Overly Generous Dramitization

Terrell Owens was released by the Dallas Cowboys last night. Because being a total foreskin gobbler to everyone around you doesn’t work when you only catch 69 balls for 1,052 yards.

“There are several decisions on our roster we have to look at,” Jones said in February. “This is the time of year we do that. I’m not trying to be trite, but as you all know we’re evaluating players in college, we’re evaluating free agents and we’re evaluating our own roster. This is an ongoing thing, not any different than this time last year.”

The Cowboys paid Owens a $12 million signing bonus just last year, included as part of a new four-year, $34 million deal. Dallas will take a roughly $9 million salary cap hit with the release of Owens.

The Raiders have expressed interest in Owens, but he can forget about landing as hefty a payday as the one he received in Dallas last year. At this rate, Owens should just hope he gets another last chance.
