T.O. Runnin' On Empty: Part Deux

On October 25, 2011, I posted an article about Terrell Owens' effort to sign with an NFL team after recovering from reconstructive knee surgery. Representatives of Owens, who declared him fit, invited several NFL scouts to an informal workout to observe Owens with the hopes of generating some interest in the loquacious receiver, but no one bothered to show up.

I had speculated that the only team that might take a flyer on Owens were the Seattle Seahawks, but only if they were able to position themselves into playoff contention, which I couldn't see happening (click here for the original article). 

As expected, no NFL teams  signed Owens so in January 2012, the former All-Pro (whiner) swallowed his pride and signed a contract with the Allen Wrangers of the Indoor Football League. But to no one's surprise, that didn't last very long and in May 2012, the team cut ties with the perennial malcontent.
