According to player rep Drew Rosenhaus, free agent Terrell Owens (ACL surgery) has been medically cleared for football activities.
The next steps will involve 1) recapturing "football shape," and 2) finding a team willing to sign him. For T.O., the latter will prove most difficult. Only a handful of teams would even be willing to consider Owens at 100 percent, and he now carries an injury red flag after knee reconstruction followed by stem-cell treatment. T.O. turns 38 in less than two months. Oct 19 - 4:31 PM

Terrell Owens(notes) is ready to return to the NFL.

The veteran wide receiver has been rehabilitating a left knee injury that required surgery. He is a free agent and agent Drew Rosenhaus says he will begin contacting teams immediately to let them know Owens is healthy.

Rosenhaus said Owens could play Sunday.

“We are open to any team at this point,” Rosenhaus said Wednesday. “There have been several teams showing interest thus far, but I won’t identify them at this time.”

The 37-year-old Owens played 14 games for Cincinnati last year, making 72 receptions with nine touchdowns. He ranks third in career touchdown catches with 153 and second in yards receiving with 15,934.

Owens also played for San Francisco, Philadelphia, Dallas and Buffalo.

Among those teams short-handed at receiver are Tennessee, Houston, Jacksonville and Miami.

I'm fairly confident T.O. will have worse numbers than Chad Johnson
He's fantasy irrelevant even though he may still have some gas in the tank for some team desperate enough to sign him

I hope he joins Carson in Oakland...TO is a monster and I think that he could be fantasy relevant if he was in the right situation....I think he would fit in nice in Carolina and I'm sure someone is going to sign him....Im not saying Im going to make a move for him but if he gets in the right situation I could see him putting up much better numbers then Chad Johnson...I think he was better the CJ last year

No way they poison all of those young, impressionable WRs in Oakland with TO. All he has to do is be on the field for 3 plays per game to get better numbers than Ocho. It's a long shot but I thought he was done last year. I was wrong.

If Al Davis was still in charge, he'd already be in Oakland. If you have to guess where he'll be in the next week or two, it's gotta be Oakland.

TO and Ocho are completely different creatures on the field despite the fact they act in similar manners off of it. TO coming off a knee reconstruction still holds more value than Ocho; not saying that is meaningful value either way but just clarifying.

Chad needs to hang it up... still looks lost 7 weeks into the season lol. I'd be curious to hear how he's viewed by his fellow wideouts/tight ends in New England at this point since things have quieted down since the Teddy/Tweet incident. Fortunately for him though, NE seems to be very good at keeping things in their locker room.

Do you think he'd happily take a backseat to Steve Smith? Or vice versa?

Olsen/Shockey are the 2nd outlet here.

TO's not at all what this team needs. They need a Wes Welker, not an over-the-hill prima donna who's a massive PITA.

Translated from agent speak to real life:

Come on guys, Terrell really needs a freaking job so I can make some money off his stupid azz....there are no teams really in the mix for a 37 year old prima donna coming off a career ending injury but I hope if I lie enough some desperate owner will be watching the 2006-2008 Dallas Cowboy games on U Tube will give us a call thinking this TO is that TO............

If the first time we're hearing about it is from Drew Rosenhaus....then there's a 99% chance it's complete bs.

If Yahoo is the one that picks it up and runs with it (then followed by ESPN), then there's a 99.9% chance it's complete bs.

If he was really so potentially impactful, don't you think he'd be signed by now...or we'd be hearing about who's about to sign him?...especially if "he's ready to play now"?

I love TO. He's one of my favorite receivers of all time. As long as he is healthy enough I want him to play forever.
