The Allen Wranglers cut Owens on Tuesday after the team said the former NFL wide receiver didn’t plan to play in two upcoming road games with possible playoff implications.

Owens, who signed with the team in February, receiving a six-figure salary and an ownership stake in the team will also no longer have that stake after the team terminated that for violating the terms his contract.

“It’s disappointing and unfortunate,” Owner Jon Frankel told ESPNDallas.com on Tuesday, “but [he] could no longer be tolerated by the Wrangler organization.”

Owens was also a no-show for a scheduled local children’s hospital event, which marked the end of the road for T.O. in Dallas.

“Our fans are amongst the best in the league, and it is impossible to maintain a player when even our fans notice and comment on a player’s lack of effort both on and off the field,” Frankel said in a statement released to ESPNDallas.com.
