Cowboys Cut Terrell Owens To Let Tony Romo Lead

Terrell Owens' popularity in the Cowboys locker room is precisely why he was asked to clear out his belongings. Team executive vice president Stephen Jones said Thursday that he and his father came to this conclusion: For the team's highly paid quarterback to become a truly influential leader, the big man on campus had to be jettisoned. "It's hard to take over leadership when you've got a strong personality like Terrell," Jones said. "If you look back at our old teams [from the 1990s], a lot of people would say maybe Michael [Irvin] was the leader. Then you might say, 'He was a receiver. What about Troy [Aikman]? He was the quarterback. Wasn't he the leader' And the answer is, yeah, Troy was a leader. But if Michael wasn't supportive of him, Troy would've had problems."

Pretty much

Why even give a reason? You cut him, it doesnt matter why, he's a Bill now.

Move on

A leader is a leader no matter what or who the fuck is in the locker room. Who will they cut next season if the Cowboys win one playoff game and get knocked out? What if they don't make the playoffs this season? Cut Witten? Barber?

No doubt. This would be the worst reason ever to cut a player. The QB needs to be the most popular player?

I swear to God, every week I see a headline about Jerry giving an explanation about the T.O. release. Sounds to me that he's just trying to convince himself that he did the right thing
