Report: New York Jets Expressing Interest In Terrell Owens

The Cincinnati Bengals officially offered wide receiver Terrell Owens a deal with the hope for a response within 48 hours for the receiver to make it in time to training camp. The St. Louis Rams were the only known team to have reportedly expressed interest with several unknown teams that we suspect are being pedaled by agent Drew Rosenhaus to drive Owens' demand upward. However, the Rams stepped out and the Bengals remained the only known team.
However, a new team has emerged.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the New York Jets are "exploring" the idea of signing Owens.
The Jets have contacted Owens' agent, Drew Rosenhaus, and have debated the idea of bringing the high-profile wide receiver to training camp.
A deal between the Jets and Owens still is considered a longshot; one person estimated the Jets' chances at signing the high-profile wide receiver at "20 percent."
Schefter writes that the Bengals remain the favorite. Even with that being the case, the contract that Owens could demand may increase. And therefore, there's another reason why Bengals fans have found lately to hate the New York Jets.

The Jets Will Get Him
Welcome fans! Im new to posting but not to the page..I have been reading for about 2 years…Anyhow while I would LOVE for the dude to be in stripes I guess he took our contract and asked the Jets if they could beat it….We will see but Im not as excited as I was yesterday….HOWEVER
This will give us more fuel to win on Thanksgiving! Our team is still loaded! We move forward. I give it 50/50 chance he signs and thats dropping by the minute…If Im wrong then I will admit that….No worries…
Not about Super Bowl if he signs wit NY
If he signs with the jets it is clearly to promote his “brand” and life after football!! We are on the cusp of winning a Super Bowl with the Talent that Brown and Lewis have been drafting these past couple of years. The media still does not beleive we have a winner and we will once again use that as FUEL! The us vs. the world mentality carried us to a 10-6 AFC NORTH Champs and I see us coming in this season with that same mantra. WHODEY!?
Everyday is a WHO DEY!
Good point I read on Twitter-
Brown should have told T.O. he would pull the offer after about twelve hours, not 48. Too long to shop the deal.
RE:
I saw that. But I don’t think that the Bengals really have much bargaining power, aside from saying, “hey, we’re the only team that’s actively wanting to pick you up.”

Hurry Up and sign him
I really don’t want to lose out on signing TO. I was at that Dallas game. This guy is a freak. Probably not as explosive as he once was but can still contribute and take pressure off ocho and Gresham. Are we writing off AB too soon. I really hope he steps up and gets healthy. We could really make some noise and shut up all these fair weather Baltimore fans. Quick question who is the reigning AFC champions. That’s right Who Dey!!!!

O-line
I think talking about receivers is a moot point because if Carson doesn’t have time to pass then it doesn’t matter who we have lining up at wide-out. I think we are focusing our energies/thoughts/opinions on the wrong aspect of the Bengals offense. But I’m all for signing TO. I was very disappointed with the signing of AB, but put on a brave face and convinced myself that it was going to work out.

Rather obvious
The Jets are soiling themselves and freaking out that the Bengals may get TO. With TO on our team, we become the favorite for the ring.. and the Jets know it!!! Get TO in here!
Jets should say N.O. to T.O.
im a Jets fan and i just dont see a spot on our Roster for Owens, i know Holmes will miss the first 4 games but what happens after that? cut Owens? …i think his best option would be to sign with Cinncy and have a double threat at WR with Ocho and T.O.
