Cowboys Release Owens

ESPN is reporting that the Dallas Cowboys have released wide receiver Terrell Owens.  The move again comes as little surprise, given Owens’ penchant for constantly whining about not getting the ball and jealousy over others.

In our view, possible suitors for Owens include the Washington Redskins, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and of course, the Oakland Raiders.  The New York Jets may also be a darkhorse candidate.

Washington is always looking to get splashy free agents in and have them flop (see Deion Sanders, Jason Taylor).  They also seem to have swung and missed in a big way with last year’s draft picks Devin Thomas and Malcom Kelly at wide receiver.

The Bucs are in desperate need of a number 1 receiver.  Michael Clayton was/is a flop, Joey Galloway is about 100-years old and Antonio Bryant needs to prove he can be reliable for more than one season.

The Raiders are still looking for a dependable receiver to team up with young quarterback Jamarcus Russell.  Ronald Curry is gone and the only worthwhile receiver on the roster is the diminutive Johnny Lee Higgins. Javon Walker and Ashley Lelie are worthless.

The Jets have released Laverneus Coles and could look for a legitimate #1 guy to put opposite Jerricho Cotchery or Brad Smith.  Jets GM Mike Tannebaum also is known for bringing in high profile free agents and New York may be the only place that’s “bigger” than Owens.

Keep checking back for updates.

By the way, I apologize about the apparant disappearance of NFL Draft content on the site.  Life got in the way (specifically Aunt Sallie Mae)–I promise I’ll start back soon. (Hey, if you keep reading the site, maybe we can make money off of this, then I can quit my jobs!)

Update: The Cowboys have also released SS Roy Williams, per Rotoworld.
