Terrell Owens is heading to Dallas to work with Bill Parcells and the Cowboys. The first thing that came to my mind when I read the news was Bill Parcells and Keyshawn Johnson’s relationship in New York, and Dallas. I thought hey, Keyshawn and Bill worked well together, Bill and Terrell won’t have any problems. I truly believe that Terrell is a terrific pick up by Bill Parcells and the Dallas Cowboys; this belief is coming from a New York Jets fan who wouldn’t touch Terrell Owens with a 10 foot pole.

Terrell Owens is the type of cancer that only comes out when the football team is losing, ala Keyshawn Johnson. These two guys simply want to win, that is it. If Terrell Owens wasn’t the kind of guy who only cared about the ring, I am pretty sure he would have sat out the super bowl. Owens could have easily caused more damage to himself by playing in that game, playing with an injury is the easiest way to get hurt. If Owens did somehow get re-injured, he would have never been in the position to bargain for another contract, or seek out a new deal from a new team.

Many say Terrell is the kind of guy who has had good quarterbacks and should have never complained about his situation. I don’t think Terrell has every truly played with a great PASSER. Yes Donovan Mcnabb is a great quarterback, but his actual passing ability is overrated. Mcnabb has the tendency to put the ball too low, a no-no when dealing with such a large receiver such as Terrell Owens. Jeff Garcia, please, he was a product of the system, and could never get Terrell the ball at the right time.

In the end, the contract is going to be incentive, and behavior based. If Terrell Owens becomes a problem (hard to believe with Parcells in town) he won’t cost the Cowboys all that much. They didn’t give up any players or draft picks to obtain him, and when you put those factors into account, Terrell Owens is a phenomenal risk for the Dallas Cowboys.

Let me know in the comments section if you believe Terrell Owens was the right move for the Dallas Cowboys. Also leave your thoughts on how we will perform this season for those Fantasy Football Lovers.
