T.O. signs 1 yr. deal w/ Bengals

Terrell Owens has agreed on a one-year, $2 million deal with the Cincinnati Bengals, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter on Tuesday.

According to the source, the deal also includes another $2 million in incentives.



Owens spent last season with the Buffalo Bills. He caught 55 passes for 829 yards and hauled in five touchdowns as the Bills finished the season 6-10.



The St. Louis Rams dropped out of the bidding for Owens on Monday and a source told Schefter earlier Tuesday the New York Jets expressed interest in the 36-year old wide receiver.

With Cincinnati, Owens will team with also-controversial wide receiver Chad Ochocinco as targets for Pro Bowl quarterback Carson Palmer. In 2009, Palmer and Ochocinco helped lead a resurgent Bengals team to the AFC North title and a spot in the wild card round of the playoffs.

The Bengals also signed wideout Antonio Bryant in the offseason.

Owens was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in the third round in 1996 out of the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga. The Bengals will be his fifth team in a 14-year career, split between San Francisco, the Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys and Buffalo.

All of Owens' career stops, save Buffalo, have ended in controversy. In San Francisco, Owens ridiculed then-49ers quarterback Jeff Garcia in a magazine interview in 2004. Owens and San Francisco became embroiled in a messy divorce, with Owens claiming her could void the remainder of his contract.

The Niners claimed Owens and his agent had missed a contractual deadline and attempted to trade him to the Baltimore Ravens for a second-round pick in the 2004 draft. Owens and the NFLPA challenged the Niners' rights to deal him and eventually all parties reached a deal to send Owens to the Eagles.

After a banner first year in Philadelphia that saw the Eagles reach the Super Bowl, Owens asked the Eagles to re-do the contract he had signed just a year earlier after the trade. Owens and Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb also clashed both on the sidelines and in the media. As Owens continued to complain during the season, the team suspended Owens for four games and eventually deactivated him for the remainder of the season.

Tired of Owens' show, the Eagles released him and he signed with NFC East rival Dallas. Owens' first-season was fraught with injury and he eventually had two surgeries to repair a torn tendon in a finger on his right hand.

In 2007, Owens had a banner year, bringing in 1,355 yards and 15 TDs, but the Cowboys lost in the divisional round of the playoffs. After the loss, Owens broke down in tears in the postgame news conference defending quarterback Tony Romo. However, Owens' productivity and relationship with Romo and offensive coordinator Jason Garrett began to fray during the 2008 season and Owens was cut after the year.

Statistically though, Owens has been regarded as one of the best in the league when at the top of his game. The six-time Pro Bowler has 1,006 receptions and 14,951 yards in his NFL career. His 147 career touchdowns are the fifth-highest total in NFL history.

Owens is widely regarded as a polarizing figure, but he said in a June interview on NFL Network that his public perception may have damaged his appeal to NFL teams.

"I've heard a lot of the reasons why I'm not on a team right now," Owens told the NFL Network. "It's because people feel I've disrupted some teams, I'm a cancer -- I've heard all those things. They've said that for the last five, six years. The teams I've been on, if you ask in that locker room how I've been as a teammate and as a person, it's contradictory to what's been displayed out there."

Owens still views himself as a premier player, but some teams have a different feeling.

"You know, last year, we jumped on board with Buffalo, and that was a team that was interested in myself," Owens continued, "and I just felt like I always wanted to be where I was wanted, and Buffalo jumped at the gun at that, so I spent my year in Buffalo."

Bengals Interested In T.O.

Cincinnati Bengals president Mike Brown confirmed his team's interest in free-agent receiver Terrell Owens on Monday.


"It's up to him," Brown said of Owens, according to Bengals.com. "We are talking to him. We have some interest."

Brown made his comments before the Bengals' training camp media luncheon.

He said that quarterback Carson Palmer, who has been working with Owens in California, reported that the receiver "can still run," according to the website.

Brown said that he was impressed with Owens' attitude when the team visited with him in March.

"I found him polite, nothing that has been said about him," Brown said, according to Bengals.com. "We like him as a player."

Owens also has another strong supporter in Chad Ochocinco, his close friend and reality TV colleague. The two have helped each other promote their respective shows on VH1.

The Bengals signed free-agent receiver Antonio Bryant during the offseason but Bryant has struggled so far. That has motivated the Bengals to take another look at Owens, a team source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.


Sources have told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen that the Rams also are interested in signing Owens.

The Rams asked Owens through his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, if he would consider a serious contract proposal, even though they are not considered a playoff contender. Rosenhaus told the team Owens would definitely consider it, sources said.


A high-ranking Rams official said a formal offer for Owens could come on Monday.

The 36-year-old Owens, a six-time Pro Bowler, had a pedestrian season with the Buffalo Bills last season, catching 55 passes for 829 yards and five touchdowns.

St. Louis Rams Interested in T.O.

The St. Louis Rams have intensified discussions in hopes of signing free agent Terrell Owens, according to sources close to the player and team.



The Rams asked Owens through his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, if he would consider a serious contract proposal, even though they are not considered a playoff contender. Rosenhaus told the team Owens would definitely consider it, sources said.





A high-ranking Rams official said a formal offer for Owens could come on Monday.



The Rams believe Owens would take heat off their young wide receiver corps that includes Donnie Avery, Laurent Robinson and rookie Mardy Gilyard, as well as loosen up opposing defenses from focusing on running back Steven Jackson.



The Cincinnati Bengals, as reported by ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter, are also engaged in talks with Owens. The Bengals signed free-agent receiver Antonio Bryant during the offseason but Bryant has struggled so far. According to a team source, that has motivated the Bengals to take another look at Owens.



One source said the Rams have gotten very aggressive in their pursuit of Owens and it's possible that Owens will sign with the Rams or Bengals within the next 48 to 72 hours.



However, the Bengals still have given no indication they're ready to offer a contract. They want to get a good look at their young wide receivers and have five preseason games to do it. They need some of those guys to play special teams. Chad Ochocinco, Bryant and Owens would not be special teams-type guys, so it's uncertain how quickly the Bengals would react if they sensed he was about to sign with someone else.



Quarterback Carson Palmer is definitely pushing for Owens, however, and there is quite a bit of concern over Bryant's performance in the offseason after the Bengals signed him to a four-year, $28 million free-agent deal.


The Atlanta Falcons are among teams clearly parked on the other side of the T.O. fence.

"I don't think [we'll show an interest in Owens]," Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff said during a radio interview that included ESPN.com NFL reporter Len Pasquarelli as a guest host. "We like the guys we have. No, I don't see us doing that."
