NFL: Terrell Owens signs one-year contract with Seattle

Seattle - Mercurial all-pro wide receiver Terrell Owens returned to the NFL after spending part of a season as an owner/player of an indoor football league team.

The Seattle Seahawks gave the 38-year-old veteran a tryout and signed him to a one year contract for the ten year veteran minimum, says Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Owens hasn't caught an NFL pass since 2010 with the Cincinnati Bengals, having sat out the 2011 season after having knee surgery and receiving no contract offers. He made his return to football by signing with the Indoor Football League's Allen Wranglers, catching 35 passes for 420 yards and 10 touchdowns. His contract included an ownership stake in the team, but Owens lost it after being released after 11 games. The 15 year veteran from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga has had a very productive career despite having a reputation of being a diva with a loose mouth. His 15,934 receiving yards is second all time behind Jerry Rice, and his 153 touchdowns lands him tied for second all time with Randy Moss.
