Dallas Cowboys Tickets - Team Tiring of TO?

The Dallas Cowboys have recently gained the reputation as the catch-all for all of the league's lawless misfits, but that could be changing soon. Dallas was the one team that would take changes on the likes of Adam "Pacman" Jones, Tank Johnson and, of course, Terrell Owens. Dallas may be looking to turn over a new leaf, however, since they recently announced the release of Jones. Jones had numerous problems with the law prior to coming to Dallas and later once he arrived. Another player who is no stranger to trouble and suspensions is Owens. After Jones was released, it started speculation that Owens' future with the Cowboys was also in question. More than talent, locker room peace may be at the top of the Cowboys' concerns.

Terrell Owens was drafted in the third round of the 1996 NFL draft by the San Francisco 49ers as the 98th overall pick. That first year, there was little indication of the drama that was to come, but lots of displays of Owens top talent. He started 10 out of 16 games and had 35 receptions for 520 yards and four touchdowns. The next season, he started all but one game and had 60 receptions, 936 yards and eight touchdowns. He was proving he was one of the league's top receivers by 1998 with 10 starts, 67 receptions, 1,097 yards and 14 touchdowns. The 1999 season was similar, but Owens was starting to show his trademark attitude with his touchdown celebrations. 2000 marked Owens' first Pro Bowl invite as he had 97 receptions, 1,451 yards and 13 touchdowns. He made the Pro Bowl again in 2001 and 2002. The Niners didn't have quite as great of a season in 2003, and the tensions with Owens were starting to come to a head, including Owens speaking out against quarterback Jeff Garcia.

The Niners had enough of Owens, as did he with the Niners, and Owens signed a deal with the Philadelphia Eagles. His first year with the Eagles, he started in 4 games and had 77 receptions, 1,200 yards and 14 touchdowns. An injury took him out of part of the season, but Owens continued to produce. In 2005, he played in seven games and had 47 receptions, 763 yards and six touchdowns. It was not his on-field antics that had people talking, however, Owens was displeased with his contract with the Eagles, and also spoke out against the performance of Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb. The Eagles chose to suspend him during the season, and Owens signed with the Cowboys in the offseason.

Owens did well right away for the Cowboys. In 2006, he started all but one game for 81 receptions, 1,180 yards and 13 touchdowns. The 2007 season was even better for Owens as he had 81 receptions for 1,355 yards and 15 touchdowns. His cracks were starting to show, however, as Owens was frequently in the news for comments he made. 2008 was no different. He had 69 receptions, 1052 yards and 10 touchdowns, but the real story was his comments about quarterback Tony Romo. The drama has led to a discussion by the coaches and owner Jerry Jones, but few are surprised that Owens picked a fight with his quarterback, considering his past.
