Terrell Owens Headed To Cincinatti

Its being reported that Terrell Owens has signed a 1yr/$2 million contract with the Cincinatti Bengals. Which begs the question "Is Carson Palmer really looking forward to this?" After successfully trash talking every QB he's ever had, from Garcia to McNabb and Romo, you would have to think; no he's not. T.O. is older, lost a step, and probably still has the same ego and attitude. It's sad to see such a great talent wasted on such a terrible personality. It's safe to say that there are wide outs in the league making way more money than T.O. who have nowhere near the talent he has. But no team in the league, even the Rams, are willing to risk more than a couple million dollars and one year of commitment to this guy. I think that says a lot about what T.O. brings to the locker room and a lot about his character. Seriously, how long can he and Chad Ochocinco coexist before one of them starts to get a little upset at the amount of balls coming their way? The most interesting thing about this whole deal is waiting and watching to see the exact moment when it all goes south. T.O. has always delivered on two things: Celebrations and Drama. I don't think this year will be any different. Especially if T.O. doesn't get the ball enough to produce what he needs to collect on the other $2 million dollars in incentive pay. Maybe, just maybe, the stars will align and this will all work out to the best for the Bengals, but if I was a betting man I would put my money on the sure thing: DRAMA!
