With word late Wednesday that the Dallas Cowboys have cut Terrell Owens, here are three teams that could use T.O.
1. Miami Dolphins
Owens would be more than just a splashy acquisition. They desperately need a No. 1 receiver with the size, strength and speed to make big plays. Also, Bill Parcells has made it work in the short-term with Owens before, and South Florida would be an attractive destination.
2. New York Giants
If their management and coaching staff are willing to take the risk, Owens would fill a big void with Plaxico Burress’ future uncertain. At least Owens would stay out of off-field trouble, and he’ll be driven to shine in the four tough division games against the Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles.
3. Minnesota Vikings
It would be hard for coach Brad Childress to forget what happened in Philadelphia, but considering Minnesota’s pursuit of T.J. Houshmandzadeh, a big-time receiver such as Owens may be the sole missing piece in a team that is ready to win big now. T.O. can elevate the Vikes to NFC favorites.
