy. i Guess we are banking on 2011. wow.
Don't believe everything you think.
Your causes are cute!!!
Hmm. I disagree entirely.
Love how sports can make one person feel content and another flip out or vise versa over the same situation.
Witten
is still the best tight end in the league. Felix has the potential to be a great player. RW was the #1 on the lions…..which means he certianly should be able to be a number one for us. Crayton has proven capable as a #2/3. And Austin has loads of potential. Bennet looks like he can play.
What great changes have the giants and eagles made to improve their offense?
People are going to zone
On Witten now, they don’t consider Williams a threat, again if we run the ball a ton I’m fine, but I have a feel we’re going to see a ton of zone this year, so our tight ends won’t be half as affective. Take away Austin deep, and Witten and Bennett short.

Yeah, I misread that.
He’s still making it sound like it’s just “that easy” to take away Witten. I’ll give you RW2 because I don’t trust him but Witten was a Pro-Bowler before TO and he’ll be one after him.
There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of creatures Chuck Norris has allowed to live.
Agreed.
Witten will still do really well and TO wasn’t that good last year anyways. I don’t see too much of a dropoff on offense but it should hurt somewhat. At least it might help Romo stop forcing passes, because he always tried to force them to TO.
by Brendan Scolari on Mar 5, 2009 1:49 AM CST up reply actions
Argh.
Joey. Witten had his best two season statistical run before TO was ever on the team.
Please do some research. Your “the end is nigh” routine for our offense now that TO is gone is getting old.

I find it amazing
that jerry jones has an offseason that so far is emphasizing character and accountability, and our fans can’t believe that he isn’t spending tons of money to overpay free agents. Heck, the onyl guy hes missed out on in free agency, compared to the price imo is Leonard.
alright so i commented to my wife how i agreed with what you said about 2011 being a wash
then she told me something very important, remember the fortune cookie. Earlier this year i was having lunch with her and talking about how the Cowboys were doing nothing and how i thought they were getting worse. then i cracked my fortune cokie open and it said " your sports team will be very successful this year." guess the point is we gotta have faith.

Being an OU fan
I’ve seen Iglesias a lot, and have been impressed with his quickness. His hands looked terrific up until the national championship, where he literally handed DBs the ball, after Bradford delivered a perfect pass…twice. I’d still be thrilled to see the guy wearing a star on his helmet. We could use some quickness, and Austin is more of a straight line speed guy, so it may make sense.
Does anybody who watched the Combine know his 40 time? I’d be interested to see just how fast he is. Quick and fast aren’t always mutually exclusive.

The cowboys have plenty of fire power to be a succeful TEAM How many TOs do the steelers have? didnt they win the superbowl, and if I had my choice of our offense(without TO) vs. pitts offense, I still take ours!
Witten
Won’t be half as affective, everyone is relying so much in Roy Williams, who has yet to show he can be a reliable number one, if we’re run first, i’m fine with the move, but we’re not run first.
by joey7289 on Mar 4, 2009 11:35 PM CST up reply actions
witten was effective before to got here
he’ll be just as effective now. Ok, not just as effective, he’ll just have to accept 800 yard seasons.
he had 950 yards in 04 and 750 in 05
and hes definitely a better player now than he was then.
do you understand what the steelers have that the cowboys don't?
"To be ignorant of one’s ignorance is the malady of the ignorant."
they have an amazing defense
with a great secondary
"To be ignorant of one’s ignorance is the malady of the ignorant."
our defence was great from weeks 8-16
And if we can find a reliable safety, we have the potential to be that good every week.
they weren't the steelers defense
and our defense was great? do you remember the baltimore game?
"To be ignorant of one’s ignorance is the malady of the ignorant."
where we were solid form 3 quarters
and a couple ridiculous plays (Hamlin picking up the ball) from completley changing that game?
We outhit the steelers, giants and redskins. We outplayed THEIR defenses.
Thats what i'm worried about
I like RW2’s game but I don’t trust him yet to be the guy that can draw double teams or that can be the play maker we need.
He never beat a double team in Detroit
And he won’t run past people either…

But good WR
Make plays on bad teams, Roy Williams hardly ever did, I loved the trade, when I could see Williams one on one, Williams hardly beats double teams in Detroit, I saw him play, my cousin is a Lion fan, and told me when the trade was made it was a steal for the Lions. What has changed from then to now? He’s on the Cowboys? That makes him beat double teams?

I think he needs to step up!
Im against the T.O. move but whats done is done. I think if we are going to have a deadly passing attack next year Miles Austin elevating his game will be a big part of that.
I think Austin will be fine
should he remain healthy. He’s no TO, but he looked pretty sharp with his limited playing time last year. He at least deserves a shot.
I’m not defending the move. I’m just saying, it might not be the end of the world around these parts. Maybe they have faith in the running game to open things up for the less stellar passing game now? Surely this isn’t some spur of the moment decision. It doesn’t necessarily have to come down to Austin or Roy having to come up to TO’s level immediately.

from a lockeroom perspective
I like this move. My question is Roy ready to finally step-up and achieve what he’s capable of achieving. He has the talent to excel in this league, but he has to show it. As a Longhorn and Cowboy fan I’m rooting for him, but I need to see it.
For the team as a whole however, I do like this move. I didn’t like the attention TO brought to this team (deservedly or not).
So...
Does this mean we won’t be signing Ware to an extension this year?
F’n A, from a team standpoint I’m not that bummed, but that’s a HUGE cap hit.
Epic Fail since 1985
TO was going to make 8 and a half million anyway!!!
Its a 1 million difference!!!!! It in no way impacts resigning ware
Ah
I’m no expert when it comes to the salary cap. I stand corrected.
So…just how much money does Jerry have to play with and stay under the cap now?

Well the lynch mob
Will finally get to see what the offense will be like without T.O. He has been our most productive WR since
Irvin and he was actually more productive than Irvin. I’m not saying I would take him over Irvin, but when
you have too many unproven WRs…Patrick “hands of stone” Creyton, Miles “I can’t run full speed or I might pull
a hammy” Austin, Sam “I think I can” Hurd, the QB trying to be a WR, and I still am not sold on whether RW2 is a #1 or #2 WR. I hope everyone is ready for the down side if this blows up in our face.
Don’t throw away your popcorn, because this whole upcoming season is going to be a show…maybe we should
get some Peptal Bismol (you know the pink stuff) as a chaser for the popcorn.
We dont need another high paid WR
WE have plenty of talent around the offense, WR are not the only ones on offense
and this move does not mean this up coming year is in the Tank, we have plenty of firepower to be not only functional but excel, but this def. means more running the ball and is that not what we all want?

I checked his blog, he hasn't mentioned yet
Oh... Oh, that's giving me a clue. Yeah, ye-yeah, I've got a raging clue right now.
I was StarStruck at TBB/BSR, now...
I wish TO nothing but the best...
However, this move was inevitable, so what’s the problem that it’s this season. I think we all need to face two facts about TO. First is that he is not as divisive in the locker room as the media makes him out to be. But second, the negative attention that the media gives him and the fact that he still does react poorly in certain situations makes him too much of a combustible player to keep on a team that wants to win. I mean, for example, look at Randy Moss. When he went to the Pats, he had just as poor a reputation as TO. However, he’s been nothing but a team guy in NE and hasn’t ever said one thing or acted in any manner that gave the media more fuel to keep up their bias. TO has not done the same thing and if you want to win as a team, you need the entire team to be focussed on winning. I hate to say it (because TO is a great talent that was a great addition to our offense) but that was not going to happen for us with TO in the fold.
It’s time to move on. And for those that say “wait until we can’t do X on offense” or “wait until player X messes up and can’t do Y” just remember that every failing of our team without TO was because our offense was very much dependent on him as a player. My point is, we don’t know how these players will play when TO is not in the picture at all and their role changes. I happen to remember Crayton being a pretty good player before TO came on board. Witten too. Bennett’s also a real talent. To say that everything is going to fall apart with this guy gone is the flip side of the same coin that the media plays when they say that TO is just an awful player and teammate. It’s hyperbole, plain and simple. I understand that people will be upset about this, but c’mon guys, we’re all fans here and (besides Tex) want the best for this team. I think we’ll be different, but still very good. We still have playmakers…

This is just another punch in the stomach.
I’ve been defending Dallas and TO forever. I’m going to have to listen to this garbage from everyone for the next couple months.
The only cure is a Super Bowl.
There's no doubt we just cut one of the best receivers to ever play.
However, that just makes us similar to 2 other teams. I think the Boys are going to run the snot out of the ball next season.
which isn't necessarily the worst thing in the world
but it’s kind of scary that we just overhauled our offense like that
"To be ignorant of one’s ignorance is the malady of the ignorant."
won't be that extreme a change
We still have a better wr core than many teams in this league, and the best TE to boot.

Speaking as a Giants fan
I’m not sure whether to look at this as good news or bad.
On the one hand, your locker room chemistry just got a whole lot better. A dramatic midseason implosion no longer seems all that likely. But on the other hand, it just got a whole lot easier to game plan for our two games against Dallas.
Over the long term, this will be a net gain for Dallas. Over the short term, I’m not so sure.
I thought he just got cut??

they have a much much much better defense than the cowboys will ever have in the next 10 years. better coordinators, coaches, personnel. everything.

Terrell Eldorado Owens (pronounced /ˈtɛɹl̩/) (born December 7, 1973) is an American football free agent wide receiver who is popularly known by his initials, T.O., Owens has established himself as one of the NFL’s most productive and outspoken players.1 He played for the San Francisco 49ers, the Philadelphia Eagles, and the Dallas Cowboys. Owens played college football and basketball at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. On March 5th, 2009, Owens was released by the Dallas Cowboys.

Jerry played it smart.
He cast doubt on wether the Cowboys would cut him…he even white lied about it. He took heat in the media for not cutting him when almost everyone in the business who is not a personal friend of TO said he should and then he finally cut him after the NYG and Washington had poored a ton of money into FA.
Not too bad for a stupid owner who only plays GM on TV
hate to say I told you so..again
but I knew Jerry hadn’t made up his mind on this issue. This is best news of the off season, I’m really excited about this upcoming season now.
No more distractions, no more locker room factions, Romo doesn’t feel like he has to appease T.O., I couldn’t be happier.
Way to go Jerry! Great job. This is the change the team needed.
In Romo we Trust
if you guys think this is over you are crazy..
Our brilliant owner just got pushed into a decsion by the media and will regret it more than the galloway trade. Going into a new stadium with RWII as our #1 is a nightmare that i will have for months now. Welcome back to mediocrity on offense.. I want one person to give me a good reason why we will be fine this year… JUST ONE REASON!!
