Wonder what the cap hit will be

He was starting to show a little mileage on the tires, and was always good for creating distractions on a team, so I'm sorry to see the guy leave the Cowboys (I'm a Giants fan )

Agreed. He had an off-year last season and he's now 35.....it should be interesting to see where he goes next.

Somewhere with a decent QB that needs a receiver. I'm thinking Philly...errr...uhh...nevermind.

I believe I read/heard the hit will be $9M but I could be wrong.

As a Cowboys fan, I'm thrilled to see him go ... good bye and good riddance!

[LongLiveBernie51!]

Addition by subtraction.

[JfromJersey]

Just amazing a guy with that much talent wears out his welcome wherever he goes.

[RYMASTER or Ryan_Yankees]

I asked my Cowboys fan friend about this just now. His reply was, "I never liked him."

[YanksFan1992]

As much as a clubhouse cancer as he was, this still is a blow to the Cowboys, which is good news in my book.

Exactly, even though he is starting to decline, he still commands double coverage, which Witten greatly benefited from.

[StatenIslandYankee]

Wonder where he will wind up

[BroadwayBomber55]

My guess will be the Oakland Raiders.

[philleotardo]

I think Dan Snyder is dumb enough.

[DaSh 1s]

Roy Williams must be happy.

[Yankees1962]

New York Giants!

[CptCrunch]

Roy Williams must be happy.

Depends on which one.

[161 and River Ave.]

As a Giants fan I am extremely happy to hear this. The offense would have been very tough with Roy E Williams getting in a full off season and training camp. Owens is a problem, but I don't think he is THE problem. The fish rots from the head...Jones, Wade, and Garret. Players like Adam Jones, Tank Johnson, Newman, Romo, Wittten, and Williams were part of the circus as well.

I'm sure Cowboy fans would have loved to see Romo get in Owens face once. Roy E Williams is not even in T.O's ballpark as a WR threat, the rest of the NFC is certainly happy.

Agreed. The problem with the Cowboys is institutional, not just T.O. They're going to be much easier to defend against now.

[cupcollector99]

This is tailor made for a Snyder/Cerrato signing in DC..

TO shows up in running pants, tank top and glasses and Rosenhaus talks about how he needs a new start and wants to prove his critics wrong.

[West Texas]

I liked him and the Cowboys will feel the sting of his absence on the playing field. How much of a distraction was he? I don't really know, but I am a little shocked by the move.
OK, Romo, you better make me happy this season.

[DontHateOnNumber2]

I see him hitting the Raiders or Bucs. Hell....maybe the Eagles if they're feeling stupid enough. They have SOME cap space after losing pretty much the whole damned secondary. And Donovan needs a receiver.....I don't know though.

[TEPLimey]

Which team is in worse shape between the Cowboys and Redskins? These two are both run by monkeys.

[JWHIII]

I think Indy could manage Owens, a QB with Manning's status may help keep his bs in line.

[DaSh 1s]

Why the hell would Indy want TO, when you have Wayne emerging as a big time player, and Anthony Gonzalez is a great complimentary piece. There is no way I would put Owens between those two recievers. Why take passes away from Wayne and give them to Owens?

[ruthianblast]

Eff it; go to the Bills. They're going nowhere without TO, with TO they might have a chance. No wait; Dick Jauron still coaching? Damn.
