Earlier this week, reports speculated the Tennessee Titans were interested with bringing Terrell Owens on board considering how much help they needed in the passing game. Unfortunately–it looks like Mr. Owens is going to be unemployed for at least a little bit longer.
According to Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com, head coach Mike Munchak made it clear on Wednesday the team has no plans of bringing Owens on board anytime soon–but he didn’t officially rule out the possibility of making the move down the road depending on the team’s situation. Owens was hoping to sign with a team by now, but his mysterious ACL injury from last April has prevented that from happening and the controversial wideout remains unemployed in the NFL.
Here’s what Munchak had to say about Owens joining the Titans courtesy of McCormick’s article:
“He’s not a guy specifically. It’s rare that we would talk about anything in the future. Anything could happen weeks from now,” Munchak said. “I have no idea on his situation, his health. I don’t even know if he’d have a chance to pass a physical this year, for all I know. But it was asked of me if he was completely healthy, would we take a look at him.”
“And I said, well, depending on our situation. Like we’ve done every Monday or Tuesday here, we take a look at a group of guys and work them out and see if there is someone there that can help us win football games. And that’s what you look at. If the timing was all perfectly right, would we bring a guy in and look at him? Sure. Not just him, but like we’ve been doing. Whoever that person may be. Not just necessarily him.”
The argument can be made Tennessee is in desperate need of help in the wide receiver department after losing Kenny Britt for the season with a torn ACL–but they’re apparently not desperate enough at the time to bring on a player like Owens. Considering how the Randy Moss deal worked out for them last season–it should be no surprise the Titans aren’t interested with bringing Owens on board right now.
