It's Jones's Bet, but Parcells Holds Cards
NT Times Select: It's Jones's Bet, but Parcells Holds Cards
http://select.nytimes.com/2006/03/20...son.html?8hpib
TIDBIT: The Cowboys' party line is that money has been the root of T.O.'s complaints in the past, notably his meager $3.5 million salary last season (he wanted to renegotiate his contract). The Cowboys suggest that the payout structure in his new contract will solve that problem.
But some believed that T.O. was the problem, not his Eagles' contract. When Reid suspended T.O. during training camp and again later, he quietly explained that he would handle it "in-house." That is Reid's style, but if Terrell Owens annoys Bill Parcells, don't expect Parcells to keep anything in-house.
If Terrell Owens whines about his contract, if he degrades Drew Bledsoe, if he disrupts the Cowboys' locker room, if he's not a better everything, he will hear about it — loud and clear.
