Dallas did'nt release TO. Romo did. TO knew he had to cry for Romo because he knew he(TO) would be the scapegoat if Romo failed. Well guess what? Romo failed. TO is gone.
News from The Associated Press (http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/F/FBN_COWBOYS_TO_CUT?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2009-03-05-17-05-16)
Owens caught more touchdown passes than any NFL receiver over the last three years and was a big part of Tony Romo's emergence from an unknown backup to a starlet-dating Pro Bowl quarterback with a $67 million contract.
The Romo-Owens relationship appeared to fray late this past season, with Owens upset about everything from game plans to pass distribution. He had 213 yards in one game, but cracked 100 yards in only one other game, the otherwise forgettable finale.
"I know it takes a lot of pressure off Romo," Hurd said. "A guy like him demands the ball and you want to get him the ball. Now he can look at all of us and see which one is open on any given play. ... I don't think that was a problem. That's just what could and might start happening."
Jones was slow to go along. Just a few weeks ago, he indicated Owens wasn't going anywhere and firmly said the idea of locker-room problems were "a figment of the result. You didn't hear about those things when we were winning."
Next year is Romo's turn if his play does'nt prove it was TO's fault. IMO

Anyone know how big of a cap hit the Cowpukes will take? Just curious.
9.5 million

No, just $12 million.
I guess he can brag like Deion Sanders who says that Daniel Snyder financed one of the wings in his mansion.

I guess the 1# receiver will be bitch ass Jason Witten. Can't stand players who are the media's darling. The last straw for Dallas, was when Jason Witten leaked to the meeting that T.O. and Roy Wiliams had a meeting with Jason Garrett about Witten and Romo fazing them out of the offense. Can't wait to play Dallas this season.

Williams will be #1 and will have a monster year if he stays healthy.
Witten is the best tight end in football and will have another monster year if healthy.
Getting rid of Owens was the best thing Dallas could have done.

Hell no, and althought I'm dead set against it ,it sounds like they would take Plax back in the fold. If anyone it will be Holt.

COWBOYS OFFICIALLY DUMP OWENS, WILLIAMS (http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/03/05/cowboys-officially-dump-owens-williams/)

The Dallas Cowboys finally have formalized the release of receiver Terrell Owenshttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://www.profootballtalk.com/category/rumor-mill/#) and safety Roy Williams.
“Terrell Owens was a very productive player who performed at a very high level for all three of his years here in Dallas,” said owner Jerry Jones. “But we have made a decision to move forward without him.
“In the aftermath of the season, we talked about change. Some of what is changing involves the process and some of it involves people.
“This is a decision that was made based upon consideration for an entire team. We will move on now with a new team — a new attitude — and into a new stadium. The evaluation process and the prospect for change will continue at every level of the organization.”
In those 105 words, Jones said plenty.
He essentially admitted that all of the stories about dissension in the locker room were true, even though he had said they’re false.
He also has acknowledged that significant change is needed. So why hasn’t he fired the head coach?
Jones’ comments contradict the notion that he has been out of touch when it comes to the state of his team. The fact that he has not engaged in sweeping change, then, reinforces our suspicion that the combination of a sagging economy and the opening of a billion-dollar stadium might have prompted Jones to avoid the cost of buying out Wade Phillipshttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://www.profootballtalk.com/category/rumor-mill/#) (and the highly-compensated Jason Garrett) and then hiring their replacements.
