Cowboys sign Terrell Owens

IRVING, Texas — Terrell Owens has gone from stomping on the Dallas Cowboys' star logo to wearing it on his helmet.

The reviled receiver joined the Cowboys on Saturday, signing a three-year, $25 million contract to play for Jerry Jones and Bill Parcells in what promises to be an interesting combination of strong personalities. The deal includes a $5 million signing bonus, with salaries of $5 million this year, $8 million in 2007 and $7 million in 2008.

"I'm a star among stars now," a smiling Owens said.

There's no questioning his talent — Owens has consistently put up numbers the Cowboys have lacked since Michael Irvin was in the prime of his career in the mid-1990s.

1. This is gonna piss my dad off

He's been a diehard Cowboys fan his whole life, and he absolutely despises TO. I'm sure there's a lot of other Cowboys fans that probably feel the same way.

[NJ Democrats]

2. Good, this will blow up

in the Cowboys face just like it did to the Eagles. I love how TO is fucking up the Giants rivals.

[madinmaryland]

19. No, TO will make it through the year.

Jones will dump TO after a year when Parcells retires. JJ is only looking at next year.

3. does this make the 'Boys the favourites in the East now?

I was leaning towards the Skins, and I think they have the defensive edge, and we'll see what Saunders can do for the offense, but this is going to make for a pretty cool season, all around.

[NJ Democrats]

4. What about the

defending NFC East Champs, who will repeat this year?
The New York Giants!!!

[northzax]

5. does Tiki have another career year in front of him?

he'll need it.

6. this sucks. I hate Terrell Owens

7. If TO's learned anything, this will be great for the 'Boys...

If he's still the same ol' knucklehead, then good luck to Dallas.

[Midnight Rambler]

8. I think even he's smart enough to realize that this is his last shot.

Three strikes and you're out. If he screws up in Dallas, then nobody will ever sign him, and his NFL career will be over.

Now that I think about it though, TO really is a perfect fit for Dallas, considering the soap opera that team has been over the years. In a way, he was destined to be a Cowboy.

[Hobarticus]

9. Agreed. Look what a move did for Randy Moss?

The guy even SMILES on camera, now!

[LisaM]

10. It will be even more of a pleasure to root against Dallas now

Not that it isn't always fun.

[Patiod]

17. The Eagles fans are smiling now!

They know how much fun Dallas is in for. Be prepared for a media that's all-TO, all the time!

[Zech Marquis]

11. I told my co worker today

"you got him now, man..." may God have mercy on the Boys :evilgrin:

[Swede]

12. Did you hear his rap song about this.

Yeah,he's matured and learned some life lessons all right. This is gonna ruin another team.

[BOSSHOG]

13. As an Eagles fan I'm very happy with this signing

A match made in football hell. The two partys deserve each other.

[Midnight Rambler]

14. As a Cowboys fan, I have to agree

Jerry Jones is the only person crazy enough to sign TO. If the fundies down here hadn't baned gay marriage, those two would've gone to the chapel a long time ago.

[underpants]

15. As a Cowboys fan let me say this---HELL YEAH!!!

Give me that monster anyday. Yeah yeah yeah he is a problem fine be my problem and score us some TD's TO.

[Lefty48197]

16. Can't think of a team I'd rather see implode

.

[smtpgirl]

18. OH now we NFC East fans have to

deal with that trash talking asshole AGAIN, Sheesh, what a tool TO is

GO 'SKINS, even though Daniel Snyder is another TOOL
