Irving, TX -- The deal includes a five (m) million-dollar signing bonus.

At today's news conference Owens said "I'm a star among stars now."

Owens was kicked off the Philadelphia Eagles in November after a number of infractions and incidents. He was officially released from his contract on Tuesday. His attitude also led to his departure in San Francisco.

Following up a question to team owner Jerry Jones about Owens' past, the receiver interjected "Jerry, I know what's expected of me. I won't let you down."

Jones didn't immediately reveal any contract details, but it was likely to include behavior-related provisions.

Agent Drew Rosenhaus says seven teams pursued Owens, "but this was the only team for Terrell."
