Why didn't any team sign Terrell Owens in 2011?

I mentioned this in another thread.Terrell Owens caught 73 passes for almost 1000 yards,9 touchdowns in 2010 his last season in the NFL. He was actually a model citizen in Cinch,no drama but why wasn't he signed the next season?Those weren't bad stats for a 37 year old receiver.

He tore his ACL in the offseason and was 37... lotta teams just didn't want to be bothered with him

DH may not be the old DH but he can still put up double doubles .TO had a decent season and never was signed again.
TO wanted to be the focal point when teams wanted him to be more of a 2. After good starts with teams when things start going sideways or downhill people feel like what you have to put up with regarding their personality isn't worth it if you aren't a contender.

I'm not saying they aren't good, I'm just saying they're kind of annoying.

True I feel that.Crazy a team could have signed him towards end of season,give him the min. Crazy how he still isn't in the hall either but that's another thread :francis:

Exactly this. He didn't get blackballed, he was 37 and coming off a major knee injury. He hardly got any offseason interest in the previous 2 years. It wasnt surprising at all to see him go unsigned in 2011, it was a lot more surprising when the Seahawks actually signed him in 2012

Getting cut in preseason was surprising,dude was just done at that point.

Honestly figured he'd stick around but I remember just waiting to see if the bigger media circus would be around him or the Jets that season
