Chiefs may be interested in Owens per ESPN

Quote:
Several teams still interested in Owens?

After the initial surprise of Terrell Owens' release had worn off yesterday, many teams began the process of declaring their non-interest in the standout wide receiver. By the end of the day, half of the league's 32 teams had made public statements indicating they would not be interested in signing the star. This leaves the problem of which teams that need help at wide receiver actually do want to roll the dice with Owens. In a text message to ESPN, Owens' agent Drew Rosenhaus indicated "There are several teams that are interested in signing Terrell. I have been in negotiations with these teams. I will not identify these teams at this time. Terrell and I expect to have a deal in place by the end of next week if not sooner." ESPN's Chris Mortensen asked around to his league sources and identified just two teams that are considered a "maybe", those being the Oakland Raiders and San Francisco 49ers.
In addition to the Raiders and the Denver Broncos, who expressed interest in T.O. during his last brush with free agency, there are four other likely destinations for Owens in the AFC: the Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals, Indianapolis Colts and Kansas City Chiefs. Buffalo is in need of a complement to Lee Evans and the team has been in talks with Laveranues Coles recently. Although Owens would be a dynamic addition to the team, it's not a great fit for him, given the team's poor quarterback play and the blue collar sensibilities of the fanbase.
The Bengals are left with a hole at wide receiver after they lost out on T.J. Houshmandzadeh, and based on their silence regarding Owens there must be some internal conversations going on regarding his potential with the team. With a healthy Carson Palmer returning in 2009, the Bengals would become an instant contender with the addition of T.O., and the weekly touchdown dance oneupmanship between Owens and Chad Ocho Cinco could result in a new record for fines issued to one team for the practice.
Indianapolis has to be considered a bit of a longshot given the current strength of their receiving corps, but the team has not yet stated it won't consider Owens and we'll keep the door open until the team shuts it. That leaves the Chiefs who have been one of the most active teams in free agency so far, and made a tsunami-level splash with the controversial trade for Matt Cassel. With Tony Gonzalez chomping at the bit to play on a championship-level team, an Owens signing would certainly send the Chiefs' offense to new heights, thereby acquiescing somewhat to the demands of the Pro Bowl tight end.
In the NFC, the prospects are less enticing. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are apparently still in the running given their silence on the topic, and with a considerable margin left under the salary cap Owens might be just one of the free agents they'll target in the coming weeks. However, with a shady situation at quarterback it's unlikely T.O. would want to get involved, especially when he'll be competing with franchised wideout Antonio Bryant and tight end Kellen Winslow for passes.
The one division of teams that has remained largely silent on Owens is the NFC North. Two writers for the Chicago Tribune have expressed heated arguments both in favor of the Bears signing Owens, and against the signing. The Green Bay Packers have not yet publicly established that they're out of the Owens picture, but a poll on the website of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel seems to be swaying overwhelming against the fans being in favor of that likelihood. With Aaron Rodgers having developed a fine chemistry with Greg Jennings and Co. last season, an addition of Owens is certainly a difficult sell. Lastly, the Detroit Lions are still in the running, and while they have indicated that the offense will be built around Calvin Johnson going forward, there is no legitimate second option behind Johnson.
As the oft-mentioned cliche goes, 30 NFL teams might not be interested, but it only takes two to make a market.

They are really being stupid here. Haley wouldn't coach TO in Dallas, why would he want him here, on a younger, more impressionable team. Haley will want to have complete control of his team, and he won't want disgruntled, immature "veterans" running their mouths. I say no way does this happen.

Personally, I would be ok with them signing him for 2-3 years, having him come in and do his typically great inital season with a new team, and then looking to trade him while a good season is fresh in peoples minds instead of the 2nd or 3rd season when he always starts to stir the pot and cause trouble.

But I don't see Haley wanting anything to do with him.

Sign TO to a 1 yr hired assasin deal ( he likely only has 1 impact yr left anyhow) and pair him up w/ Steve Bono vers.2.0. The chiefs need a real good offense to help compensate for the D's likely continued growing pains to have a wild card shot this yr.

Yeah, seeing how much he loved playing along side Jason Witten, I'm sure he would adore having Tony Gonzalez take away his receptions.

I would say he could help our young WR's out but Bowe already knows how to drop balls.
