Ta-ta T.O.


Weeks upon weeks of speculation can now be labeled as fact. The Dallas Cowboys cut wide receiver Terrell Owens late Wednesday night.


The move comes as a surprise due to weeks of Cowboys owner Jerry Jones assuring fans that the outspoken receiver would have a star on his helmet next season.


Owens production was down last year, and he made it known that he was not happy about it. Quarterback Tony Romo eyed tight end Jason Witten too many times in Owens opinion, leading to multiple alleged back door meetings with offensive coordinator Jason Garrett.


Despite being the no. 2 option in his opinion, Owens was the teams most productive wide-out, recording 69 catches and 10 touchdowns. Patrick Crayton was the next closest receiver with 39 catches.


So where does T.O. go from here?


Former Kansas City Chiefs coach Herm Edwards said on ESPN's First Take this morning that he would be a good fit for the Tennessee Titans because of the strong leadership from Jeff Fisher and veteran players. The Titans could use a receiver of Owens talent, but his personality would not be a good fit.


Maybe the Denver Broncos should make a play for him to mend fences with Jay Cutler. It would be mighty hard for Cutler to walk away from a team with Brandon Marshall and Owens as weapons.
