NO T.O. IN ATLANTA

In the past, receiver Terrell Owens has mused about the possibility of playing for the Falcons, given that he spends his offseasons in Atlanta.
Before he gets to worked up about the possibility, he needs to consider one thing.
The Falcons don’t want him.
Specifically, a league source tells us that the Falcons can be scratched from the list.
It’s not a huge shock — they already have Roddy White, one of the best young receivers in the league. And as the franchise attempts to continue to rebuild its image in the wake of the Mike Vick mess, the last thing they need is Owens creating division in the locker room.

VIKES NOT INTERESTED, EITHER

And there’s another.
Again, it’s not a surprise. But now it’s official.
A league source tells us that it’s “very safe to say” that the Minnesota Vikings aren’t interested in receiver Terrell Owens.
The Vikings recently made a run at T.J. Houshmandzadeh, and T.O. has experience in the West Coast Offense. So, on the surface, a possible fit existed.
But Owens and Vikings coach Brad Childress had a verbal squabble during T.O.’s campaign to be cut by the Eagles. Owens at one point told Childress not to talk to Owens.
As we recall it, Childress eventually testified in T.O.’s grievance hearing and shared some unflattering opinions about Owens.

The Anti-T.O. list continues to grow.
A league source tells us that, as expected, the San Francisco 49ers aren’t interested in bringing Owens back to the team where his career started.
It’s not a shock. But now it’s official.
