Team willing to take $9 million salary cap hit
DALLAS - The Dallas Cowboys released wide receiver Terrell Owens on Wednesday night according to a source.
Owens was informed of the decision by team officials, who said the team had decided to go in a different direction.
During the last few weeks, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was asked about the status of Owens by reporters.
Jones refused to say whether Owens would get cut but hinted two weeks ago he might keep the receiver.
Multiple sources said team officials were talking about releasing Owens for the last several days but as of Wednesday afternoon no final decision was made.
The Cowboys will take roughly a $9 million cap hit with the release of Owens.
Owens did not return a call seeking comment, nor did his agent Drew Rosenhaus.
