HC Mike Shanahan told ESPN's Ed Werder, however, that the Redskins are not actively pursuing Owens. A team source told ESPN the Redskins have made upgrading their wide receiver position a high priority, but prefer to avoid bringing Owens into their locker room if another solution can be found. ... That said, Shanahan -- then with the Broncos -- was among the few coaches interested in signing Owens when the Eagles released the receiver. The two met and Shanahan and was willing to sign to offer him a contract.
