Dom's Dish - No mo T O Edition
On a day of "keeping the love" and three key free agents re-signing with their 2008 teams (Manny, Kurt Warner and Ray Lewis), just past midnight the news breaks that the Cowboys have released Terrell Owens. Yes. Wow. Speechless to some extent. Who knew with all of Jerry Jones' cryptic speak about the matter the last few weeks, and with Jerry's new stadium outside Dallas, the pressure's on Romo to keep the seats full the next few seasons to pay for debt. Aside from the person, he's been one of the greatest of all time, totally dominating for about 5 years there, but obviously the head games and injuries have begun to get to him as his production has diminished. Never having been a disciplinary issue outside of the team, he has that going for him, and his work ethic...when he gets paid. He should wind up somewhere for 2009, but the question is, WHERE? Sure, plenty of teams have the salary cap space, but the draft isn't here yet - who is going to want a mid-30 year old receiver who has been in a problem in now at least 3 locker rooms? I'm sure there's some borderline contender out there willing to take a chance on him with an exorbitant 1-year contract. Denver to continue their spending spree? New England to play alongside Randy Moss and under Belichick? Kansas City to fill the seats? Oakland - will Al Davis shoot the lock off and cream his white suit? Giants - to fill the large void left by the soon to be striped Plaxico? One thing I'm almost certain of, TO will not be back in an Eagles uniform - we all know how that story ends up - pushups in a driveway in Moorestown with helicopters overhead. So the last question is, where do the Cowboys go from here? Will Roy Williams live up to the hype and draft picks? I don't care, go Eagles.
