The Facts:
The Toronto Globe and Mail reports that Owens believes Cowboys owner Jerry Jones reneged on a personal commitment to keep him on contract, and suggested that the owner's son, Stephen Jones, the executive vice-president of the NFL 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.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Owens, who had signed a four-year contract extension with Dallas last summer, will instead play with the Bills on a one-year contract in the 2009 season. "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. ..." Ah. A conspiracy. Of course.
