Ron Paul, Rick Santorum Suggest Foul Play From Romney Campaign
Ron Paul Reacts To Maine Caucus Results
The Bengals, who apparently never get tired of answering questions about their players' character issues, could be ready to dive headfirst into the Terrell Owens sweepstakes.During an interview on Sirius NFL radio, Owens' agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said that Cincinnati has reached out to the free agent wide receiver.
"Where we go from here I'm not sure but I think it's at least a positive dialogue," Rosenhaus said, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. "And we represent another great receiver on Cincinnati in Chad Ochocinco who would love to have No. 81 as his teammate. And we'll just see how that plays out. But certainly that's something that is a possibility. I guess that's about the most I can say right now."
Owens, 36, is an unrestricted free agent after the Bills opted against trying to re-sign him. Owens had just one game over 100 yards receiving for Buffalo in 2009 -- a nine-catch, 197-yard performance in a Week 11 loss to Jacksonville -- and finished with less than 1,000 total yards receiving for the first time since 2005, when he missed nine games.
T.O. also reeled in just five TD passes, his lowest mark since a four-TD campaign in 1999 with San Francisco.
He's no doubt on the tail end of his career, so it's up for debate how much he could bring to the Bengals' offense opposite Chad Ochocinco. But it's also worth wondering how a team with both Ochocinco and Owens will function, on and off the field.
Ochocinco's one of the NFL's most outspoken individuals and Cincinnati's clear No. 1 receiver. So would T.O. be able to operate not only as the Bengals' second option, but while dealing with the spotlight shining brightest on Ochocinco? Those are questions that Cincinnati will have to answer before offering a contract.
Of course, the Bengals opening up the lines of communication with Owens doesn't ensure that the situation will progress -- neither does Rosenhaus bringing that discussion to light; he may simply be trying to drive his client's value up.
If Cincinnati's hoping to find a No. 2 option to complement Ochocinco, a better -- and less controversial option -- might be to dial up Derrick Mason, who probably won't be back with Baltimore now that the Ravens have Anquan Boldin. Mason, like Owens, will want to make sure he's paid well, but Mason's shown no signs of slowing down in his veteran years.
