While the Dallas Cowboys were trying to downplay a possible rift between Terrell Owens and Jason Witten, the two nearly came to blows on Friday, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram first reported Saturday.

ESPN's Chris Mortensen, according to team sources, confirmed an incident occurred at the Cowboys training facility when Witten tried to engage Owens in a conversation about a pass route. Owens told Witten to stay away from him and called him a name. The two exchanged words before being separated.

Both players acted as if everything was fine when the media was allowed in the locker room, according to the Star-Telegram. But Owens was still upset.

The confrontation came a day after a source told ESPN that Owens believes Romo and Witten -- close friends and road roommates -- hold private meetings and create plays without including Owens.

Cowboys coach Wade Phillips held a team meeting on Friday to clear the air about the report. Afterward, he said any personality conflicts had been resolved.

"Everything is set straight as far as I'm concerned," he told The Associated Press. "I think the players, too. We'll see."

The Cowboys play host to the NFC East leading New York Giants on Sunday night.

which one do you think is out of Dallas?

 

[MapleLeaf]

TO because Witten is not the problem

witten's a premier TE whereas TO is just a cancer wherever he goes.

I dont see him going because this is the garbage JJ likes. He wants the media to see this, and he knows the name TO will sell more tickets. They'll both be there next year.

I agree with Giants about them both staying. JJ liked stuff like this, that`s why he signs people like Adam Jones, & all the other players that have had troubles with other teams, or off the field problems. He likes it because it helps sell tickets and that`s what he is all about. Putting butts in seats, no matter what the record is.

Although, I think Witten could`ve wiped TO out easily. He looks like a guy I wouldn`t want to mess with.

Witten isnt going anywhere.

 

[The Young One]

Neither one of them are going anywhere

 

[.GR]

Neither one of them are going anywhere

If one had to go, TO would be the guy.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

i hope romo gets his ### handed to him. My opponent has him as his starting QB.

 

[MapleLeaf]

TO booed

 

[Hoffa]

Who that?!?! Yeah I'm pretty sure Terrell Owens is out of Dallas HAAHHA! That's funny. Both Terrell and Jason will retire as a Cowboy, mock my words kids.

Ah, they're not going anywhere. I loved how TO answered the questions last night, especially about Ed Werder.. 'I don't know where he got his information, but it's a lie. They say we went to blows, I don't understand where that came from either.'
