Star Wide Receiver Gets the Boot

Terrell Owens will collect $9m on exit from Dallas.

The Dallas Cowboys have tired of outspoken and underachieving wide receiver Terrell Owens and cut him from the team. The 35-year-old receiver set numerous club records with the Cowboys, but last year formed an alliance with fellow wideout Roy Williams and the pair lobbied against teammates and their offensive coordinator in the midst of a run at the playoffs. It's hard to believe, but T.O.'s tenure with the Cowboys—which included an uneasy relationship with Bill Parcells, an accidental overdose, a tear filled post-playoff loss press conference, and the uprising against the coaching staff—is actually relatively tame when compared with his previous stints in Philadelphia and San Francisco.
