Aug 6 (Reuters) – The Seattle Seahawks have agreed a deal
with Terrell Owens that will return the controversial wide
receiver to the NFL.
Owens, who is 38 and has not played in the NFL since 2010,
worked out for the team on Monday and the Seahawks later
announced on their website (seahawks.com) that they will sign
the six-time Pro Bowler.
The deal is a one-year contract worth $1 million, according
to reports.
Owens sat out last season after knee surgery and a lack of
interest from teams around the league.
His 15-year resume is unquestioned, as he is second all-time
in receiving yards (15,934) and TD catches (153), but his
penchant for clashing with team mates has also dogged him during
his stints with five other NFL teams.
An aging Owens had long wanted to return to the league, and
he tweeted his excitement as the news was announced.
“â??God is good. Thankful. Grateful. To ALL my new team mates
… Let’s do this!”
