With the only NFL team that would be able to put up with Owens, now doesn't want him, the line to reject "the player" has been long and many.

Now if a team would only look at the performance on the field then they would realize that Owens still a No. 1 option on almost any field. 

The following top three teams could benefit from having this misunderstood individual.

 

San Francisco 49ers

The Niners could be the perfect homecoming for 81.  With Mike Singletary might be able to control T.O. like Parcells because the "Samurai Mike" is unafraid to put his star players in check, i.e. Vernon Davis.

 

New Orleans Saints

Despite head coach Sean Payton denying the report, Drew Brees has a strong arm and loves to distribute the ball to various positions like Reggie Bush and Jeremy Shockey. With an addiction like T.O. Brees would spread the defense further and are able make opportunities for every player on the ream and might give Brees the MVP award next season.

 

Oakland Raiders

The most obvious choice. Al Davis will take him.  That's it.  They will still be in the running for the 1st pick of the 2010 draft and a lot of unwanted media attention. 

 

No matter where T.O. goes, remember, at the age of 35, he is well past his prime and was second in dropped passes last season.  He might be more trouble than he's worth, but he might not.
