exactly and the way the contract was structure was to protect the cowboys they only gave him a 5mill signing bonus he has 2 3 mill roster bonus 1 for 2007 and 1 for 2008 that means if TO starts pulling a TO he'll get cut and it will only cost the cowboys 3.34 in 2007 1.67 in 2008 wich is verry cap frendly.

I think is a good contract because it pays him the money he was asking to be happy wich is higher than Moss and Harrison an protects the cowboys for any stupidity he might want 2 pull.

Also we all know that if he screws it here he wont get a 4th chance, s owe just have 2 waith and see.

Yeah?

Well I was surprised to see a team stupid enough to give him a THIRD chance. Especially with that much money.

i see problems if, due to inflation next year, that some receiver somewhere gets a higher contract than him and he "outplayed" his this year.

I posted this last night on the T.O. Web Site thread:

Interesting thing is that I heard the T.O. signing was 100% Jerry Jones' idea. Parcells really wanted nothing to do with him. That dynamic will create some real tension if T.O. starts to "act up" again and Bill's hands are tied.

I really don't think Bill was on board with this signing and this might be a sign that he's still trying to swallow it. Then again, he could just be out of town on vacation.

Troy retired from Lavars hit. Emmitt needed to retire but he still wanted to play and chose to play for another team. With the cap sometimes you have to let go of franchise players who still want to play. With the way that they have structured Owens deal they can cut him next year with no cap hit. I would not want Owen's on the skins but they did a great job on his contract so if Owen's does start problems they can get rid of him. Oh, and when they fired Landry it ticked off alot of diehard Cowboy fans at the time but if you would have asked any Cowboys fans 7 or 8 years later they would say it was the right move. I'm not defending Jones but he has not done all that bad.

Great post look guys this is why I like to come and post in this site even tough we rut for different teams there are a lot of you who give excellent analysis, and feedback of each situation and see a subject as fearly minded as posible.

And you can talk football with real fact with everyones different points of view but everyone tryes to defend their own point of view with reason and not the typical ....... YEAH REDSKINS RULE, DALLAS SUCK or viceversa.

And really Jerry has done some bad moves especially with coaches, 1 trade Joey Gallowey and some draft pics but hey he also has brought 3 SB to the franchise and made a Dinasty in the time. And turn a Franchise that was bankrupt in 2 1 of the most profitable franchise in the NFL

It's like you guys everytime you get upset when the media or someone else attacks Danny and his moves and what he has done with the franchise and every time bring back his 2000 signings.

The fact is that Danny has made your franchsie the most profitable franchise in NFL has change some of his aproachs but has allways been determine 2 win and do what ever it takes, just like Jerry they're both competitors.

He has the best coachin staff money can buy seriuosly he has 3 head coaches in 1 team, he stop signing the big name old free agents and has gone for players that can help the team and play the contract he has made an art of cap manegment by making contract bakloadead after 3 years so players can be cut or restructure.

He still overpays in my book but you can't deny that the resent pickups have all work out you still question some of his metods but you can't deny that he would do what it takes 2 win.

And thats what you wnat for an owner someone thats competitive someone that tries to give your team the best chance 2 win not like Detroit, NO, thats filed with under achivers and 4 years ago I would include Cincinati and Arizona but they're both changing ways.

Parcells is the king of tough love. By not showing up, he's making a nonverbal statement of "I don't want you, you need to really impress me!"

actually don't read anything 2 it Parcell since joinning the Cowboys has NEVER attended a press conference in a introduccion of a FA signing not even Bledsoe or KJ. He just doesn't do that.

I don't know that he has never shown up at a FA signing but you are correct about Bledsoe and KJ. I saw someone asked this question on ESPN and they made the same point. If I'm correct I thought heard onESPN if Dallas cuts Owens after 06 or 07 the way his contract is set up there is no cap hit or maybe they just ment no hard cap hit. Now

I allready posted this before if he gets cut in 2007 he will count 3.34 mill to the cap that's nothing (really compered to the 12 that LaVar was going to count before he gave 4 away) and in 2008 if cut he would count 1.67 against the cap its really a cap frendly contract.

I did not realize Parcells did not attend the intro's Dboyz. It's still wierd as hell, but Parcells is his own kind of "tough love" guy, for sure. I as a Cowboy fan would be a pisseed off SOB with TO on my team. But.................I would still defend them to ouside interlopers as well (as has already been discussed). 2006 will be an interesting season in the EAST!!!!!!!!!!

From what I have heard that alot of media guys are getting emails from ticked off Dallas fans but when TO starts scoring TD's alot of those ticked off fans will become TO fans. It was like when they fired Tom L it ticked off alot of fans but after a couple of year they where saying Tom who?

You say that like someone who really believes T.O. will still BE in Dallas in a few years.
