Terrell Owens Released By Dallas Cowboys (Photos)

Terrell Owens is being released by the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys released Owens late Wednesday, according to reports. Read more below.

Rumors have swirled about the future of the controversial wide receiver after the Cowboy’s season ended with a 44-6 loss at Philadelphia that kept the Cowboys from the playoffs.

Owner Jerry Jones had said in recent weeks that he had not decided whether to keep or release Owens.

Early in February, Jerry Jones lashed out at an ESPN report that Jones’ son, Stephen, who is the team’s vice president, was lobbying his father to cut the wide receiver.

Owens signed a three-year, $25 million contract with Dallas in March 2006. He signed a new four-year, $34 million deal that included a $12 million signing bonus, in June 2008.

Owens finished the 2008 season 69 receptions for 1,052 yards and 10 touchdowns.

Terrell Owens seems to always be surrounded by controversy.

From CNN:

After Owens left the San Francisco 49ers in 2003, he insinuated in an interview with Playboy magazine that his then-quarterback, Jeff Garcia, was homosexual.

As a Philadelphia Eagle, Owens made headlines for coming back to play in Super Bowl XXX after suffering a severely sprained ankle and a fractured fibula weeks earlier. The following season, he voiced his displeasure with QB Donovan McNabb and Eagles management, which led to a four-game suspension without pay and his eventual deactivitation from the team.

In September 2006, police responded to Owens’ home after his publicist found the wide receiver unresponsive with an empty bottle of painkillers. Owens refuted reports that it was a suicide attempt and claimed a combination of painkillers and supplements made him groggy.

This past season, Owens was reportedly jealous of Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo’s relationship with tight end Jason Witten. According to published reports, Owens believed Romo and Witten held private meetings and created plays without including him.

Published reports also said Owens had issues with Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garrett’s play-calling.
