Oh boy, this might be the best AFC WR tandom in the NFL. People really under estimate the value of a ” across the middle” WR. Terrell Owens , in his career, hasn’t had a WR opposite of him that could help stretch the field. BUF showed the best chance. Now in CIN, Owens can split the spotlight and cause havoc on opposing teams secondaries and create more TDs thru the air. Fellow Pro Bowl WR Chad OchoCinco can now benefit by having a Pro Bowl WR along side him. OchoCinco can now show off his powerful double break routes. Always being double teamed slowed down his abilities to get open. When TJ Hous…. was with CIN, he allowed more options for the offense. CIN hasn’t had that type of WR like Owens. A void that hasn’t been filled since TJ Hous. With Tampa Native Caldwell at slot, CIN has the chance to throw themselves into contentions of winning the AFC Championship?
What do you think?

Terrell Owens is a very underrated misused player in the NFL. You might not like his entertainment character, but his play is respected on and off the field. Throughout his career Owens has demonstrated his skills as a WR by making it to six pro bowls and putting up good stats even if the team as a whole didn’t produce. If you look at the teams he was on you notice that on the offensive side there wasn’t a balance of personal that can smooth out the opponent’s defense. In Philadelphia, Owens was the key WR. The problem was that Philly didn’t have a key player in another position to make defenses take pressure off Owens. McNabb was no longer a big threat running the ball. Same goes in Dallas. Dallas’ offensive players at the time Terrell was there weren’t demanding the attention needed to take pressure off Owens. Then his pitstop in Buffalo was no different. Buffalo’s RB were not dependable throughout the season. Buffalo had no other key players to draw attention. Terrell Owens is an example of great talent in a team concept. By himself Owens is just a good player.
With a team like Tampa Bay that has a good running game, a great young TE in Kellen Winslow, and other wide receivers that demand attention, Terrell Owens at 6’3″ would dominate all the DBs in the NFC South when the defense is focusing on Winslow or Cadillac or Graham or even Stovall. Tampa Bay should really take a look at TO to fill the void of Bryant. With a good QB like Freeman that can get him the ball and scramble, TO will put up career stats in Tampa.
Where do you think TO will GO?
