Cowboys reportedly consider releasing T.O.
Cowboys coach Wade Phillips and owner Jerry Jones will discuss releasing wide receiver Terrell Owens as the team looks to improve chemistry in its locker room, EPSN.com is reporting.

"I think we all know that chemistry is the problem with this team more than the schemes or anything else," a Cowboys source told the website. "The big one didn't get discussed yet, but I'm sure it will and real hard."

At least two sources believe that vice president Stephen Jones will try to convince his father that Owens should be released despite the salary cap hit the team would take.

The Cowboys began the 2008 season with three players who have been suspended at one time or another by the NFL or a previous team. Of those three, Pacman Jones has been released by the team, and Tank Johnson, a free agent, is not expected to be re-signed.

"I think some people want to just cut our losses and get rid of all those guys. ... T.O., Tank, Pacman,'' a source said. "But I really think Jerry likes the thrill of trying to make it all work."

3. Well the Cowboys are in a damned if they do and damned if they don't
the loss of those three will seriously impact their talent level. On the other hand, it certainly will help their team chemistry and character. Although if the Phillie and 49er situation is any indicator the damage TO does to a team's QB does last, after he departs.

14. Actually no.
Someone in the sports forum made reference to the Cowboys being a team of punks..I would like to nominate Ray-Ray to be on the all punk team along with TO, Pacman, Tank Johnson, Plaxico Burress...

17. Keep T.O., get rid of Phillips.
One actually has some value for my team; the other--not so much. x(

18. $10 says he'll end up on the Detroit Lions or Toronto Argonauts
The Argonauts are the 'Dallas Cowboys' of the Canadian Football league. They also took Eddie George and Ricky Williams. So TO would be a perfect fit for that team.

31. He's supposed to be released sometime this spring. He'd probably
be able to back-up Jason Campbell this fall. Vick could mentor TO or vice versa!! :rofl:

29. He is NOT a team player, that's for sure.
I can't imagine any other team would want him.
