What Do the Cowboys Do With T.O. After His Contract Expires in 2008?



Remember how Terrell Owens ended up in Dallas, right? Or before that, Philly? Yep, straight cash, homey. T.O. told the Ravens, who had traded for him back in 2005 to go take a flying leap, he ended up with the Eagles playing for less money than he probably deserved (blame his agent for that one), and when he wanted to renegotiate, things got ugly.

The Cowboys took a chance on Owens last off-season, when everybody just assumed EVIL T.O. would torpedo any chances Dallas had to be competitive. Never happened. In fact, Owens has been the model teammate, and not only that, he's having another solid season.

But he's 34 with only one more year on his contract. Owens is scheduled to make $7 million in '08, but what happens after that? Do the Cowboys bring him back? Does another team throw gobs of cash at a 35-year-old, 13-year vet?
"I don't want to speculate on what happens after this contract," executive vice president Stephen Jones said, "but Terrell is a very driven guy, a very disciplined guy. Right now he's enjoying playing the game and enjoying being around this team. If things continue where we're having success, I'm sure there might be something down the road."

Hmm, that is a tough call. Who knows what kind of production he'll be capable of at 35.

Well sign him up again, of course.
I think this is premature. Have to see what happens next year. He probably is at the height of his career, but who knows.

Jerry Rice was productive at that age, and TO keeps himself terribly fit... I think he will not slow down til he is 38 at least.

If he don't retire, I would guess they would give him whatever he wants. They seem to have room in there salary cap not giving romo much, well a lot to us but compared to other QB's (peyton,brady,vick).
