Dallas Cuts DT Tank Johnson, WR Terrell Owens, S Roy Williams and CB Adam Jones.

And those are just the cuts. Dallas released Williams and Owens at the same time, announcing it on Thursday. The cut of Owens is now costing Dallas $9 million against the cap, which makes me wonder why there was no slight attempt to trade Owens.

After all, Dallas currently does NOT have a first-round pick in this year's draft and Owens, who is currently sitting at sixth place on all-time receptions and second place in touchdowns (only second to Jerry Rice) has to be worth something, right?

I have heard Owens get a lot of trash talk lately after this release which really makes me wonder... How can a very productive player (the best wide receiver Dallas has had since Michael Irvin) be a distraction to an entire team that doesn't play with heart? If a team doesn't play to win, shouldn't it be the entire team's fault?

Owens is far from even slowing down in his career, lighting up good numbers EVERY year with every team he has played on (something Randy Moss could never say) and it will be interesting who he plays for this coming season. Just hopefully they don't play Dallas so he wont light them up with four touchdowns like he did to Washington or 200+ yards like he did to San Fran.

Cowboys trade CB Anthony Henry to Detroit for QB Jon Kitna.

In Dallas' sole trade so far this year they have traded their second CB Henry to the Lions to obtain a back-up QB in Jon Kitna. This leaves a ton of weight on the shoulders of newcomers Orlando Scandrick and Mike Jenkins for next year if another proven CB is acquired. On the bright side, Dallas now has a back-up QB who can throw the ball more than three yards out.

Chris Canty signs with division rival NYG.

Although he was the LB who wasn't the most coveted, Canty did still makes plays from time to time. His numbers weren't amazing but he was still a piece to the good linebacker corps that Dallas has and now he will be adding to the good linebacker group that New York has.

After all of this, the Cowboys have lost big names and big productive players. They have gained one QB who's team went 0-16, a back-up QB. Things they need are WR, S, CB, OL... All of those positions can wait because they really needed that back-up QB.

^Sarcasm on that last sentence.
