Antonio Bryant will be joined in Cincinnati tomorrow by Terrell Owens

Earlier today, we noted that Antonio Bryant is visitng Cincinnati. Joe Reedy tweeted about 30 minutes ago that Bryant was in Cincinnati. About an hour ago it was reported that Terrell Owens would be visiting Cincinnati tomorrow. Is Cincinnati going to sign both receivers? Probably not.

Receiver Terrell Owens is visiting the Bengals, too, a league source has confirmed. (Adam Schefter of ESPN reported it first; we're not sure why we still bend over backwards to mention that when so few of the other media companies simply say "confirmed" and nothing more.)

Receiver Chad Ochocinco has been actively lobbying the Bengals to sign Owens, and quarterback Carson Palmer recently expressed approval of such a move, too.

At a minimum, it'll be almost as awkward as the first shower-room encounter between Patrick Willis and David Carr if Bryant ends up joining the Bengals instead of Owens.

But it sure would be interesting to see what will happen with both receivers in town. We've extensively discussed preferences between T.O. and Bryant and Brandon Marshall. We should find out soon enough what the future holds for Carson Palmer and the receiving corps.

In other FA news, the Browns traded for QB Seneca Wallace and former Browns CB Leigh Bodden will remain in New England and not sign with Pittsburgh, probably good news for Chad Ochocinco.

No word on Chris Baker's visit today as of now.

that T.O. would likely be the last option behind Bryant and Marshall per Espn’s Clayton… Seem’s Clayton and that person didn’t know what they were talking about…

Who did they reference?

I mean, any opinion you hear is conjecture. That they’re bringing Bryant and T.O. both in doesn’t really tell us anything beyond what we already know – the Bengals are interested in these two players.

anyone else read Hobson's notes..

“Bryant, the Tampa Bay wide receiver who celebrates his 29th birthday Tuesday as the Bengals’ first free-agent visit, could be their last if the two sides reach a multi-year deal. Johnson’s deal that solidifies the defensive tackle spot, as well as a potential big contact for Bryant, could take the Bengals out of the running for even many of their own free agents.

Also in the mix is Bills wide receiver Terrell Owens, a guy that could be headed to Cincinnati as early as Tuesday afternoon but that has yet to be nailed down with the club as of late Monday night. The conventional wisdom is that Owens is a one-year option.

Everything else, from kicker Shayne Graham to right guard Bobbie Williams to safety Roy Williams, appears to be dependent on what happens next."

WHOA!! Wait a minute.. if we sign one of these FA wideouts.. we could lose some of our own important FA’s?? This is not an option, if we do not sign some of these guys we are going to have a problem here..
