IRVING, Texas (AP) -Dallas Cowboys receiver Sam Hurd says Terrell Owens sent him a text message late Wednesday, saying he had been cut by the team.
“He didn’t give me an explanation. He just said, `Wow,”’ Hurd said Thursday. “I really didn’t believe that he seen that coming.”
Hurd said Owens’ reaction was “more shock than anger.”
“He said it’s tough, but it’s a business,” Hurd said.
Team owner Jerry Jones indicated a few weeks ago that T.O. was going to remain in Dallas, where he’s had three straight 1,000-yard seasons. Jones’ abrupt reversal was first reported Wednesday night by ESPN.
The Cowboys reportedly made another, more-expected move Thursday by releasing safety Roy Williams.
The team had no comment on either move.
