Ticats release RB Cobourne, two others
Football Betting Lines
02/01/2012 - Hamilton, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Hamilton Tiger-Cats cut running back Avon Cobourne loose on Wednesday, along with two other players.
Cobourne helped the Montreal Alouettes to a pair of Grey Cup titles in 2009-10, and earned MVP honors in the 2009 title game. He signed with Hamilton as a free agent last February, and totaled 961 yards with eight rushing touchdowns on 202 carries, adding 50 receptions for 459 yards.
Nonetheless, Hamilton brought in Martell Mallett on Monday, a 25-year-old Arkansas-Pine Bluff product who never quite caught on with several NFL franchises.
"We spoke with Avon following the addition of Mallett to our roster to determine what course of action he would prefer. After speaking with him again today, we are granting Avon's request to be released," said Ticats vice president of football operations Bob O'Billovich. "We would like to thank Avon for his outstanding contributions to our team last season and wish him all the best in the future."
In addition, the Ticats released defensive lineman Luc Mullinder and offensive lineman Simeon Rottier. Rottier was set to become a free agent later this month but had repeatedly rebuffed the club's contract offers.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds
Will he or won't he? Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.
Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.
"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."
Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.
Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.
But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.
Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback. It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
