Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens praises his quarterback, says he isn’t worried about his contract and talks about his willingness to share the ball with other receivers in an interview with Albert Breer of the Dallas Morning News.

Asked about his tearful defense of Tony Romo after the Cowboys’ playoff loss to the Giants, Owens said he has no regrets because he has so much respect for his quarterback.

“As a friend and as a person, outside being a football player, I know who Tony is,” Owens said. “Outside what I see in him as a football player, I thought they were attacking my friend, more than going after a football player. So the most natural thing for me, because I feel like he’s a brother to me, is to try to protect him. That was just the most natural thing and if I got put in that situation again, I’d probably do the same thing.”

Owens was also asked about the possibility that the Cowboys could add another star wide receiver, such as the Lions’ Roy Williams, the Cardinals Anquan Boldin or the Bengals’ Chad Johnson. And although there have been suggestions that Owens might object to sharing the featured role with one of those stars, he says he would be fine with it — just as he’s fine having more balls thrown to Terry Glenn this year, if Glenn is healthy again.

“If it’s Terry, or if it’s Roy or Anquan or Chad, I would welcome them,” Owens said. “I just want to win.”

As for his contract, the issue that led to Owens’ departure from Philadelphia, he says he’s not worried about it, even though he’s heading into the final year on his current deal.

“There was a situation where the contract didn’t work out in Philly,” Owens said. “With this, I’m going to let it play out and not try to be a distraction. I’ll let it take care of itself. I’m a firm believer that things will work out for the best.”

And with that, a lot of people in Philadelphia must be wondering, “Where was this guy three years ago?”
