First, where will T.O. wind up?
He used to be the baddest receiver on the planet. It used to be a debate on who was better, Owens or Randy Moss. Now it's about a week before training camp begins for a lot of squads and T.O. can't seem to get work from anyone. Except, according to ESPN, the St. Louis Rams.
According to ESPN a source has told them that the Rams asked Owens through his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, if he would consider a serious contract proposal, even though they are not considered a playoff contender.
Rosenhaus told the team Owens would definitely consider it.
Considering teams haven't been exactly lining up for Owens' services there's a good chance this deal could happen.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter the Cincinnati Bengals are also kicking the tires on T.O.
Owens has had trouble finding a new job despite his talent because of issues with the coaching staff and the quarterback during his stints in San Francisco, Philadelphia and Dallas.

No matter where a rookie is drafted in the NFL, they are required to essentially be a slave to the NFL veterans. Carrying pads, doing Krispy Kreme runs, getting taped to the goal post, it's all in good fun and it's part of your first year playing professional football.
But Dallas Cowboys rookie Dez Bryant isn't playing ball.
He refuses to carry anyone's pads in the NFL, especially the guy he trying to get ahead of on the depth chart, Roy Williams.
"I'm not doing it," Bryant said. "I feel like I was drafted to play football, not carry another player's pads."
"If I was a free agent, it would still be the same thing. I just feel like I'm here to play football. I'm here to try to help win a championship, not carry someone's pads. I'm saying that out of no disrespect to [anyone]."
Obviously Williams doesn't agree. Not only is he in jeopardy of losing his job to the rook, but he can't even get the kid to submit to standard NFL hazing.
"Everybody has to go through it," Williams said. "I had to go through it. No matter if you're a No. 1 pick or the 7,000th pick, you've still got to do something when you're a rookie.
"I carried pads. I paid for dinners. I paid for lunches. I did everything I was supposed to do, because I didn't want to be that guy."
Williams went on to threaten more severe hazing in the future if Bryant's stance continues. Bryant has been shinning in practice but he won't make many friends in the locker room if he continues to rub them the wrong way.
