Is Terrell Owens' Contentment Vanishing?

We've seen this headline before: "Owens Frustrated with offensive, role," but it showed up again today in the local paper.

Cowboys Wide Receiver Terrell Owens talked to former Cowboys Cornerback Deion Sanders on the NFL network Thursday night. During that interview he said, "For me to have the numbers that I have and not really being involved, it is discouraging."

Owens didn't talk to the media at Valley Ranch on Friday, and said to hear the rest of the interview, "stay tuned." The NFL Network plans to air more of the interview on Sunday.

Head Coach Wade Phillips didn't seemed concerned about the latest interview with his star receiver. "Our philosophy is try to get the best players the football, and that's what we're trying to," Phillips said. "It depends on how it's preceived, sometimes a guy is trying to be honest and say the things that he believes except but it comes out a way that some people take the wrong way."

Owens has had only 40 catches for 505 yards and 6 touchdowns so far this season. His numbers have really suffered the last few weeks.

"Terrell has been exemplary as far as being a team player and wanting to win," says Phillips. "He works hard in practice and does all the right things. I don't think he's trying to do anything that will hurt the team."
