Dallas Cowboys' Terrell Owens (81) and owner Jerry Jones on the sidelines late in the game against the Cincinnati Bengals during the second half of play at Texas Stadium in Irving on Sunday, October 5, 2008. The Cowboys defeated the Bengals 31-22. Terrell Owens is one of the more colorful characters in NFL history and he crossed over with the NFL's most colorful franchise for a few years during his stint with the Dallas Cowboys. Owens, who suited up for Dallas from 2006-08, authored a Hall of Fame career with 1,078 catches, 15,934 receiving yards and 153 touchdowns. He made First Team All-Pro with the Cowboys in 2007 as well. Despite some impressive production in Dallas, totaling 3,587 yards in his three campaigns with the Cowboys, it was no secret he had some tensions with owner and general manager Jerry Jones. He rehashed those tensions in a recent interview with Action Network's Kyle Odegard. "I couldn't care less about Jerry Jones," he said. "I don't concern myself with the Cowboys. The Cowboys haven't concerned themselves with me since I left there. That's speaking of Jerry Jones or anybody really from that organization. "The way things ended there with the Cowboys, I couldn't care less. I have nothing to say about them." Owens' issues with Jones and the Cowboys would presumably stem from his surprising release from the team in 2009. He has previously claimed Jones told him he wouldn't be going anywhere and was blindsided by the release. One thing is certain: If Owens' feelings about Jones and the Cowboys weren't clear already, he made sure they were this week.
