My guess is that he will never play another down of NFL football.
but will he do pushups in his front yard for the cameras?

You'd have to find out for yourself. No one else cares at this point. T.O. is irrelevant.Perhaps next year will mark the return of the TOcho show -- 2 middle aged receivers desperately look for work.

Jay Glazer said he looks great, for what it's worth.

If I had a long bench I might stash him instead of some other teams number 3 WR.

I think the Texans would be wise to take a serious look at him.
fantasizing

He was in the top 10 for most of last year before getting hurt.Assume he's lost a stop one year later, that still putshim in the top 20 category imo.

In my mind there is no question he can play a game and play well. To me, its what happens as he tries to recover from games at 38 years old, week in and week out, while still dragging that leg. He may be a sell high candidate if he comes out and blows up. I think he could decline quickly after taking the field.
But he has surprised me before. Never thought he would play in that Super Bowl and he played well.

Owens is brutal on losing teams. They're 3-3 but felt like 0-6 today. I'd rather the entertaining Ocho. Can they make a sign and trade deal with the Pats?

Did you mean that he performs poorly, or that his presence is brutal? Owens was a top-12 fantasy WR while playing for losing teams in 2000, 2003, 2005, and 2010.
There is no way the Patriots sign this guy.
Who knows.. but with all the injuries to WR's in this league... and the reality that T.O. will come in and produce no matter where he goes... someone who is in the playoff hunt will sign him...my gut still thinks it is TN because of how much having T.O. would help not only the passing game that has faltered since Britt went down, but would help the running game leaps and bounds and help Chris Johnson get back on track

Baltimore would be ironic.
I dont think there is any question about that. TO brings it on the field. he Always has. Teams have always put up with his off field stupidity because he does bring it on the field. He blocks, he runs good routes, he runs the right routes, and he produces.Now, at his age, coming off ACL surgery, I expect some of his speed will be gone. However, he is still a good Physical receiver who can beat press coverage because of his physicality. Typically it takes 2 full years to recover from ACL Surgery to the point where most of your speed is back. At his age, I dont expect he will recover more quickly as some do. Depending on how his speed is actually affected, he may be better suited to working the slot. He is still a big body, so a corner cant easily get around him and outmuscle him for the ball. I believe he would still be a good possession receiver if he is willing to accept that role. I just dont know that his ego will allow it.That is the issue any team faces in signing the likes of TO.
I'd believe that.Hes the type of player that is ok when the team is winning, but put him on a loser, and he becomes a problem. That being said, the Raiders could use a WR. I just dont know if they are interested.The rams could use one even more.... but I expect management wouldnt want him to potentially mess with their young QB's head.either way, it will be interesting to see where he lands. I do believe some team will take a chance on him. Its just a question of who it will be.

I was half kidding, if losing I'd prefer the entertaining guy. I understand it wasn't so reasonable. Sorry for not being clear.

Wow - Schefter just said "no teams" may attend TO's workout. That would be embarrassing. 
Also said his leg might be covered to hide the atrophy.

Sounds like speculation on the leg...I bet TO will be wearing a body suit of some sort to show off his fitness. They don't need to be there to watch since it will be televised on NFL network.Wow - Schefter just said "no teams" may attend TO's workout. That would be embarrassing.

The Raiders problem is not WR. Why would you want to take snaps away from Denarious Moore or Jacoby Ford? Would that be good for their development? They can't even get Schilens or Murphy involved cause there isn't enough room

Patriots | Will evaluate Terrell Owens
Mon, 24 Oct 2011 22:44:42 -0700
The New England Patriots plan to evaluate free-agent WR Terrell Owens (Bengals), who will have an open workout Tuesday, Oct. 25, in the Los Angeles area. He will reportedly run routes and participate in agility drills in front of media and NFL teams. "I think he's no different than a lot of the other players that have been on the street," director of player personnel Nick Caserio said Monday, Oct 24. "We'll evaluate those players when they're available. We'll look at our situation, and then just make the determination, if that's something that makes sense for us."

Would be ideal if that were to work out... but who knows... anyone know when the workout is actually going to take place???KFFLatriots | Will evaluate Terrell Owens Mon, 24 Oct 2011 22:44:42 -0700 The New England Patriots plan to evaluate free-agent WR Terrell Owens (Bengals), who will have an open workout Tuesday, Oct. 25, in the Los Angeles area.

TEN looks like a horrible place for a WR to go and unless TO doesn't have a better offer I can't see him going there.Can you read?... i posted that on October 19th...Did you watch last Sunday

TO works out no one shows up.On NFL N Roesenhaus is filming to send to teams but no teams are there yet.
Don't NFL teams know he is MEDICALLY CLEARED TO PLAY??The best thing about being a TO hater is that this will all drag out.

I am kind of amazed no team scouts actually checked his workout. The guy can still play & is probably in better shape then WRS 10 yrs younger. I am surprised the Redskins arent on the phone with him, especially after losnig Moss for 5-7 weeks

Jerry Rice told ESPN that Owens is "just not in football shape.” Well if the great one says TO is not in shape who will sign him

ESPN cut to it live this morning/afternoon (depending on what time zone you're in)... Jerry Rice and Rachael Nichols were on the scene. Other than still being a ripped/cut physical freak, he looked sluggish (to me). Choppy steps versus clean cuts, a lot of panting, and a little limping. Every time he doubled over to catch his breath, Rosenhaus would walk over and stand him up. It was a little sad to watch... TO jogging around cones while high school kids played in the background. No NFL scouts on the scene at that time.Following up his "football shape" comment, Rice said it would take about 4 weeks to get that back once he catches on.I'm not sure he will (catch on)... maybe he can still contribute, but the post injury risk factors really seem to be elevated. Oh yeah, and he'll be 38 next month.
Are you kidding me? This is example A of hindsight bias.Doesn't matter when you posted it this season IMOCan you read?... i posted that on October 19th...Did you watch last Sunday
Before last week's annihilation the Titans were 3-2, .5 games ahead of Houston for the division lead. Hasselbeck was throwing the ball 36 times a game for 283 yards/game and badly in need of another WR target with the absence of Kenny Britt.
They were 3 point favorites at home to beat the Texans and extend the division lead.
And then they got destroyed and you come in here criticizing Dealerz' opinion (from last week) with the benefit of hindsight.
Wow.

I think your mixed up the perform well was about Alex Smith, the part about TO included:Rice said I'm not sure he will (catch on)... maybe he can still contribute, but the post injury risk factors really seem to be elevated. Oh yeah, and he'll be 38 next month.

Maybe I am mixed up, but I don't recall any segue into a discussion about Alex Smith.

Actually that was my observation/opinion, Jerry Rice did not say that. Rice delivered the line just above this one in my post.Sorry for the confusion.
