The last time I saw him play he dropped 3 or 4 passes in a game and looked terrible.

That said, I wouldn't be too pissed if Reid decided to give Terrell another chance.

If this was a few years ago I'd be all for bringing him in for a look. But he's just too old and slow at this point. He's still in phenomenal shape. But I doubt he'd be able to get any separation at all from the DB's in this league now.

it's sad to think he could be a better #2 at his stage now than Baldwin or Avery

BRING HIM IN TO PLAY TIGHT END WITH BALDWIN

[ChiefAshhole20]

I am not comfortable with our WR situation. Even if it isn't T.O, I really hope they aren't done shopping for another one

[CleveSteve]

TO needs to be on a roster. KC, San Fran, NYJ (scratch that... terrible choice) heck GB could probably use him.

TO opposite Brandon Marshall would be a bad, bad day to be an NFL cornerback.

"Andy, Terrell Owens is on line two waiting for you."

"Who?"

I like how he calls it "punishment", as if teams think he would be good and just want to make him suffer for his past. The truth is that some teams might think he would be good, but also think he's just not worth the headaches that he will inevitably create. That's not punishment. It just means that everyone knows you're a jerk and it's not worth dealing with it.

Just what a new coach with a bunch of new players needs in the locker room

only if he cries in defense of Alex.

I don't see why it would be a bad thing to sign him to the vet minimum and let him compete in Training Camp. If he can't do it anymore, cut him... simple.

T.O. demands a top QB to go with his penchant to drop easy catches. He's never been happy with any QB he played with. He's a narcissist who blames others for circumstances that are equally if not completely his fault. C-A-N-C-E-R. No way Reid entertains it.
