After recently being fired from his indoor football league team, Terrell Owens finally found his way back into the NFL after being out for almost two years. Owens was signed by the Seattle Seahawks to a 1 year $1M contract. He impressed coaches by running a 4.5 40 showing he still has speed at the age of 38.
Owens has had a troubled past with the NFL. He is a notorious locker room killer creating chaos and division where ever he lands. His previous 4 stints with the 49ers, Eagles, Cowboys and Bengals all ended badly. He has been known for disparaging his coaches and teammates especially his former quarterbacks. The IFL was hoping to cash in on T.O.'s popularity, but found his lack of commitment and enthusiasm to be impossible to overcome. T.O. can be a great receiver if he can keep his mouth closed and not cause controversy. The Seahawks are in need of a veteran receiver who can provide guidance over a young squad, but what T.O. will bring to the table in the way of commitment and as an unselfish team player will only be answered over the next few weeks and months.
