Free-agent WR Terrell Owens said Friday, April 19, that he is looking to make a return to the NFL after not playing in 2012 and he wants to make that return with the Chicago Bears.

Huddle Up: Owens. Jay Cutler. What could possibly go wrong? As the kids say, get your popcorn.

There is nothing happening between the New England Patriots and free agent WR Terrell Owens (Bengals). Owens would like to return to the NFL.

Huddle Up: T.O. did work out with Tom Brady on Wednesday at USC, but those could be among the final passes he catches from an active NFL QB as Owens will turn 40 before the 2013 regular-season ends.

The Seattle Seahawks have released WR Terrell Owens.

Huddle Up: As the preseason went on, it became clear that T.O. was goin to be unable to dig himself out of his deep hole on the Seattle WR depth chart. Owens had only 2 catches for 23 yards in the preseason and clearly was outplayed by fellow veteran Braylon Edwards, among others. With T.O. at age 39 and not having played in the regular season since 2010, this likely could've been his final NFL shot.

Seattle Seahawks WR Terrell Owens simply has not shown enough this preseason to believe he will make the final roster. Owens caught two passes for 41 yards Friday, Aug. 24, but he didn't fight for one ball thrown to him deep down the sideline. He also dropped another pass on a play that was erased by an unrelated penalty.

Huddle Up: Despite what raw talent may still be left, TO has been a bubble guy all pre-season. Still seeing him go in drafts. Not sure why. Edwards, Rice and Tate are better late round options.

Seahawks WR Terrell Owens failed to catch a pass in Saturday night's preseason contest in Denver.

Huddle Up: It was clear Pete Carroll and his staff wanted to give the 39-year- old Owens an opportunity to make some plays. He started the game and was targeted 5 times by QB Matt Flynn, but he couldn't come up with a single reception. His best chance came when he got behind the Denver D in the second quarter, but a perfectly placed 45-yard pass sailed right through his hands in the end zone. There is no shortage of candidates for the Seattle WR spots, and T.O. is going to have do something -- anything -- in Week 3 of the preseason to have any kind of shot at making the final roster.

Seattle Seahawks WR Terrell Owens will play in the preseason game Saturday, Aug. 18. Head coach Pete Carroll said he does not know how long Owens will play.

Huddle Up: It's time for the 39-year-old T.O. to show his wares after sitting out the entire 2011 season. Seattle has a crowded house at WR with Golden Tate, Sidney Rice and Braylon Edwards also in the mix, among others, and Owens is going to need make a fairly quick impression to have a shot at a regular-season roster spot.

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said he has been impressed with the progress of veteran WRs Braylon Edwards and Terrell Owens in training camp. "Braylon Edwards has played great for us in practice, and he did a beautiful job in the game, so he's starting to make an impact," Carroll said. "And then we thought Terrell might have a chance to make an impact as well, and we worked him out, and he was phenomenal. He's right in the middle of everything, practicing hard, competing every day."

Huddle Up: The Seahawks have openings in their wide receiver mix, and while Edwards and Owens are older they both appear to have some game left in them. Of course, Seattle's first depth chart listed Ben Obomanu and Golden Tate as the starters and now Sidney Rice is healthy. Good problem for the Seahawks to have, bad for fantasy purposes when multiple receivers are spreading the wealth.

Seattle Seahawks WRs Ben Obomanu and Golden Tate sit atop the team's initial preseason depth chart. WRs Deon Butler and Kris Durham are listed as the second-team receivers, with WRs Braylon Edwards and Charly Martin as the third-teamers. WR Terrell Owens is not listed among the top six, and neither are WRs Doug Baldwin (hamstring), Ricardo Lockette (leg) and Sidney Rice (shoulder), who have been dealing with injuries.

Huddle Up: There is quite a battle brewing here, and while the current pecking order might shock some observers, keep in mind that it's still early -- real early -- and there are 3 more preseason games to sort things out. When healthy, Baldwin and Rice will almost certainly be in the top-6 mix, and likely so will T.O. once he gets up to speed with his new team. Trades are also a possibility here as the month goes on.

The addition of WR Terrell Owens to the Seattle Seahawks could threaten WR Sidney Rice's playing time. Owens worked as the second-team flanker in practice Wednesday, Aug. 8, which is Rice's position. Putting Owens at flanker is a sign that the Seahawks don't necessarily trust Rice to be healthy. "I'm a little rusty, but obviously it's about competing and I'm here to compete for the job," Owens said.

Huddle Up: Rice has had a difficult enough time staying healthy that the Seahawks are wise to explore a contingency plan. And if Owens flashes enough of his old ability they'll find a place on the field for him regardless of Rice's status.

Seattle Seahawks WR Terrell Owens was not signed because of injuries to-or-performance of other receivers, according to general manager John Schneider.

Huddle Up: Some believe Owens' signing is a result of a lack of faith in Golden Tate and Ben Obomanu as the No. 3 and No. 4 WRs. Others believe the Seahawks are hedging a bit on Sidney Rice, whose whole body is surgically scarred.

Seattle Seahawks WR Doug Baldwin thinks the addition of WR Terrell Owens will only help the team's depth at the position. "Terrell Owens is an unbelievable talent. They brought him in because that's what Pete Carroll believes in is competition," Baldwin said. "He's going to come in immediately and compete for a job, and that's what we're all about here."

Huddle Up: There's little question Owens is in great shape, and he reportedly blazed his 40 while working out for the Seahawks. If he's anywhere close to the receiver he's previously been he'll help Seattle. Of course, with all of TO's talent comes baggage but perhaps a year out of the league and another year of maturity has Owens dialing down the diva. Should be a fun ride in Seattle.

The Seattle Seahawks have agreed to terms with free-agent wide receiver Terrell Owens (IFL). Terms of the deal are undisclosed.

Huddle Up: After a year away from the NFL and fresh off a season with the Indoor Football League's Allen (Texas) Wranglers, T.O. is back. Owens ranks sixth all-time with 1,078 career receptions and trails only Jerry Rice with 153 TD catches. He also will turn 39 in December, but was in great shape for his workout Monday in Seattle. So where does he fit in on his new squad, his sixth NFL stop? The Seahawks already have waived Mike Williams and Antonio Bryant this summer, but still have Sidney Rice, Doug Baldwin, Golden Tate, Braylon Edwards, Deon Butler and Ben Obumanu among others at wideout. At the least, it should make for an interesting August.

The Seattle Seahawks will work out free-agent WR Terrell Owens Monday, Aug. 6.

Huddle Up: Check the driveway of the Seahawks complex; Owens should be pumping out sets of sit-ups. Seattle has already bailed on Mike Williams and Antonio Bryant; Owens is the next veteran up in their quest to find some help at wideout.
