Terrell Owens Bears - Terrell Owens hasn't been in the NFL for a couple years now, and his last stint was with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2010, but he's hoping his professional career isn't over. NFL.com reports that wide receiver Terrell Owens is looking to play in the 2013 season, and currently he is eyeing the Chicago Bears as his new team.
Owens has an old relationship with Chicago Bears coach Marc Trestman, and he is hoping that will help him get in with the team. T.O. and Trestman spent a year together with the San Francisco 49ers back in 1996.
Trestman was the offensive coordinator for the Niners.
"I played my first early years in San Francisco with and shortly after that, he left to do some things," Owens told Comcast SportsNet Chicago's David Kaplan on Friday. "I haven't talked to Marc in a long while. I know he's gone on and done some things, now he's back in the NFL. So, I never really thought about it until myself and (former linebacker) Napoleon (Harris) were talking about it earlier, but I would definitely welcome it if they would give it some serious consideration.
"To think about (Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall) on the other side and me on one side, that's really dangerous. I'm keeping myself in shape just for any opportunity that may come about."
Recently, Owens worked out and caught some passes from Tom Brady and Matt Cassel, and he is hopefully trying to get some more practice in.
While it has been a long time since Owens worked with Trestman, he is still hoping that the connection will work out for him and get him a job with the Bears. At this point, it appears as if Owens would really take a job anywhere.
