Terrell Owens Could Possibly Maybe Become a Bear (But Not Really)

Adam Schefter has reported that the Bills need to trade Terrell Owens. Although, in fairness, he’s not necessarily “reporting” this, because he put it on Rumor Central at ESPN. Yet, it’s actually a fact: the Bills stink (BADLY) and if they can get anything back for a talented, albeit temperamental and aging, wide receiver who’s signed to a one-year deal, well, they should.

So, yeah — Schefter isn’t saying the Bills are trying to trade Owens, just that they should. And one of the teams he thinks that TO should go to? Da Bears.

Of course, as Andrew Sharp points out at SBNation, this sent everyone and their brother within 100 miles of Chicago into a Google frenzy worthy of Two Girls, One Cup. It’s not surprising, of course: whenever someone like Schefter mentions this possibility, people with any sort of access to a computer start Googling away, usually ending up on LALATE because of some SEO-driven slug instead of actually finding worthwhile information.

But I digress. The point here is Owens is not likely to be traded; Schefter readily admits that while mentioning that the Bears would only be a “good fit” for Owens were he to be traded. Which, coupled with the fact that the Bears gave away most of their valuable trade items when they landed Cutler, means it’s unlikely to go down.

Not that it wouldn’t be awesome — it totally would rule to see Owens actually happy again, catching balls behind an offensive line that wasn’t made out of plywood and duct tape* and making Trent Edwards’ life more miserable. But it’s probably not happening. So either close that window in your browser or just spend the rest of your afternoon trying to trade for Johnny Knox. Or watching porn. Or something other than Googling “TO TO TEH BEARS.”

*May actually be a compliment to the Bills o-line

This really made lots of people go to the net and confirm about this rumor trade. I think Owens will always be for the Bills. But we never really know what will happen next to him. Sometime this rumor will be a reality.
