Terrell Owens is on the verge of being inducted into the Hall of Fame, but he’s not necessarily done playing. The legendary wide receiver has invoked a clause that gives the CFL’s Edmonton Eskimos a window to offer him a deal or to release his rights, according to Justin Dunk of 3 Down Nation. Owens made the request on July 14, so the Eskimos have until next Tuesday to hammer something out with T.O. 
A deal with the Eskimos wouldn’t necessarily be all that lucrative. The CFL league minimum is $54K, and Owens tends to be pretty focused on finances. However, a deal would give him an opportunity to get back on the field and show what he can do at the age of 44. And, although it may seem unlikely, a shot in the CFL could theoretically open the door to an NFL return.
Edmonton-based agent Jason Staroszik is handling the CFL negotiations for Owens and insists that his client is serious about playing.
“He still feels like he has some football years left in him,” Staroszik told Dave Naylor of TSN (on Twitter). “He just loves the game and wants to get back to playing, whether it’s the CFL or NFL.”
If Owens joins the Eskimos, he could make his debut on Thursday, August 2. The game would coincide with the league’s Hall of Fame game, giving him yet another opportunity to upstage the events in Canton.
He’s delusional !
Is he related to the Ball family? It wouldn’t shock me.
T.O is hands down the 3rd best WR of all time and it’s a damn shame that he didn’t make first ballet. If you disagree go look up his career stats then come back and you will have no argument. (Jerry Rice and Randy Moss are #1 and 2)
Finally someone else sees his accomplishments for what they were… Thank you!
I disagree
I’d put him at 4th all time personally. Fitz is def my #3. Just because of the numbers he put up with a horrible cast of QB’s throwing to him(Warner & maybe Palmer aside) TO’s QB history is def better
I agree
Owens needs money bad; he can’t play and he can’t pay (his bills)
He ran a 4.2 40 yard dash at 45 years old I’d like to see you or anyone you know do that
Don’t see how that is possible with him only being 44 years old
Well that’s just great but in Edmonton he would have to deal with blizzard headwinds at -20 degrees.
He did that at 45? He’s trying to play at age 44, so is he aging in reverse?
Generally the cash flow problem is tackled by writing a book or appearing in a reality TV series. Apparently OT’s stock is not as high as he might think.
Really ? At 45 ? Did he have a time machine to do that ? Considering he’s only 44 right now!
Congrats you corrected me by 3 months.
