There are plenty of reasons to expect the gossip to flow from the many players in the soap opera that is the Dallas Cowboys this offseason. The fact that they may or may not be considering the release Terrell Owens being the primary reason.And Jason Garrett, hanging out at the Senior Bowl to watch prospective draft picks, only added more fuel to the fire when asked by reporters yesterday what he thought of the polarizing wide receiver.
Well, that's pleasantly awkward, if not that unsurprising. Obviously, Garrett's play-calling has come under fire since the Cowboys choked away their season in the final two weeks, and it seems pretty obvious -- to me, anyway -- that Garrett probably isn't all that fond of TO."I certainly have a lot of respect for him as a player," Garrett said. "And we'll just leave it at that."
Garrett politely ended the interview at this point, leaving a ton of room to read between the lines.
On the other hand, maybe he just feels particularly strong about Owens' on-field performance and doesn't want to let anything personal cloud that opinion. Although at this point, that seems pretty doubtful.
