IRVING, Texas (AP) -- Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones plans to pay Terrell Owens' $3 million roster bonus, which means the All-Pro wide receiver will be back for the final season of his three-year, $25 million contract.
"Yes, we are going to have Terrell back," Jones said Tuesday at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala.
Jones added that a contract extension for Owens is something he would consider "down the line."
Owens finished with 81 catches for 1,355 yards and a team-record 15 touchdown receptions.
The future of wide receiver Terry Glenn appears uncertain, Jones said. Glenn missed 15 games after arthroscopic surgery on his right knee. He'll need microfracture surgery on the knee, a procedure that typically requires a year to recover from.
"That's something I will sit down over the days ahead to talk to him about," Jones said.
KIRKLAND, Wash. (AP) -- Before Mike Holmgren decided to return for one -- and only one -- more season coaching the Seahawks, he signed a new pact.
Not with Seattle ... with his wife.
"She's making me fill out this little contract: 'Upon completion of your last game: The laundry; the garbage; the whole deal,"' Holmgren joked Tuesday when asked what he may feel like after he fulfills the final season of a two-year contract.
What if he really does want to keep coaching beyond a 17th season as a head man in the NFL? What if he wants to keep doing what he's done every football season since 1971, when he was a history teacher and assistant coach at Lincoln High School in San Francisco?
"I've made some promises," he said of Kathy, his wife of 37 years with whom he escaped last weekend to their vacation home in Arizona to contemplate retirement.
