Terrell Owens wants to sign with the Bucs.
48-year-old Terrell Owens wants to replace Antonio Brown on Buccaneers: 'I know I can do it'
Antonio Brown 'is no longer a Buc' after abrupt exit during Buccaneers, Jets game
Can Terrell Owens replace Antonio Brown on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers?
"Absolutely," Owens, the Hall of Fame wide receiver, said on the "Getcha Popcorn Ready with T.O. and Hatch" podcast on Tuesday. "I know I can do it… Let me go out there and show you."
Owens said the Buccaneers should consider bringing him in for a workout and adding him to the roster after Brown abruptly exited the team on Sunday, leaving the Bucs in need of a wide receiver after Chris Godwin tore his ACL in late December.
"If you think about where they are in the season, they don't need me for a 16-game season," Owens told co-host Matthew Hatchette. "Three to four games at the max. So, yes, I feel like I can go in, I can contribute at a high level and can be productive."
Owens, who was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2018 following a 15-year career, hasn't played in the NFL since 2010, but the 48-year-old said he's in shape and ready for the call.
"I've been working out the course of this entire season," said Owens. "There was an owner that reached out to me at the beginning of the season and told me to keep myself in shape just in case anything happens, and I have done that."
Owens said he deserves a chance at a comeback. Last month, he posted footage of himself running routes on Instagram, writing, "PLAYOFF READY!"
"We are supposed to be a country of second, third chances. Look at the chances AB had," Owens said Tuesday. "Who's to say that I can't go out there and do it?"

Wow, this would be unbelievable.

Yes, entertain us, I bet they can't top Jim Harbaugh taking his shirt off!
TO was maybe the best I ever saw.
He had a lot going on before he joined the league. Still does. I would assume that, out of financial desperation, he thinks that this could lead to something big.
I go back and forth between TO & Moss, in my opinion they are the top 2 best WR’s ever.
It would be hilarious if they signed him though, the funny thing is he might be better than any unsigned WR out there
If I was the Bucs, I wouldn't hesitate to sign him, I can't wait to hear what the Bucs think about this. Why haven't they responded? This news is huge, it has me excited, I haven't been this excited since that time I got a Tom Selleck cake on my birthday!
can you imagine. a 44 year old QB throwing to a 48 year old WR?
insane
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
Someday hopefully, I'll finally get the birthday I've always wanted.
Why haven't the Bucs responded? Bruce? Tom? Gronk? Somebody respond!
Why not.......I'd tune in to watch him play. Reminds me of the Copper Fit commercial with Bret Farve throwing to Jerry Rice against a bunch of younger guys in a pickup football game.........

Whose next? Ocho Cinco?
