The Facts:
We know Carson Palmer and Chad Ochocinco wanted to bring Terrell Owens to Cincinnati. Bengals owner Mike Brown has his fingerprints all over the move. But was Marvin Lewis in favor of adding the Siskel to Ochocinco's Ebert? Bob Glauber of Newsday reports that HC Marvin Lewis privately "had more reservations" than he's let on. He wasn't entirely in favor of the move.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
"He's got big concerns," a source with "direct knowledge" of Lewis' mindset told Glauber (via PFT). "T.O. is more than just a receiver, and Marvin is aware of the potential for problems." As PFT's Greg Rosenthal went on to suggest that Lewis' ability to handle players is probably one reason why Brown was confident in adding Owens/ Palmer's experience in handling "divas" might be another positive. Nonetheless, it's safe to say Lewis understands the dangers of adding T.O. to an already volatile mix and it would be hard to argue the coach's concerns are unfounded. It will be a situation we watch closely in coming weeks
