Where Will Terrell Owens Sign?
In case you live in a cave or under a rock, you know Terrell Owens was released by the Cowboys in a move I never would have figured would happen in a million years. In releasing Owens the Cowboys not only lose their best receiver but also take a $9 Million cap hit this season… ouch!
So where will Owens land? There are a few teams in desperate need of a receiver and thanks to his antics of past years we can cross the Eagles and 49ers off the list. At first glance the teams I can think of who would be interested in Owens would be the Jets, Giants, Jaguars, Ravens, Vikings, Patriots, Raiders and Bucs.
The Ravens were burned once by Owens when was traded from San Francisco so they are likely out and Vikings coach Brad Childress got enough of Owens’ antics in Philly so they are likely out as well. The Giants may need a replacement for Plaxico Burress but they got rid of Shockey for his treatment of Eli Manning so I dont see them making the move.
That leaves the Raiders, Jets, Patriots and Jaguars, but the Jets need to use that money for a quarterback and the Pats have holes of their own. The Raiders are a very young, inexperienced team and have some major salary issues of their own with bloated contracts and big money. I also dont know if Owens would sign with a team with a young unproven quarterback (if he can help it) so they may be out.
If I had to put money on it the receiver starved Jaguars will make a big push for Owens services, after all they left Matt Jones on the field after being busted doing coke in broad daylight, TO has never done anything nearly that bad, hes just a pain in the butt.
