Reeves thinks that T.O.'s Dallas days are numbered

by Sayre Bedinger (Columnist)

Despite spending just 48 hours with the Dallas Cowboys, Dan Reeves was a witness to some heated debate on wide receiver Terrell Owens' future with the club, according to Tim MacMahon of the Dallas Morning News' Cowboys blog.

During an appearance on the David Smoak show on KTBB, Reeves said, "I don't think you ever talk to the Cowboys without Terrell Owens coming up. I can say there are definitely some mixed feelings about T.O. Most everybody you talk to has a different opinion of him. They definitely have a decision to make as far as to what they will do about T.O., and I really don't know what that will be."

Speaking later in the day with BaD Radio on 1310 The Ticket, Reeves reiterated his point that there were mixed feelings amongst Cowboys staff on Owens, then added, "From an outsider, I certainly have an opinion. I think the more distractions that you can eliminate and get the team focused on the team and not themselves, then you've got a better chance."

If the team does get rid of T.O., that would provide some cap space to bring in Ray Lewis, who told the NFL network earlier this week, "I see Dallas as a great opportunity. It's always been America's Team. It's just a great place to play football."
