Terrell Owens Calls Tony Romo, Jason Witten, Jason Garrett 'Snakes' from Cowboys Run

Adam WellsJan 19, 2024

Terrell Owens hasn't played in the NFL since 2010, but he still has an ax to grind against former teammates and coaches.

In response to a clip on The Pivot podcast from former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant saying he thought Tony Romo and Jason Garrett were actively trying to prevent him from getting the ball during a 2014 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, someone tagged Owens asking about previous comments he made.

Owens replied on X, formerly known as Twitter, that Romo, Garrett and Jason Witten are all "snakes."

It's unclear why Bryant assumed the Cowboys were trying to sabotage him. He had 86 targets, 50 receptions, 635 yards and six touchdowns in nine games leading up to the matchup with Jacksonville.

In the game against the Jaguars, Bryant had a team-high eight targets, 158 yards and two touchdowns. He finished the season with 1,320 yards and an NFL-high 16 touchdown receptions.

The Cowboys signed Bryant to a five-year, $70 million deal in July 2015.

Owens never met a quarterback he played with who he wasn't ready to throw under a bus. He was friends with Donovan McNabb until they were teammates on the Philadelphia Eagles, and the feud has continued ever since.

Romo seemed to be one of the few quarterbacks Owens actually liked. He tearfully defended the Cowboys signal-caller after a playoff loss to the New York Giants in January 2008.

Eleven months later, ESPN's Ed Werder reported about an "emerging internal conflict" with the Cowboys involving Owens, Romo and Witten because the star receiver was "apparently jealous" of the relationship between the quarterback and tight end.

The 2008 season was Owens' last one with the Cowboys. He had a productive year with 1,052 yards and 10 touchdowns, but Dallas missed the playoffs with a 9-7 record and he was released by the team during the offseason.

Owens said afterward that he was "blindsided" by the move because Cowboys owner Jerry Jones assured him he would remain with the team.
