The Facts:
While Jerry Jones expects Owens to still be with the Cowboys next season, the team owner stopped short of guaranteeing that Thursday night. Jones said he was enthusiastic about Owens' phone call to Wade Phillips. "I am, of course I am," Jones said. "We've got some decisions to make, but still, I'm enthusiastic about it."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Owens is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money. Asked to clarify if there was still a decision to be made about Owens returning, Jones said: "He's part of our team, that's what I'm saying. I don't want the play on the words to look one way or another. We are evaluating everybody, but still, my plans are for him to be back. ..." It never hurts to leave one's self a bit of wiggle room, something Jones obviously understands.
