Former Pro Bowl wide receiver Terrell Owens has reportedly reached a deal to sign with the Cincinnati Bengals. It is believed to be an incentive filled 1-year contract, but nothing has been confirmed as of yet. Owens last played with the Buffalo Bills in 2009, after wearing out his welcome in San Francisco, Philadelphia and then Dallas.

He looks forward to teaming with his long time best friend Chad Ochocinco, who is also a wide receiver. Quarterback Carson Palmer played a major role in convincing ownership to sign Owens to a contract.

Owens had a sub-par season last year, by his standards. For Buffalo he only managed to catch 55 passes for 829 yards and 5 touchdowns. These numbers were significantly lower than what fans were used to seeing from the talented receiver. The question remains to be seen, whether he can co-exist with teammate Chad Ochocinco. Both players have been known for wanting the ball more than their quarterbacks think they should have it.

Agent Drew Rosenhaus who represents Owens was unable to be reached for comment.
