Why terrell owens was released




















No, the truth is something you have no idea about. The real truth resides with the only member of the Cowboys staff allowed to speak to reporters : Jerry Jones. Jerry Jones released Terrell Owens because he's having trouble selling his new stadium. Not enough seats and advertising have been sold, so Jerry created a popular controversy to get the Cowboys back in the news. The Terrell Owens Experience had reached the tipping point. So many Cowboys fans have decided that they will no longer spend money to watch a player they can't stand.

Owens finished the season 69 receptions for 1, yards and 10 touchdowns. In Owens' three seasons with the team, the Cowboys went , but in the playoffs. While Owens has produced solid numbers on the field, his career has been plagued with controversy. After Owens left the San Francisco 49ers in , he insinuated in an interview with Playboy magazine that his then-quarterback, Jeff Garcia, was homosexual. As a Philadelphia Eagle, Owens made headlines for coming back to play in Super Bowl XXX after suffering a severely sprained ankle and a fractured fibula weeks earlier.

The following season, he voiced his displeasure with QB Donovan McNabb and Eagles management, which led to a four-game suspension without pay and his eventual deactivitation from the team.

In September , police responded to Owens' home after his publicist found the wide receiver unresponsive with an empty bottle of painkillers. Owens refuted reports that it was a suicide attempt and claimed a combination of painkillers and supplements made him groggy.

The Cowboys still should have a potent passing game, at least if receiver Roy Williams can live up to his big contract and the two draft picks Dallas gave up to get him from Detroit. Romo also still has his favorite target in Witten. In his three years with the Cowboys, Owens caught passes for 3, yards and 38 touchdowns in 47 games.

He led the NFL with 13 touchdowns receiving in , his first season in Dallas. In his year career, he's a five-time All-Pro and ranks second in career touchdowns, fifth in career yards receiving and sixth in career receptions.

He turned 35 in December, but remains a physical specimen. Skip to main content Skip to navigation. Sources: Cowboys cut receiver Owens. Dallas Cowboys.
