It has been reported that the Cincinnati Bengals have added controversial wide receiver Terrell Owens to their roster with a 1 year deal, worth $2 million plus some incentives options. For quite a while it was looking like TO might not have a team to play for this season, but the Bengals decided that they couldn't resist.
This can be a good move or a move that makes no difference at all. We are all aware of TO's ability to make huge plays. He's done it during all of his career. But we also know of a few other things that he has done during his career, which is the reason that most teams weren't going after him this time around. Let's just say that his presence in the locker room is not one that has ever been described as peaceful. Don't get me wrong, I thought it was great when he took Tony Romo's back after that big playoff loss, but the following season, he was accusing him and Jason Witten of conspiring against him and making sure that TO wasn't getting the big plays. We all remember the famous fiasco between TO and Donovan McNabb.
So why would the Bengals want to go out and do this? Because of his stabilizing influence? Yeah, that must be it. I mean, Cinci has its own problem child in Chad "I refuse to call him by his current last name" Johnson. How do you keep 2 primma donas happy? You can't throw to both of them on every single play, so I guess you just have to hope that both of those loud mouths, who are both past their prime as far as productivity goes, are able to just work for the betterment of the team. I suppose we will see whether or not that happens. All in all, I do think that it is a pretty good pick up for the Bengals.
