Well we had 2 nice pieces of news coming out of Dallas Cowboys headquarters today. Jerry Jones has signed Terrell Owens to a new, 4 year contract and the NFL has cleared Pacman Jones to begin working out with the team!
In a surprise to most followers of the team, owner Jones has given T.O. a brand new contract that should keep him with the Cowboys for a few more years. Owens reportedly will receive in the neighborhood of $12.9 million as a signing bonus. This came as a surprise because Terrell still has a year left on his contract, but apparently Jones didn’t want negotiations to be a distraction during the season so he broke out his fat checkbook…again.
Other good news earlier in the day came from league headquarters. Roger Goodell announced that Pacman Jones is clear to participate in the teams’ offseason workouts, training camp and pre-season games. He did participate in the OTA workouts today, the 7th of the teams 12 scheduled. Goodell also stated that he will make a decision on Jones’ eligibility for the regular season by September 1st. So, Pacman had better be on his best behavior ALL summer!
I don’t know about you but I am excited about both of these developments. Jerry seems to be getting all his ducks in a row in preparation for the Cowboys last season at Texas Stadium and for the beginning of a new era next season when they open thier new state of the art stadium in Arlington.
