Terrell Owens Makes Pitch For One Of His Former NFL Teams To Sign Him
It looks like Terrell Owens is trying to make a comeback for a contender!
Indeed, in an interview with 95.7 The Game's "The Morning Roast," Owens said he would jump at the chance to join the 49ers, and he says he's already reached out to team CEO Jed York. At 49 years old, Owens may not be the elite receiver he once was, but he says he could be helpful in certain situations.
"Oh yeah, absolutely," Owens said. "Hey look, man, I've already kind of sprinkled some words out there. Like yo, if you guys need a receiver, I'm good. Listen here: third down, red zone, trust me. I'm a very valuable asset.
Owens, who turned 49 years old Wednesday, spent the first eight seasons of his 15-year NFL career with the 49ers and remains second in San Francisco's record book in receptions (592), yards (8,572) and touchdowns (81).
And although he retired in 2010 at age 37 after stints with the Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals, Owens seems eager to don the Red and Gold once more.
"I've been training. I trained yesterday," Owens said. "... I'm already ready. I've already reached out to Jed York. I've already told him, like, 'Yo, if you need somebody, I'm definitely available.' "
