Stephen jones on cutting owens: “you can’t point to one reason”

BasX · Mar 11, 2009

During a speech Tuesday night at the University of Texas-Arlington, Dallas Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones acknowledged that the decision to cut ties with wide receiver Terrell Owens was a difficult one for his father, Jerry Jones, to make.

“You can’t point to one reason,” said Stephen Jones, per Mac Engel of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “You take the whole picture and make the decision. It’s [salary] cap. It’s health. It’s age. His production. It’s everything.”

When asked if the Cowboys had erred in signing Owens, who was signed by the Buffalo Bills last week, Jones said the team has no regrets.

“We won a lot of games with him,” Jones said.

Meanwhile, Jones said that the Cowboys tried, but were unable to find a trading partner for safety Roy Williams. He was cut last week.

“With what we are trying to do with our safeties, he didn’t fit,” Jones said.

The Cowboys remain in negotiations with All-Pro outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware, but no deal is apparently imminent.

“I’m terrible on speculating on when things will get done,” Jones said.
