Report: Terrell Owens wants to play for Patriots | Comcast SportsNet - CSNNE.com
Terrell Owens said:Obviously the situation with the Patriots, they are starting out with a lot of new guys. You never know how management is thinking, what their process is as far as bringing in veterans.
I understand they may look at my age as an issue but I’m not your average 39-year-old. I think if you watch me work out, I’m not really concerned about injuries or anything like that. Plus, I’ll be getting paid the vet minimum, so it’s not like I am asking for any extra incentive in my contract.
I just want to play because I know I’m still competitive. I can play at a productive level. And the thing is, the last two or three teams that I’ve played on, they brought up my age issue but there’s never really been a decline in my production. I know that there’s some character issues that teams are worried about that’s understandably noted, but I am a different person than I was 10 years ago.”
