The Cowboys part ways Terrell Owens
The Dallas Cowboys have parted ways with Terrell Owens, the diva WR and locker-room cancer.
From a salary-cap perspective, cutting T.O. is actually more expensive ($9.675 million) than if he played in Big D ($8.995 million) in 2009.
As you may have already known (if you're one of the 5 readers of The Daily Blitz), you know that I have supported the move to cut Owens.
Owens, the 49ers 3rd-round pick in 1996, was undoubtedly productive on the field. In his 3 years in Dallas, Owens had 3 1,000-yard seasons and scored 38 receiving TDs. Although he certainly dropped his share of balls, no NFL WR caught as many TD passes during T.O.'s tenure in Dallas.
Despite his on-field productivity, he was equally counter-productive in the locker room. T.O. was a disruptive and dividing force in the locker room.
As a Cowboys fan, I care much less about where he will go than I do about where he won't be (Dallas) in 2009. But if you want to see a full list of places that have officially rejected of the notion of T.O. playing in their city, check out PFT's The Anti-T.O. List.
