Terrell Owens Seeks Takers For NFL Return

Wide receiver Terrell Owens has done a great job of marketing himself during his 15-year NFL career. En route to becoming an all-time great – No. 2 behind Jerry Rice in career receiving yardage and receiving touchdowns – Owens became a familiar name among casual fans, well-known for his touchdown celebrations, his sideline tantrums and his anti-establishment antics.
He parlayed that success into The T.O. Show on VH1 and celebrity outside the NFL. But that also made teams wary of bringing him aboard the last few seasons, concerned about the six-time Pro Bowler’s reputation for being a diva and divisive presence in the locker room.
Now, at 37 and unemployed, coming off knee surgery in April, Owens announced in a recent interview that he’ll return to the NFL “in a month or less.”
If only it were that simple. But Owens won’t be back in the NFL unless a team desires his services, which seems questionable at this point.
