Ten possible landing spots for Terrell Owens
Article By mflorio.tsn on 14th July, 2010
In the first episode of the second season of The T.O. Show, free-agent receiver Terrell Owens rounds out his single year in Buffalo by apparently throwing in the towel: "I don't really think I can do the whole new team, new city. This year's just not been up to my expectations. So, mentally, I'm done."
Terrell Owens started all 16 games for the Bills last season, finishing with 55 receptions for 829 yards and only five touchdowns. But he isn't really done; T.O. has been trying diligently, to the point of desperately, to land a new gig.
To date, no dice.
He has at times blamed the media (specifically ESPN) for pointing to past words and deeds that could lead a team to be reluctant to sign him now, and T.O. has argued he did nothing to rock the boat in 2009 despite operating under inherently frustrating circumstances with the Bills. Still, no one wants him, for now.
The primary impediment could be his asking price (reportedly $5 million for the year) and his expectation that he be installed in one of the top two spots on the depth chart. Though he claims he's no longer a diva, his demands suggest otherwise.
At some point, then, he'll need to reduce his expectations. If/when he humbles himself, perhaps someone will give him another job.
So where could T.O. land for 2010? Let's explore 10 possibilities, ranked in no particular order:
Baltimore Ravens The Ravens had interest in Owens before trading for Anquan Boldin. Though it's unlikely that they'd revisit T.O. absent an injury to Boldin, Derrick Mason, or Donte' Stallworth, a torn ACL or a ruptured Achilles to any of those three players would put Baltimore instantly in play for Owens.
What about his asking price? The fact that they'll pay quarterback Marc Bugler $3.8 million to back up Joe Flacco means the Ravens wouldn't hesitate to pay T.O., if they get to the point where they need him.
