So the Cowboys released Terrell Owens last night. This is some exciting and hilarious news that’s sure to completely shake up the NFL. Deep down though I don’t know what to think of this whole situation. How is it going to play out for the Eagles? Are the Cowboys now a better team or a worse team without TO? Can losing one of the top 5 receivers in the league actually make Tony Romo a better quarterback, will he still be a bum or will he look even worse? Playing against TO was always a double edged sword. On the weeks when he shows up, he really shows up and it’s game over for his opposition. On weeks when he self destructs it’s almost a guaranteed W for the other team. Again, same thing for Tony Romo.

I liked knowing for the most part they were going to suck each week but I still never liked the thought of facing them. It’s definitely the uncertainty that we don’t know what kind of Cowboys team we’re going to face next year. And I just had a heart attack because now I get to wonder what the Cowboys have in mind. They can’t just drop their best WR without a backup plan and now they’re in the market for what the Eagles are always in the market for… a WR. And unlike the Eagles, they’re the team that will actually make the move. Could Anquan Boldin be in their future? That would be devastating.

On a lighter note, the non Eagles related part to this story… What’s Terrell Owens going to do now? You know for a fact that someone will take a chance on him. He’s too good to not play football somewhere however who’s going to take a chance on him after he destroyed 3 really good franchises? I highly doubt any good team would risk it but there are tons of bottom feeders that will get a steal now. They’ll sell jerseys, seats in the stands and they’ll get a WR who’s going to produce. When the Eagles took him after San Fran he only had 1 strike on him. Now it’s 3 strikes and he’s out. Rob mentioned the Patriots. Just think about that one.

UPDATE – It has been brought to my attention that the Cowboys won’t have any cap room for any move regarding Boldin or probably any other good WR so we can all rejoice.
