The only team Owens has publically stated he will NOT play for is the Chiefs. No secret that there is no love loss between he and the KC head coach Todd Haley.

Those bridges were burnt when Haley was the WR coach in Dallas.

Thing is Owens is looking for something in the neighborhood of 5 mil per year. And any team that signs him now that will pay that amount would be a team that loses a starter to injury during camp/preseason.

Owens will look to be a #1 or #2 WR. He won't sign to be further on the depth chart then that.

The 3-4-5 WR will be expected to contribute on Special Teams, and that is something Owens will not agree to do.

And Owens said that about joining the Patriots on a BOSTON radio station. What did anyone expect him to say on a Boston radio station? But lets be real for a minute. In order for Owens to play in New England, he would have to unseat either Randy Moss or Wes Welker from their positions.

Does anyone realistically see that happening? Methinks not.

Owens will get a job when there is a significant injury to a starting WR somewhere in the NFL. Untill then, all the radio appearances, and interviews we have suddenly been seeing is simply Owens agent trying to market him with training camps only a week or two away.

Thats all these appearances are, "T.O. informercials". Now his agent will just wait by that 1-800 number and see who calls.
