Football Terrell Owens still trying to play... - Page 3

Per NFL.com today: (scary part bolded(Thankfully not much chance of it happening))

Terrell Owens has been off the NFL grid since the*Seattle Seahawks*cut him during training camp last summer.The writing certainly appears to be on the wall for the 39-year-old wide receiver,*who said last weekhe'd formally retire if he couldn't find work in 2013.Play fantasy football on NFL.comWhy play*fantasy footballanywhere else? Play the official free fantasy football game of the NFL.*Sign up today*in under two minutes.Owens still burns to play, and his best recourse is to stay in shape (never a problem for T.O.) while keeping his name in the public consciousness. And so it was that Owens rolled out of bed early on Wednesday for a morning of chatter on NFL Network's "NFL AM."Has Owens heard from another NFL team since his release from the*Seahawks?"Nothing as of right now," he said. "So I understand the process. Obviously teams are really taking a closer look in evaluating their younger players. Being a free agent, I understand that later in the months as training camp starts, they'll start looking for veterans."Though he obviously can't be choosy at this stage, Owens explained his best fit would come with a team operating a West Coast offense. He cited the*Minnesota Vikings*and*Kansas City Chiefs*as options.Owens has a good relationship with*Vikings*wide receivers coach George Stewart. The*Chiefs*are coached by*Andy Reid, for whom Owens played on the*Philadelphia Eagles.Owens still feels he's being punished for his antics earlier in his career."It's all politics," he said. "I think a lot of it has to do with my reputation, things that I've done early in my career. I'm a changed person. I'm a bit more mature than I was in years past and I think if anybody out there can look past that, and look what I can bring to the team than some of the things that happened in the past, I can look past it and maybe they could and I could go in and help a team develop some of those younger guys."It's a familiar message from Owens, who has been selling himself as a playmaker in need of an opportunity for the better part of two years now. Time is running out

I don't want him though, and we don't need him IMO.

It's not a matter of "liking" the man. It's a matter of having a deeper receiving corps. If Bowe goes out: game over.

Darckhorse0 · 06-12-2013, 07:32 PM

I would absolutely LOVE to have #81 T.O. & #82 D.bowe at the x and y. Reason being is a hungry guy like T.O. would push bowe. Bowe has NEVER had a scare or competition in camp. T.O. is faster, stronger and has better hands and just a better all around receiver.

The bowe and T.O. show would be a first real chiefs duo since carlos carson & henry marshall, carlos carson & stephone paige, jj birden & willie davis, andre' rison & derrick alexander and anybody trent green threw too nevertheless a chiefs receiving duo combination is LONG overdo.

T.O., Bowe, mccluster, gilyard, baldwin, donnie avery, jamal charles we would be a force to reckon with.

I thought the conjecture that KC would be interested because of Reid coaching Owens was pretty funny. Any team whose coach had Owens in the past would be less likely to sign him, I bet.

Good point.

We won't be signing him.

Not necessarily. If Reid had a hand in drafting him initially, he might be altruistic enough to give him a final shot in this league.

1. It would be "X and Z", the "Y" position is usually the slot/TE.
2. If T.O were to join a team, he wouldn't be challenging the number 1, he most likely would be a depth signing opposed to a starter
3. He's 39. He is most likely going to resemble how Toomer or Bobby Engram looked when they tried to have their one last run

Yeah, no.

**TimeForWasp** · 06-12-2013, 11:00 PM

I don't see a problem with bringing him in as camp fodder. Tell him he is camp fodder and see if he has the drive left to prove us wrong.

A) San Fran drafted him, not Philly (or GB)

B) The last year Reid had TO he deactivated him for most the season because he was such a problem

Mr. Sweet Daddy Hate... you should bring on that hate in this case.

Welp, I guess that ends the experiment.

IMO he has a much better chance of getting some kind of wr gig than making it as a Pro Bowler.

I found the bowling article (q I am sure) quite amusing, and further proof the guy is a total idiot.
