Why Dallas Will Not Look To Re-sign Terrell Owens


Terrell Owens is now a UFA which means unrestricted free agent. Anyone can pick him up for however much money he and his agent agree to.

Star-divide

He is an example of the joys of free agency which give hope to struggling teams looking to improve their team by going after experienced players for lucrative contracts.

According to Sports Illustrated, Cowboys wide receiver, Patrick Crayton, has stated that he would welcome the return of Terrell Owens should he come back to the Dallas Cowboys.

However, I don’t think the Cowboys will go after Terrell due to a few reasons.

A: He’s a year older and we don’t know if he’ll keep up his previous production of the past.

B: Terrell has publicly stated many unflattering comments about former teammates like how if he had had quarterbacks like Joe Montana and Steve Young throwing to him for his career, he would have numbers like Jerry Rice.

That is a subtle way of saying, ‘My QBs are not good enough to realize how open I am at all times.’

He even posted things on his twitter page, which I thought was fake at the time, but sadly, it was confirmed to be true.

His exact words when responding to a fan that had stated he was unhappy that T.O. was no longer in Dallas were: "Neither ws i, blame the OC & romo!! but i’m happy 2 b where i am but i miss the other guys tht were & r true teammates!!"

The "OC" is offensive coordinator Jason Garrett, who calls all the plays for the Cowboys. We all know who Romo is.

So, how can Dallas just welcome back a guy who has insulted the two guys that are responsible for Owens getting the ball at all?

C: We already have an accomplished receiving corp. Roy Williams is going to start next year as said by Jerry Jones, the owner and general manager of the Dallas Cowboys, and the Cowboys are paying him starting money already with a six-year contract of $54 million and along with $26 million of that guaranteed.

Throw in the fact that Miles Austin will get a new contract soon, and he is the number one guy who will get a lot of money. Throw in the fact that the Cowboys love to run the ball just as much as they do pass it, so we can’t expect this team to be Air Coryell and play with three wide receivers every down.

Despite Roy Williams’ disappointments this year, I believe that he can improve and become that big-play wide receiver we need alongside Miles Austin.

The two guys we have now are much younger, much quieter, are more of team players, and will not have reality shows in the offseason.

I love T.O. But, we can’t have him now. We’d be wasting money on an unhappy player. Dallas is a family now. Keith Brooking is the daddy on defense and Tony is taking charge on offense, and Tony doesn’t need Terrell demanding the ball every other down.

What else is there?

Terrell Owens is not coming to Dallas. The Cowboys are going to use the receivers they have now and look to a Super Bowl win next year.

Nah

Sports Illustrated wrote about a rumor, but I had been…. a bit dry dude. I needed to write something about my guys.

Also, a couple people had wanted him to come back.

Well i dont think theres any way in hell he will be coming back, i wouldnt be that opposed to it. what i really dont get is why we dont cut roy williams now that we have the chance. i know he isnt THAT bad, hes a decent threat on the goalline fade but that is nowhere near worth the money he will be soaking up with his current contract. im thinking about more than next year.

T. O.

I can’t believe anybody is considering getting T.O. back in a Cowboys uniform. We just got rid of him last year, for OBVIOUS reasons.
I can’t believe anyone has a memory THAT short either.
Even considering getting T.O. back in Dallas is CRAZY !

by peglegIII on Mar 6, 2010 9:02 PM CST reply actions  

Don't want him, never did, never will

The guy is a prime example of what’s wrong with pro sports. It’s all about ME, ME, ME. He’s a cancer and his behavior proves it.

COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More T.O. garbage!!!!!!!!!!!!! And i can tell u im a T.O. fan but i dont give a flyn flip about this guy being a Cowboy right now!!!!!!!!!!

2 b honest u guys put this year success on his removal from this team and the 2008 embarrassment on him ( but i guess ya guys forget we made the playoffs twice with him in a three year run).

When u win there team harmony and crap but when u loose i guess there is a cancer in the locker room… what a bunch of garbage!!!!!!!!

Ya claim that the cowboys r now a family? Wade preach that concept day 1 since he walk threw the doors. Naw there chemistry here now since the Cowboys made the playoffs and T.O. is gone child plz.

U really can credit the Cowboys success on JJ gettn the players attention and makin them earn there keep here!!!!!!!!

If u want to blame sum 1 4 the 2008 failure blame Stephen Jones for rippn this team apart bc of dislike of T.O. and bein a MOLE!!!!!!!!!
Tony Romo missing those games and his decline towards the end of the season didnt help the boys either… Neither did T.O. skill decline so if u want to point a finger performance wise you will need more than one finger.

Is it just me or has Roy Williams criticized Tony Romo, JG, this team more than T.O. has ever done since he was here…… I guess if you are not a star who care?

They all said

after the first few games they had no one to replace T.O. well they do now. Miles Austin stepped into that role and fills it quite nicely. They have all the WR they need who are all team players and deliver the “Romo Friendly,” offense that Jones wanted. They don’t need T.O. and they will not attempt to get him back.
