Jerry is just getting started

Free agency has been in session and we hadn't heard anything from Jerry Jones.

I don't know about other NFL fans but this scared me. But thanks to the last couple days we can pretend that he has been here all along. Dropping Terrell Owens and Roy Williams (the safety) and  signing DT Igor Olshansky.

The media has commended Jones and the Cowboys for dropping Owens. Maybe I'm missing something but I wouldn't want to get rid of a WR of his caliber and have the chance that another contender could sign him. Over the course of three years, Owens caught 235 passes for 3,587 yards and 38 touchdowns. We all know that he was the secondary target for much of this period too.

I'm not trying to write off Roy Williams but his stats in 10 games last year are not comforting. In his time, he caught 19 passes for 198 yards and one touchdown. I understand that T.O. and Witten were ahead of him on the totem pole but I would hope that he would've showed a little more for 1st, 3rd and 6th round picks.

What was Jones thinking for releasing him this late? Popular belief is that T.O. tore the Cowboys locker room apart and just doesn't help chemistry. But I really think that its just his reputation talking. Regardless, he is gone now and I wonder why Jones didn't attempt to cut him earlier so he could go after Ray Lewis or some other bigger name free agents.

Whoever decides to take the "risk" will end up with a player with as much impact on a single side of the football as Albert Haynesworth. The Cowboys just hope that the rest of the NFC East has run out of money because god knows that their secondary couldn't cover him.
