ESPN and Fox Sports are among several outlets reporting that the Cowboys have cut Owens, who averaged 1,196 receiving yards in three seasons with the team. The Cowboys had yet to confirm the move as of 2 a.m. ET Thursday morning.
Owens' divisive effect inside the Cowboys locker room may have prompted Owens' dismissal. In December, the Cowboys had several off-field dramas as a fissure developed between Owens and QB Tony Romo.
Owens at several points during the season publicly asked for a bigger role in the offense.
"You know what he brings as far as personality and the good and bad of it all," ESPN analyst and Hall of Famer Steve Young said on the network Wednesday night. "The Cowboys seemed to have found a dance step to at least survive it.
"It's still semi-surprising that they'd actually pull the trigger."
