The unrestricted free agent wide receiver Terrell Owens seemed to run out of his chances of getting a new job before it was reported that the St. Louis Rams are holding interests in signing the veteran wide receiver. When it seems extremely unlikely for Owens to put on New Orleans Saints jersey, joining a lowly ranked team like Rams is just not a bad idea.
ESPN.com reported on Saturday that the Rams have intensified discussions about Owens, who has been on the market since the start of free agency in March. According to Rams general manager Billy Devaney, Owens was just one of the unsigned veterans being considered by the Rams. So the 36-year-old veteran will still face competition from other receivers.
Ranking sixth in NFL history with 1,006 receptions, third with 14,930 receiving yards and fifth with 147 touchdowns, Owens was last seen in a Favre jersey working out on his own. He has played 14 seasons and split them with four different teams: the San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys and Buffalo Bills, but he did not help the Bills a lot in his only season there. But to the Rams, Owens’ arrival could just be a great help as their only experienced receiver on roster is Laurent Robinson, who is still recovering from an injury sustained in 2009 season.

Bucs rookie DT McCoy would like to sign after Sam Bradford
Just like the first overall draft pick of 2010 NFL draft Sam Bradford, the third overall draft pick Gerald McCoy is still in talks with his team the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for his first NFL contract. While Bradford’s main concern is on how much he should be paid, McCoy is having his eyes on the progress of Bradford’s contract talks.
McCoy does not want to be lowly paid, after all he was drafted third overall. But he neither wants to overrate himself by asking for too much, so his current biggest wish is that Bradford signs his contract with the St. Louis Rams and then he will know how much he should ask for from the Bucs. Failing to put on Saints jersey because of his high ranking in draft picks, McCoy believes he deserves no much less than what Bradford can get, and of course no more than Bradford.
"It's kind of one of those deals where you would rather let the first pick sign first," McCoy caught in a Favre jersey by an Oklahoman reporter and talked about his contract talks. "You don't want to do your deal first and his contract is way higher than yours. But if you waited yours would have been higher."
