Terrell Owens, the controversial receiver with Hall of Fame credentials who recently signed a one-year contract with the Cincinnati Bengals, said he was "prematurely let go" after three seasons with the Dallas Cowboys. He's convinced that Dallas owner/general manager Jerry Jones didn't really want to release him in the spring of 2009, but Owens declined to discuss what he perceives to be the real reasons behind the decision. "A lot of people know what happened," Owens said Sunday morning. "It was a tough decision for Jerry. I think if Jerry had the ultimate decision, then I would be there. By no means do I feel that I left that team because of talent. Obviously, there have to be some other factors. Other than that, I feel confident about myself and what I can still do on the football field even at the age of 36." Owens refused to reveal Sunday who he thought influenced Jones to make the decision to release him, saying he'd been down that road before. He said he's bothered by the perception that his presence was disruptive in the Cowboys' locker room, saying the situation was blown out of proportion. "There's no turning back or going back or redoing anything," Owens said Sunday of his tenure with the Cowboys, when he caught 235 passes for 3,587 yards and 38 touchdowns in three seasons. "Again, I still stand by the things that I said and what was done. I know that honestly it wasn't my fault." Source: ESPN Dallas
I don't hate T. O. I just think that there comes a time when a person needs to accept responsibility for his own actions and behavior, and he has not done that yet.
Some reason I keep envisioning Cincy reporters in an old firehouse, pole & all, waiting for the bell with T.O. & Cinco together. On call 24/7...:icon_smile:
Great. Now that Ocho Uno is back in the NFL every single week we will have to hear his butt going on about something.
Why does he keep harping on those olden times with the Cowboys. Remember your glory days as a Buffalo Bill.
Your strange man love for TO both confuses and concerns me. TO never took blame for anything, and I doubt he ever will.
i really dont care for him but i dont dislike him and i think he is right i think Stephen jones was the one that headed that up and got JJ to release him other than that i dont care he aint a cowboy no more
If T.O. was still here last year Miles Austin wouldn't have had that break out season....Jerry did the right thing by cutting hin loose and moving on.
