It appears all the noise surrounding Terrell Owens was merely smoke. Earlier this week, Aaron Wilson of Cowboys Country reported that Pro Football Hall of Famer Terrell Owens was not only eyeing an NFL comeback, but his agent said that he had been in contact with Dallas.
Apparently, this is all news to Jerry Jones.
Speaking to The Star-Telegram before the team took on the Tennessee Titans, the Dallas Cowboys owner said, “I don’t know where that’s coming from. I have no idea. But I haven’t spoken a word to him or his agent.”
During his weekly appearance with 105.3 The Fan, Jones shut it down yet again.
“I’ve never talked to him or his agent. And I will not seriously consider it,” the longtime Dallas Cowboys owner said.
Owens last appeared in an NFL game in 2010 with the Bengals. Two years later, he would sign with the Seahawks, but got released before the regular season. It’s been 12 years and he has yet to give up on getting back into the league. In the meantime, he has played in the CFL, and appearances for two teams in Fan Controlled Football earlier this year.

Agent Gregory D.L Daniel, Esq. says that Owens is ready to play.
“Terrell is ready to contribute and play any role, big or small,” he said, via Cowboys Country. “He’s in outstanding shape. He looks no different than he did years ago. I watched him running routes full-speed with DeSean [Jackson] and he looked great. He didn’t drop a pass.
“He most recently ran a 4.5 40-yard dash, which was his warm-up. He’s a legend. We want to make history and see him break these records. If anybody can do it, it’s him. His three Ds are desire, dedication and discipline. He embodies that every day, even running hills at 3 a.m. on Christmas morning.”
The Cowboys are 12–4 and playoff-bound after Thursday’s win over the Titans.
