Yesterday, Jerry Jones again let it be known that he has no plans of getting rid of Terrell Owens.
Jones didn’t come out and say those words, he communicated that message without saying it.
He was doing a news conference to make an announcement about country artist George Strait agreeing to do a concert at the team’s new stadium.
He didn’t get questions about Strait, but he got a lot of questions about Owens. Jones didn’t do a good job of hiding how he felt about all the talk about the Cowboys getting rid of T.O.
“You and I both know that the one that you’re asking about all the time, if I gave you the answer that you want to hear, then you would’ve already had it,” Jones said. “So the fact you don’t have it ought to tell you something. It really should.”
I’ve said over and over again that Jones will not get rid of Owens while knowing that he’s got a 100,000 thousand seat stadium to fill in the fall.
“We’re evaluating our entire roster,” he said. “There are several decisions on our roster we have to look at. This is the time of year we do that. I’m not trying to be trite, but as you all know we’re evaluating players in college, we’re evaluating free agents and we’re evaluating our own roster.
Jones went off on the media members who keep stressing the problems the Cowboys have in their lockeroom.
"They are a figment of the result," Jones said of chemistry concerns. "You didn't hear about those kinds of things when we were winning. You hear about those kinds of things when you're losing. …
"If y'all [the media] knew more about some of the things you write about, you wouldn't be as concerned."
I think this lockeroom issue is the real reason that former Broncos head coach Dan Reeves was brought on as a consultant.
