NFL | Terrell Owens won't give up on comeback Tue Jul 17, 02:37 PM
Free-agent WR Terrell Owens (Seahawks) is 100 percent committed to playing in the NFL or CFL, according to Owens' agent. The 44-year-old Owens activated a 10-day clause Saturday, July 14, that forces the Edmonton Eskimos to offer him a contract or release him. 'He just loves the game and wants to get back to playing, whether it's the CFL or NFL,' his agent said.
| Footballguys view: It's been a minute since Owens played organized football. He last played in the NFL back in 2010 for the Bengals and he did get a cup of coffee with the Seattle Seahawks for about a month (but never played) in 2012. Owens last suited up for the Allen Wranglers of the Indoor Football League in 2011. He's less than a month from being enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame but still thinks he can play. We'll see if the Eskimos share that same belief. |

NFL | Terrell Owens thinks he can still play Thu Feb 20, 07:08 PM
Free-agent WR Terrell Owens (Seahawks) said he believes he can still contribute to a team at 40 years old but understands he likely will not receive any interest from teams. Owens said he does not understand how players that have off-field problems can get second chances while he does not get a second chance even though he has not had off-field issues. 'You look at some of the stuff guys are doing now, domestic violence, players killing players, just everything,' Owens said. 'You have so many guys with off-the-field problems, drug issues, alcohol problems and they're still given second chances and third chances. They're putting them in rehab and keeping them on the team. I never had those issues. It's disappointing.'
| Footballguys view: Go home T.O. - you're drunk. |

Jordan Woy, agent for free-agent WR Terrell Owens (Seahawks), said he has talked with several teams about the possibility of Owens signing with a team, but is not sure of Owens will get an opportunity to sign. Woy said Owens is in good shape and believes he can contribute to a team.
| Footballguys view: We've heard this story before and nothing came of it. Owens isn't the same player he used to be and we'll only get intrigued when a team actually signs him (or at least works him out). |

NFL | Terrell Owens waiting out the process Wed Jun 12, 01:16 PM
Free-agent WR Terrell Owens was asked on NFL Network show 'NFL AM' whether he's heard from an NFL team since his release from the Seattle Seahawks in training camp last year. '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.'

Free-agent WR Terrell Owens (Seahawks) is prepared to retire if teams remain uninterested in signing him.
| Footballguys view: Once his retirement is official the debate about his Hall of Fame credentials will begin. Owens hasn't played in the NFL since 2010 when he was with the Bengals. He was with the Seahawks last year during training camp but was released after only 20 days with the team. |

Jets | Need Terrell Owens? Thu Oct 11, 08:20 AM
Free-agent WR Terrell Owens (Seahawks) said the fact that the New York Jets are using CB Antonio Cromartie at wide receiver shows that they're desperate, and they need an experienced receiver like him. 'I've read a lot of tweets and everybody's saying that I'm desperate, I'm begging for a job,' Owens said. 'But it's not begging for a job when you know you can still play at a high level, given the opportunity. When you have a defensive back playing offense and running routes, then I think that's more desperate than my actual tweet itself.' According to Owens, teams are showing no interest because there's still a perception that he'd be a distraction in the locker room.

Seattle Seahawks WR Terrell Owens simply has not shown enough this preseason to believe he will make the final roster.

He also dropped another pass on a play that was erased by an unrelated penalty.

'And then we thought Terrell might have a chance to make an impact as well, and we worked him out, and he was phenomenal. He's right in the middle of everything, practicing hard, competing every day.'

Seahawks | Terrell Owens threatening Sidney Rice? Thu Aug 9, 08:14 AM
The addition of WR Terrell Owens to the Seattle Seahawks could threaten WR Sidney Rice's (concussion, shoulder) playing time. Owens worked as the second-team flanker in practice Wednesday, Aug. 8, which is Rice's position. Putting Owens at flanker is a sign that the Seahawks don't necessarily trust Rice to be healthy.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy owners shouldn't trust Rice to stay healthy either. He's talented but oft-injured and may have trouble getting through the year unscathed. Owens has an opportunity to make an impression and likely has a huge chip on his shoulder after sitting out of the NFL last year. |

| Footballguys view: No surprise here. Owens was out of NFL football last year due to a knee injury. It will take some time for him to get back into football shape. |

Seahawks | Actions louder than words for Terrell Owens Thu Aug 9, 07:52 AM
Seattle Seahawks WR Terrell Owens said he wants to be considered part of the team and not viewed as a center of distraction. Owens called himself a changed man. 'I think a lot of people don't probably expect me to use that word humble,' Owens said, 'but there have been a lot of moments over the last three years ... that have had me face and use that word. I don't want to sit up here and try to emphasis how much I've changed. You'll see that as these days go ... It's more about doing than talking about it.'
| Footballguys view: Owens was not a distraction at his last two NFL stops (Buffalo, Cincinnati) and we're not expecting him to be a troublemaker in Seattle. |

Seahawks | Teammate impressed with Terrell Owens Wed Aug 8, 10:10 AM
Seattle Seahawks WR Doug Baldwin thinks the addition of WR Terrell Owens will only help the team's depth at the position. 'Terrell Owens is an unbelievable talent. They brought him in because that's what Pete Carroll believes in is competition,' Baldwin said. 'He's going to come in immediately and compete for a job, and that's what we're all about here.'
| Footballguys view: Owens is not a lock to make the final roster and has an even bigger chip on his shoulder after spending last year out of football. If he plays like he did with the Bills or the Bengals he could finish the year as the best WR on the Seahawks roster. He didn't cause problems in his last two stops and we don't expect any trouble now that he's in Seattle. |

Seahawks | Carson Palmer gave Terrell Owens a good reference Wed Aug 8, 08:28 AM
Before deciding to sign WR Terrell Owens, Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll spoke with Oakland Raiders QB Carson Palmer, who played with Owens in Cincinnati in 2010, about the wide receiver's troubled relationships with quarterbacks in the past. Palmer has a high regard for Owens. 'He loved working with him, loved playing with him. He worked out with him, and knows him really well,' Carroll said. 'It was really pleasing to hear that.'
| Footballguys view: Palmer has spent a lot of time around Owens and the boisterous WR has matured a lot over the last few years. Some say this move is disastrous for the Seahawks, but we feel it's a quality football move that upgrades a weak spot on the team. If Owens is focused it could pay off for Seattle. |

Seattle Seahawks WR Terrell Owens, 38, is not a lock to make the final roster. He was brought in to compete for a spot in training camp after not seeing an NFL snap in 19 months. There is no guaranteed money in his contract.
| Footballguys view: Owens reportedly still has the speed to be a deep WR and the chip on his shoulder is big after being out of football for a year. If he makes the final roster then he could be an impact player for the Seahawks as their WRs are injury prone and largely unproven. |

Seahawks | Terrell Owens agrees to terms Mon Aug 6, 08:32 PM
The Seattle Seahawks have agreed to terms with free-agent wide receiver Terrell Owens (IFL). Terms of the deal are undisclosed.
| Footballguys view: Owens was out of the league last year due to a knee injury and now gets a shot to prove he still has what it takes. He will add to a WR corps that lacks top tier talent. Owens was not a troublemaker at his last two stops (Bengals, Bills) and shouldn't be one in Seattle either. |
Seahawks | Is Terrell Owens a good fit? Mon Aug 6, 09:55 AM
Free-agent WR Terrell Owens (Bengals) may not be a good fit with the Seattle Seahawks because of head coach Pete Carroll's preference to work with younger players, according to former player and current analyst Eric Davis. 'Pete Carroll works better with young players,' Davis said. 'He works better in a teaching mode, he works better brining the guys up the chain. I don't think T.O. is going to listen to a lot of what he says. I don't think Pete's method is going to work with him.'
| Footballguys view: Owens was not known as a trouble maker with the Bills or the Bengals. His days as a rebel might be over as he just wants a chance to play in the league again. |

Owens also trained with Carolina Panthers QB Jimmy Clausen Monday.
| Footballguys view: Owens probably won't get signed during training camp, but if a team suffers a major injury at wide receiver and has championship aspirations, he could get a look. We have little doubt that he can still physically hack it in the NFL. It's just a question of whether a team would be willing to take on the distraction/disruption of adding Owens. |

NFL | Terrell Owens wants to play in Bay Area Sat May 19, 08:58 AM
Free-agent WR Terrell Owens (Bengals) said during a radio interview that he wants to play for the San Francisco 49ers or Oakland Raiders. The Raiders in particular, according to Owens, would be a good fit. 'There's really only one team left in the Bay Area who I haven't played for that really at this point in time is a viable option and that's the Oakland Raiders,' Owens said. 'Given the opportunity if that's on their radar for me to come in and help them win some ball games and ultimately help them try to win a championship then I'll take that challenge on. I definitely feel I have a lot of football left in me. I think Carson knows that.'
| Footballguys view: The Raiders already have a jam packed WR corps with emerging young talents like Jacoby Ford, Denarius Moore, and rookie Juron Criner. The 49ers don't have room for Owens either after adding Randy Moss and Mario Manningham through free agency, and drafting A.J. Jenkins in the first-round of the draft. |

Free-agent WR Terrell Owens (Bengals) took part in offseason workouts with Oakland Raiders QB Carson Palmer, WR Darrius Heyward-Bey, TE David Ausberry and WR Eddie McGee in Southern California. Palmer said Owens' presence was good for the young receivers. 'It was great for them,' Palmer said of his young teammates. 'It was our fourth or fifth day in a row of throwing and they were tired and sore and for them to see another guy, that's not on a team, that's grinding ... I think it was a little bit of an eye-opener for them.' Palmer added he has no issues with Owens, despite rumors of such from their one season together with the Cincinnati Bengals. However, Palmer is not sure the team needs a veteran presence in the receiving corps.
| Footballguys view: The Raiders have a talented group of young WRs and may not have any room for Owens. We like players like WR Denarious Moore and rookie Juron Criner to stand out in 2012. |
