Carroll says TO can still play despite being cut
RENTON, Wash. (AP) - Seattle coach Pete Carroll says that despite the Seahawks' decision to release Terrell Owens he still believes the 38-year-old wide receiver can play in the NFL.
Carroll said Monday he has no doubt that Owens can still play and would be surprised if he didn't catch on with another team. Owens was released by the Seahawks on Sunday as they made their initial round of cuts to reach the 75-man league-mandated roster limit.
Owens arrived at Seahawks camp in terrific shape and looked good on the practice field, but couldn't transfer it to the games. He had just two catches for 41 yards in two preseason games that were more notable for his drops.
But Carroll said the team would not rule out looking at Owens later in the season if needed. Carroll said Owens was great and did everything asked of him.

He may still be able to play but it ain't happening here! Hahaha! We don't want your attitude here!
Who's this Terrell Owens guy, who does he play for?

Really?
I know he can. I wish he would have made it through this next preseason game. I like T.O.
I wouldn't be surprised to see him play here this year. Had he been on the roster at the start of the season his contract would have been guaranteed, if a player is signed after the 1st game the contract isn't guaranteed. Injuries always play a big part in the NFL.
 @jds_55 I was going to say the same thing. I wouldn't be surprised if they picked him up a bit later in the season. It's better to pay him on a game-to-game basis thatn have to guarantee a contract by attaching him to the roster before the season starts.Â
Thanks, Pete for giving Terrell your permission to play.
Do you really think *that* is what he was doing?
