The Cincinnati Bengals sign Terrell Owens
The Bengals have signed 36-year old WR Terrell Owens to a 1-year, $2 million dollar deal with another possible $2 million in incentives. Owens played in 16 games (all starts) for the Bills last season and he caught 55 passes for 829 yards (15.1 avg) with 5 TD grabs. He also carried the ball 6 times for 54 yards (9.0 ypc) with 1 TD run last year. Owens has now played in 205 games (190 starts) in his NFL career and he has caught 1,006 passes for 14,951 yards (14.9 avg) with 144 TD grabs. He also has carried the ball 39 times for 251 yards (6.4 ypc) with 3 TD grabs. T.O. has been to six Pro Bowls in his NFL career. I really like this signing for the Bengals as Owens was on his best behavior in Buffalo last season and he showed he still has something left in the gas tank.
I have been a Bengals fan ever since i was old enough to know what football is,I am so hyped about this years team.Carson Palmer is one of the best that has ever played the game and along with Ocho,Benson and now T.O. we are bound for a bowl game welcome to the JUNGLE T.O.
I agree with your optimism Richard. The Bengals will likely have a potent passing game in addition to a solid running game. They have a good defense so for me the key is keeping Palmer healthy.
