Report: Terrell Owens close to signing with the ... Seahawks?

Good times

August 6, 2012 at 8:55PM

Per ESPN.com ... apparently beggars can't be choosers (note: we're not sure if T.O. or Seattle is the beggar in this case):

Terrell Owens had a very impressive workout Monday in Seattle and the Seahawks are engaged in contract negotiations with the free-agent wide receiver and expects to complete a deal soon, league sources told ESPN's Ed Werder.

Owens' time in the 40 was below 4.45 seconds, sources said.

Owens hasn't played in the NFL since the 2010 season with Cincinnati when he caught 72 passes for 983 yards and nine touchdowns.

The 38-year-old Owens didn't get any NFL offers to play last season after surgery on his left knee.
