Terrell Owens Appears To Blame Jerry Jones For Poor Relationship With Dallas Cowboys
It's no secret that Hall of Fame wide receiver Terrell Owens had a difficult time with the Dallas Cowboys, though the feeling was mutual.
But in a new interview with Kyle Odegard of Action Network, Owens revealed that there won't be any happy reunions with the team in the foreseeable future. Owens declared that he doesn't care about the team anymore and they don't care about him.
The 52-year-old made it clear that he despises how things ended between himself and the team and he has nothing he wants to say about them anymore.
"I don't concern myself with the Cowboys," Owens said. "The Cowboys haven't concerned themselves with me since I left there. That's speaking of Jerry Jones or anybody really from that organization... The way things ended there with the Cowboys, I couldn't care less. I have nothing to say about them."
Owens vs. Dallas
That certainly seems to track with everything we heard about Owens and the team in the late-2000s. Owens was released prior to the 2009 season and was accused of being a locker room headache while also struggling to work with then-offensive coordinator Jason Garrett.
Nevertheless, Owens had no trouble putting up huge numbers on Sundays despite being in his mid-30s. Owens had over 1,000 yards and double digit touchdowns in each of his three seasons with the Cowboys.
After being released by the Cowboys, Owens spent a year with the Buffalo Bills. Despite 2009 being one of his less productive seasons, he declared that Buffalo is one of the few NFL cities that continues to embrace him with open arms.
"The Buffalo Bills have been very gracious in inviting me out and involving me in some of their community initiatives," Owens said. "I went there for a couple of games and for Thurman Thomas' jersey retirement."
Owens would play one more year with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2010 and retired after 15 NFL seasons.
He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2018 and still ranks among the most productive receivers in league history.
