NFL betting players are wondering if anyone is going to take a flier on Terrell Owens, the 36-year-old receiver with nine seasons of 1,000 yards or more, but he’s been known to cause some trouble in locker rooms.  Despite all this, not to mention a poor quarterbacking situation, Owens still caught 55 balls for 829 yards and five touchdowns last year in Buffalo, so there should be a team willing to take a risk.  Here’s a trio that could end up rolling the dice.

Terrell Owens

Jacksonville

David Garrard needs targets if he is going to improve, because no team with Mike Sims-Walker as their No.1 receiver is going to go to the playoffs.  At least Owens could keep him from getting double-teamed.  In addition, the Jaguars are having major problems selling tickets, and Owens would probably help with that.

Chicago

Owens would have had the most yards on the Bears, whose No.1 receiver is Devin Hester.  He’s improving as a receiver, but he’s not a top receiver in the NFL.  Jay Cutler has experience with troubled receivers, having played with Brandon Marshall in Denver, and he’s the best quarterback on this list, by far.

Oakland

It’s amazing that this hasn’t even been considered yet.  Owens would probably fit in well with the Raiders’ “outlaw” image, and Raider Nation would embrace him.  The problem is, for Owens anyway, the quarterbacking situation.  The Raiders did pick up Jason Campbell from Washington, but Oakland pivots have been terrible lately (ahem JaMarcus Russell), which bogs the entire offense down.  Even if Owens didn’t boost the team’s online betting odds, it may excite Raider Nation, which is a start.
