If early media coverage of the Terrell Owens saga proves accurate it seems the brash former Cowboy, Eagle and 49er wide receiver might have trouble finding his next suitor.
Stephen A. Smith on ESPN News Thursday night indicated that Owens would like to play for Indianapolis, the New York Giants or New England. He cited no sources in his report, however, so it’s uncertain to me whether he was saying so based on solid information or just guessing where T.O. would like to play.
And the Entertainment and Sports Programming Network’s further reporting, courtesy of Chris Mortensen, indicated that all 16 NFC teams and 14 AFC teams have said they have no interest in signing the enigmatic receiver, cut loose officially by the Dallas Cowboys Thursday.
The Baltimore Ravens Wednesday signed long-time Minnesota Viking center Matt Birk to a three-year deal reportedly worth $12 million.
The signing fills a hole opened for Baltimore when Jason Brown signed with the St. Louis Rams. It also creates a chasm in the middle of a Vikings’ offensive line that, outside of left guard Steve Hutchinson, was overrated to begin with.
Ponder this. Former top pick and current left tackle Bryant McKinnie is maddeningly inconsistent. He was solid in 2008 but he has been in more jails than Pro Bowls and he’s struggled to live up to the hype that came with him from the University of Miami.
Anthony Herrera is a hard-working right guard. He’s fine as the fifth-best starter on your line, but on this team, he’s not. Vikings officials have talked openly about seeking better play from the right tackle position, manned last season by Ryan Cook. They’ve failed to land anyone thus far to challenge for Cook’s position.
Now, with Birk gone, the team faces the prospect of drafting a center far early than most “experts” think is wise or starting either second-year guy John Sullivan or Cook, who was originally drafted as a center.
