Looks like the 'Boys cut Keyshawn, and with the Eagles cutting T.O., do you guys think that this move will replace one disgruntled receiver with the other?

Yes. We've known for months that Jones wants him in Dallas, and now with the cutting of K.J., we know that Parcells wants him also.

I really started to like Keyshawn, he made some amazing clutch catches for Dallas this past year, but T.O. is a definite upgrade.

I'm glad the Cowboys are about to become a three-ring circus again. I was really having trouble having even a shred of respect for that franchise back when they had Eddie. It's a good things are getting back to normal.

God damn I hope that TO fucks up the entire Dallas organization and they realize how bad of a mistake they made.

Maybe some Eagles will get some payback shots on TO sometime when we play Dallas twice this year. I'd like to see Trotter or Dawkins screw up his shit bad when they play.

I just flipped through this thread and I didn't see anything about Branden Joe. Wasn't he signed by the Steelers the other day?? Maybe there is another thread...

I hope he is making it. Nice to think that the great '04 scUM game and the Alamo Bowl gave him the confidence and the buzz to get into the NFL. :)

After he scores 2-3 touchdowns in each of the two games against the Eagles. Then they will try the cheap shots...

I'm so glad we kept ramsey around last year, when there were 1st or 2nd round offers on the table. We pay him all year to ride the bench, and then get a 6th round pick for him. Brilliant work skins.

How long do you think Owens will be happy with this contract? I'll give him one year or until another receiver signs for more $$$s which ever comes first.

Owens' contract could net him record money

The contract that Terrell Owens signed with the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday provides him the opportunity to be one of the highest-paid wide receivers in NFL history over a three-year period, and the chance to earn more than he would have under his contract with the Philadelphia Eagles, ESPN.com has learned.

The three-year contract can be worth as much as $25 million if Owens plays through the deal and Dallas opts to pay him pricey roster bonuses in the springs of 2007 and 2008.
Owens, who was released by the Eagles on Tuesday, will earn a bonus of $5 million for this season and a base salary of $5 million, for total compensation of $10 million. Under his contract with the Eagles, Owens would have earned $8.52 million for 2006.
Dallas must then pay Owens a roster bonus of $3 million in March 2007 to retain him for that season, at a base salary of $5 million. There is another roster bonus of $3 million due in March 2008, and Owens has a base salary of $4 million for that year.
Under the terms of the seven-year, $49 million contract that Owens signed with Philadelphia after being traded to the Eagles in 2004, he would have earned $20.27 million for the 2006-2008 seasons. So there is the potential, should the contract with the Cowboys remain intact, for Owens to make nearly $5 million more in Dallas than he would have with the Eagles.
Compared to the contracts of other high-profile wide receivers leaguewide, Owens can earn more over a three-year period than Randy Moss of Oakland did with his recent deal, and more over two seasons than Indianapolis' Marvin Harrison did with his new contract signed two years ago.
Of course, as was the case in Philadelphia, Owens' earning potential will be tied to his performance on and off the field. Because of the roster bonus, and the exercise dates of each, the contract in Dallas could be as short as one season. Even at one year, however, the $10 million that Owens will bank is more than some skeptics felt he could garner after his tumultuous 2005 season.

And if Owens is productive, and is not a distraction, the Cowboys seem to have the wherewithal and the future salary cap space to retain him for all three seasons of the contract. Len Pasquarelli is a senior NFL writer for ESPN.com.
