Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, speaking for the first time since the release of wide receiver Terrell Owens, said the controversial player was not cut loose because of chemistry issues in the lockerroom.
The Dallas Morning News reported Jones released Owens because the team wanted Roy Williams to become the No. 1 receiving threat and the development of Miles Austin as a potential No. 2 wideout.
"I had to look at Roy Williams and the future that we have with Roy," Jones said on The Fan (105.3 FM) on Tuesday afternoon. "I'm excited about Roy, so I'd rather have him than the [three] picks we gave up for him in this draft."
Jones also said it gives quarterback Tony Romo a chance to spread the ball around to tight ends Jason Witten and Martellus Bennett and running backs Marion Barber and Felix Jones.
