T.O.? NO.

The Bears need a receiver. Terrell Owens, just released from Dallas, is a great one. Some in Bears nation are clamoring for Jerry Angelo to go out there and slap the orange and navy on Owens.

I don't see Angelo doing it. And I agree with him.

I know all the things there are to love about T.O. Even though last season was considered a down year, the man still went over 1,000 yards. Only once in the last nine seasons has Owens failed to go over the 1,000-yard mark, and he put up 763 in just seven games played that year ('05 with Philly). 

He is a beast. 

But signing him would be contrary to everything Jerry Angelo & Co. have proven to be about. They are not going to go out there and overpay for veterans in the tail end of their careers. The Bears have shown that their philosophy is to build through the draft, add depth through free agency (see offensive lineman Frank Omiygale, the Bears lone free agent signing thus far), and not panic even when it seems like the wheels are coming off.

Owens, while still formidable, is 35. How many more years can he play at the same caliber? He needs to go to a team built to win it all now. A team with a veteran QB who's already won and won't fall prey to T.O.'s power plays.

That ain't our beloved Bear.

Watch him go to New York and replace Plaxico. T.O. on Broadway. Let Eli Manning deal with him. Kyle Orton has enough to worry about next year without T.O.
