Terrell Owens has departed Valley Ranch, but his former employer is still keeping track of him.
Speaking at an organized team activities session Thursday, Jerry Jones told reporters that he "reads very carefully" what Owens has been saying from Buffalo.
Asked if he was interested in Owen's recent comments, Jones said, "The answer is yes. He's credible with me."
That led to the obvious question: Is there credibility to Owen's steadfast belief that quarterback Tony Romo and offensive coordinator Jason Garrett ran him out of town?
"Of all the people on the planet that know why he's not here, it's me," said Jones.
Jones said he had a "good relationship" with Owens, but kept reiterating that he's the only one who knows the "rationale" behind the decision. Jones went on to say that Owens's assertions that Romo and Garrett were co-conspirators may have been "news to them."
Owens has been discussing his farewell from Dallas via Twitter and the media in Buffalo. Even his house-shopping has become a news story in recent days.
Jones said he sought advice from a lot of areas before making the decision to release Owens, but he reminded reporters that he was the one who pulled the trigger. He also admitted that he enjoyed all the attention that Owens received when he was with the Cowboys. And there's almost a sense that he already misses some of the drama Owens brought.
