REPORT: 49-Year-Old Terrell Owens In Contact For Possible NFL Comeback With Super Bowl Contender
Legendary Hall of Fame wide receiver Terrell Owens is eyeing a potential comeback at age 49 and has set his ambitions on playing for the Dallas Cowboys for the second time, according to NFL sources.
Owens' Houston-based agent, Gregory D.L Daniel, Esq., confirmed that he has been in contact with the Cowboys and other NFL teams.
«Terrell is ready to contribute and play any role, big or small,» Daniels said. «He's in outstanding shape. He looks no different than he did years ago. I watched him running routes full-speed with DeSean and he looked great. He didn't drop a pass.»
His propensity to drop passes got him cut by the Seahawks at the end of the preseason in 2012.
«He most recently ran a 4.5 40-yard dash, which was his warm-up,» Daniels said. «He's a legend. We want to make history and see him break these records. If anybody can do it, it's him. His three Ds are desire, dedication and discipline. He embodies that daily, even running hills at 3 a.m. on Christmas morning.»
Of course, performing well in workouts is a lot different than finding success at the NFL level, and Owens has been out of the NFL for quite a while. He was last on an NFL roster a decade ago when he spent three weeks with the Seahawks during the 2012 NFL preseason.
And Owens hasn't played a regular-season NFL game since his age-37 season in 2010; he logged 72 catches for 983 yards and nine touchdowns during that campaign with Cincinnati.
Let's just say it would be very surprising to see him making an active roster in the NFL at this point...
