Source: Dallas Cowboys release Terrell Owens 08:13 AM CST on Thursday, March 5, 2009By CALVIN WATKINS and TODD ARCHER / The Dallas Morning Newscwatkins@dallasnews.com | tarcher@dallasnews.com IRVING -- Wide receiver Terrell Owens, whose future with the Dallas Cowboys has been in question since the off-season began, was cut late Wednesday night, according to a source. Owner and general manager Jerry Jones hinted at Owens' return at a news conference two weeks ago but never definitively said Owens would be back for the 2009 season. Last week at the NFL scouting combine, Jones said the media caught his "drift" about Owens' return but did not elaborate. Efforts to reach the Cowboys for comment were unsuccessful late Wednesday night. Owens was unable to be reached, and his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, did not return phone calls or e-mail. A spokesman for Owens told The Associated Press said he hadn't heard the news, originally reported by ESPN. The Cowboys signed Owens to a $34 million extension last June that included a $12.9 million signing bonus, but they have decided to move on. Originally signed by the Cowboys in 2006 after a much-publicized release from Philadelphia, Owens caught 235 passes for 3,587 yards and 38 touchdowns in three seasons with the Cowboys. In 2007, Owens set the franchise record with 15 touchdown catches. Since 2006, no wide receiver and quarterback have connected for more touchdowns than Owens and Tony Romo (34) But in 2008, Owens was limited to 69 catches for 1,052 yards, his lowest total in a full season since 1999. Owens, 35, had eight games with fewer than 40 yards receiving and had six games with three or fewer catches. His brightest spot was a seven-catch, 213-yard outing against San Francisco in which he caught a 75-yard touchdown pass. A lightning rod for his entire career from San Francisco to Philadelphia to Dallas, Owens caused a stir last season when he questioned offensive coordinator Jason Garrett's playcalling. Owens and receivers Patrick Crayton and Roy Williams had a meeting with Garrett later in the season reportedly because Owens was jealous of the relationship between Romo and tight end Jason Witten. Ever since, however, Owens was at the center of a debate involving team chemistry. Romo and Witten remained largely silent on the subject during the season and early into this off-season. Jones has repeatedly said this off-season he does not believe a lack of chemistry played a part in the team's disappointing 9-7 finish that left them as playoff spectators. Owens, originally scheduled to count $8.995 million against the 2009 salary cap, instead will cost the Cowboys $9.67 million in 2009. The Cowboys traded for Williams last season, but he finished with only 19 catches for 198 yards and a touchdown in 10 games after arriving from Detroit. Williams has been working out at Valley Ranch this week, well in advance of the official beginning of the off-season conditioning program on March 30. The Cowboys also have receivers Crayton, Miles Austin, Sam Hurd and Isaiah Stanback on the roster but could look for more help in free agency and the draft.

If I am reading the data correctly, things seem to be getting worse for the pound. About .7 pounds to the dollar right now and was .68 pounds to the dollar at the beginning of the year(roughly). Help me out.
