ESPN's Chris Mortensen has reported that the Rams are in "serious" pursuit of free-agent wide receiver Terrell Owens. The Rams are extremely thin on the depth chart at wide receiver. They have Donnie Avery, Laurent Robinson, Brandon Gibson and rookie Mardy Gilyard as top possibilities on their roster so they could use some help. If coach Steve Spagnuolo can buy into what Owens has been selling – that he isn't a distraction and a problem in the locker room – maybe he will be willing to pair Owens with rookie quarterback Sam Bradford. If he lands with the Rams, it's fair to speculate it could have been the only offer Owens had waiting after he let it be known he was hoping to sign with a contender for this season.

St. Louis would be one of the few places where Owens would come in as the No. 1 receiver. But I cannot imagine Owens wanting to play for the Rams nor Spags wanting to bring him into the fold.
Lets be honest, we cannot become much worse, and plus it'll help build Bradford's character when it comes to dealing with strong personalities in this NFL future. I'd rather have a WR who moans if he doesn't get the ball than one who picks up DUI's or beats the crap out of their teammates.
damn....jackson is already a BEAST....now imagine how a legit receiver will help out the rams running game :icon_eek:
A rookie QB who's never played one down in the NFL plus T.O. This is a train wreck waiting to happen.
I'm surprised we'd bring in a trouble maker like him. I'm iffy on this....I assume we can give it a trial run because Owens could help us, but the FIRST time he starts crap with Bradford, he should be cut immediately. A rookie QB doesn't need this type of drama distraction.
Now word is the Rams could offer him a contract as early as Monday: St. Louis Rams considering offer to free-agent receiver Terrell Owens? - The Huddle: Football News from the NFL - USATODAY.com
The good thing is he'll let us know if Bradford is the real deal or not. Could be good for the Rams. Hate to see him "disgrace" Torry Holt's #81...lol...
