Don Banks of SI.com is just the latest reporter to chime in with speculation of the fate of Terrell Owens in Dallas.

Jay Glazer and Adam Schefter already have said that they think Owens is done, and now Banks says he’s hearing similar rumblings.

“You can’t discredit the guy’s numbers,” one Cowboys source told him this week. “He makes plays. But the game is about much more than just numbers, and the game is much more than just one person. The headaches you have to put up with catering to someone aren’t worth it.”

According to Banks, there is also another line of thinking in the organization, and that is that T.O. is just all too easy to blame.

“T.O.’s getting blamed for everything that happened here this season,” another Cowboys source told Banks. “But he’s not the problem. They want to talk about how Terrell is so disruptive in the locker room, and that’s a lie. The guy didn’t do anything this year to warrant the type of stuff you’re hearing now. There’s a faction that wants to get him out of here, and if they want to let the guy go, they should let him go.

“But if you want to be quick to run him out of here, who are you going to get in here to replace him with? Even with our No. 1 quarterback missing three games, he scored 10 touchdowns and had 1,000 yards receiving. So who’s your No. 1 receiver if he’s gone? You let him go, and say you’re 9-7 again next year. Then who are you going to blame? Who are you going to blame then?”

Sounds like T.O. was the source. Roy Williams would be the #1 guy with Owens gone, just to answer his question. He’s not as good, but if he’s focused, he is a top-flight receiver.

But anyway, it seems that the internal debate is raging in Dallas. Ultimately though, it’s Jerry Jones’ call and all these people can talk all they like. Will Jones release Owens before he’s due to cash in on his $3.1 million roster bonus?

“Jerry’s capable of putting up with him another year, but it’s a case of what’s said next?” a Cowboys source said. “What’s coming next? When you win, and he gets his numbers, things are fine [with Owens]. But if not …. with him, it’s just dealing with headaches every day. I’d say it’s all up to Jerry Jones, whether he’s back or not. But it’s tedious, having him there. It’s tedious. And it takes a toll. He’s right about some things, in that you want to get him the ball. But you can’t be worried about it all the time. You can’t throw it to him just to throw it to him. It took a toll on Tony [Romo], but he’ll never admit it.”

All eyes are on you, Jerry.
