Terrell Owens claims that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones reneged on a personal commitment to keep him under contract. Owens also suggested that the owner's son, Stephen Jones, the executive vice-president of the team, was behind his release this month. "You hear all the speculation, and you talk to the owner of the team, and he reassures you, you're not going anywhere and then, out of left-field ... you get blindsided," Owens said in an interview with Rogers Sportsnet. Owens had signed a four-year contract extension with Dallas last summer. "I know whole-heartedly he [Jerry Jones] wanted me there," Owens said. "There were some people I know who got in his ear that pressured him to make that decision. For that, it's sad. You let two or three people conspire to get me out of the situation."
