Would You Take T.O?

That is the question on the minds of many teams heading into NFL training camp. Would you want your team to take a risk on Terrell Owens for a year? It really depends on your current wide receiver corp and the willingness of your QB to play with him. While he is rumored to only be going to the Bengals at this point, let's take a look around the league to see who should be looking at this all-timer.

- The Cincinnati Bengals- The leaders in the clubhouse, both of their stars want TO to put on the stripes. If you have Carson Palmer's approval, then you should go ahead and make the move. The Bengals' window isn't open for that long.

- The Washington Redskins- I know. Donovan McNabb is our QB. But look at our wideouts. A possibly suspended Santana Moss. Devin Thomas. Malcolm Kelly. 3 over-the-hill running backs. They need some kind of playmaker, and that could be TO. Look for the Skins to draft RB or WR this upcoming year, by the way.

- The Seattle Seahawks- They have a lot of injuries, apparently. TJ Whose-your-mamma is dinged up, Golden Tate is young, Deion Branch is no good. Why not take a stab on TO?

- The Oakland Raiders- Need I say more? Jason Campbell would love having a consistent WR on his team for once.

- The New England Patriots- Revitalized the career of one malcontent WR in Randy Moss. I bet that they could do the same for TO.

- The Cleveland Browns, The Tennessee Titans, The Jacksonville Jaguars, The Denver Broncos, The Chicago Bears, The Detroit Lions, and The St. Louis Rams- Name the top 3 receivers on each team... I rest my case.

Obviously, there will be a question of how happy TO will be with whatever team he ends up with. But at 36, maybe he is finally starting to mature and think about his legacy. I am sure he would rather give it 2 or 3 more years, win a championship and walk into the sunset as the #2 receiver all time, statistically. If he can swallow his pride and his anger for that time, and turn himself into a real team player, then why not take a chance on him?
