I've also read a few rumors about a Lewis-for-Owens swap, since Jerry Jones is offering Lewis the same exact contract that T.O. has...
I say pull the trigger if there's a possibility...
It's addition by subtraction - we have too many weapons to flesh out any kind of identity in our offense, and despite what you saw last season, Roy Williams is a better raw receiver than Terrell Owens at this point in their respective careers... This would also allow the Cowboys to shed some of the "circus factor" that hindered them last season, regardless of whether T.O. was even half the cancer that ESPN made him out to be...
Plus, this still allows Owens to play for a contender and gives Flacco another veteran offensive weapon next to Mason (something they sorely lacked in the playoffs...)
Oh, and we get Ray Lewis out of the deal (who might be getting older, but he's still younger than T.O. - not to mention that his leadership & defensive abilities are a major reason why Baltimore even got to whiff the playoffs...)
