Terrell Owens Agrees to One-Year Deal With Bengals

Get your popcorn ready. Terrell Owens has finally found a home.

According to ESPN's John Clayton, Owens has agreed to a one-year deal with the Cincinnati Bengals.

The deal is believed to be worth $2 million up front and could provide additional earnings for Owens through an incentive structure.

The Bengals had given Owens a deadline of Wednesday to take the deal. Late interest from the New York Jets may have delayed the process a bit, although the Jets never extended a formal offer to Owens.

The 35-year-old has produced declining numbers in each of the last three seasons. He is expected to compete for playing time with Antonio Bryant and could end up being the third receiver for the Bengals.

The signing of Owens is likely to make the Bengals one of the more entertaining teams in the NFL.

Teamed with Chad Ochocinco, Owens will provide a reliable target for Carson Palmer and could flourish in a reduced role.

That doesn't mean he will stay happy.

Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis has publicly stated his desire to land Owens. Ochocinco has also expressed his interest in playing alongside the aging wide receiver.

We'll have more details regarding the terms of the contract and the time and place of what should be an entertaining introductory press conference as they become available.

The Bengals open training camp tomorrow in Kentucky.
