The Cincinnati Bengals, as reported by ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter, are also engaged in talks with Owens.

The Bengals signed free-agent receiver Antonio Bryant during the offseason but Bryant has struggled so far. According to a team source, that has motivated the Bengals to take another look at Owens.



One source said the Rams have gotten very aggressive in their pursuit of Owens and it's possible that Owens will sign with the Rams or Bengals within the next 48 to 72 hours

LMAO Owens will have Bradford in tears in two weeks.

I'm going to be really disappointed if Owens signs with someone. He deserves to be blackballed . . .

Instead, he'll sign with a team and pad his stats some more.

What upside is there in signing an old receiver who has diminishing skills and doesn't play special teams?

He'll only be good for 3 or 4 rec and maybe a touchdown a game.

He's washed up.
