I find it ironic that Pacman Jones and Matt Jones currently have jobs, but Terrell Owens is still looking for work.

Think about that for a second. Let it marinade. Let it wash over you.

Pacman Jones is on a National Football League roster, while Terrell Owens is at home watching the 67th rerun of SportsCenter because he can’t find any takers. That’s amazing.

It’s hard to argue that T.O. hasn’t been a distraction over the years for almost every team he’s been with (the Bills last year was the only exception), but he has also never gotten into any real trouble. Not like Pacman or Matt Jones. He’s never tried to make it rain in a strip club. He’s also never been busted for drugs or has gotten into a fight with a bodyguard in a hotel bathroom.

So you can’t tell me that owners or GMs think Owens is that much of a headache not to take a chance on signing. I realize teams might not want to disrupt the chemistry in their locker rooms by bringing in a potential loudmouth like T.O., but that hasn’t stopped wide receiver-needy teams (and there’s no shortage of them every season) from acquiring him before. The fact remains that if a player is talented, some team will take a shot on him.

Now that Terrell Owens is in Buffalo, he’s putting what happened in Dallas behind him and moving on.

Just kidding – he’s making sure that everyone knows he wasn’t to blame for his release in the Big D.

Via Rotoworld:

Terrell Owens is blaming Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garrett and quarterback Tony Romo for running him out of Dallas.

Answering a fan who said he was unhappy that T.O. left Dallas, Owens tweeted: “Neither ws i, blame the OC & romo!! but i’m happy 2 b where i am but i miss the other guys tht were & r true teammates!!”

That’s pretty impressive that T.O. managed to blame both Jason Garrett (the “OC” Owens’ is referring to in his tweet) and Tony Romo in the characters allotted to send a tweet. And might I add, I think it’s great that we’ve become a nation that has found a way to shrink the written word down to only letters to convey a message. Only in today’s society can we look at “ws i” and know that the person writing the message meant “was I.” Awesome.

Getting back on topic, I wouldn’t be totally surprised if both Garrett and Romo did play a part in T.O.’s demise in Dallas. But Owens didn’t help himself by constantly trying to disrupt the chemistry in the locker room and bitching at Garrett that he wasn’t getting the ball enough. In the end, there were many factors that led to Owens getting the boot. But what’s great (and when I say great, I mean infuriating) about T.O. is that he never points the finger at himself. It’s always someone else’s fault.

Perhaps something we all overlooked when the Cowboys released wideout Terrell Owens a couple days ago is that now his agent Drew Rosenhaus is relevant again.

Rosenhaus apparently has no concerns about finding his client a job and lucky for us, he boastfully even put a time frame on T.O. being signed.

“These are several teams that are interested in signing Terrell,” Drew Rosenhaus told us Friday morning. “I have been in negotiations with these teams. I will not identify these teams at this time.”
So how quickly will this process unfold?

“Terrell and I expect to have a deal in place by the end of next week if not sooner,” Rosenhaus said.

Riiiight. I don’t doubt Rosenhaus feels that way, but it’s going to be a little tough when NFL teams are tripping over themselves to state publicly that they want nothing to do with the one-man destruction force that is T.O.

If you’re scoring at home, the Jaguars, Saints, Rams, Raiders, Chargers, Redskins, Titans, Ravens, Browns, Falcons, Vikings and Jets have all publicly stated that they want nothing to do with Owens. And when Al Davis and Daniel Snyder want nothing to do with a player, you know he’s going to have a hard time finding a job.

Rosenhaus certainly has his hands full because you know T.O. is going to want to go to a competitor. But at this point, maybe the agent should tell his client that if he wants to play, he’d take any deal that’s tossed his way. (I wrote that last sentence while laughing my ass off at the thought of Rosenhaus taking any deal offered to any of his clients.)
