07/10/2010 -
Portland, OR (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Portland Trail Blazers have signed
restricted free agent guard Wesley Matthews to an offer sheet.
Financial details were not disclosed, but a report in the Oregonian places the
pact at five years and $34 million. Matthews was relied on to start as a
rookie last season for the Jazz, averaging 9.4 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.5
assists in 24.7 minutes per game. He played in all 82 games, making 48 starts.
Matthews was an undrafted rookie out of Marquette, but proved himself further
by posting 13.2 points, 4.4 boards, 1.7 assists and 1.8 steals in starting all
10 of Utah's playoff games in 2009-10.
He averaged 37.1 minutes over the stretch and added 15 three-pointers. During
the regular season, the 23-year-old connected on 63 three-point attempts,
shooting 38.2 percent from long distance.
Utah has seven days to match the Blazers' reported offer.

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.
