The Facts:
Cowboys owner and GM Jerry Jones has said for the first time that he is committed to paying Owens' $3 million roster bonus, due in June. That means that Owens will remain with Dallas regardless of how the Cowboys address the position in this weekend's draft.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to ESPN's Ed Werder, Jones also said he is encouraged by Owens' recovery from two off-season surgeries to repair a torn tendon in the ring finger of his right hand and says that within the past week Owens has been able to catch passes in light throwing sessions with quarterbacks. Jones says the Cowboys have to be careful with Owens in upcoming minicamps, but they are confident that he'll be fully recovered in time for the beginning of training camp in July.
