Late Wedensday night, the marriage between Jerry Jones' Dallas Cowboys and out-spoken wide receiver, Terrell Owens, ended.After 3 semi-productive seasons, the Cowboys released Owen's due to internal issues.
Owens, known for his big mouth and negative effect on a locker room, was disrupting off the field more than he was producing on the field.
His comments this year towards quarterback Tony Romo weren't the first of that kind. He was let go in both San Francisco and Philadelphia for publicly critizing Jeff Garcia and Donovan McNabb, respectively.
Owens' agent, Drew Rosenhaus, has proclaimed that several teams are interested in his client. This hard to believe, however, when you conisider both Owens' and Rosenhaus' reputations. Most experts calculate that there are about 3 possibilties for him to land. The most likely of which would be the Oakland Raiders, whom have never turned down a great talent based on their attitude. Perhaps that's why they've had the worst collective record the past 5 seasons.
The Cowboys absolutely did the right thing by releasing T.O. He was disrupting the already torn locker room and was critical in their bomb of a 2008 season. The team now belongs to Tony Romo who is supposedly going to return the Cowboys to their former glory. I pray that the Bears stay away from Owens.
