Jerry Jones denies speaking with Terrell Owens’ agent about return to Cowboys

It turns out any idea regarding Hall of Fame wide receiver Terrell Owens returning to the Dallas Cowboys at the age of 49 is as far-fetched as it sounded. 

“I don’t know where that’s coming from,” Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones told Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram before Thursday’s 27-13 victory at the Tennessee Titans. “I have no idea. But I haven’t spoken a word to him or is his agent.”

Jones also addressed the matter during an appearance on Dallas radio station 105.3 The Fan.

“I’ve never talked to him or his agent and will not seriously consider it,” Jones remarked, according to Logan Mullen of Audacy. “But I’ve never talked to him.” 

Jones offered his comments after Aaron Wilson reported for CowboysSI.com that Owens’ agent had “been in contact with the Cowboys and other NFL teams.” 

The five-time First-Team All-Pro selection last played during a meaningful NFL game as a member of the Cincinnati Bengals during the 2010 season and turned 49 on Dec. 7. 

“We’ve been in constant communication with Jerry Jones’ office over the last few days about the possibility of him returning to the Cowboys,” agent Gregory D.L Daniel, Esq. told Wilson. “Terrell is ready to contribute and play any role, big or small. He’s in outstanding shape. He looks no different than he did years ago.”
