Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Despite not playing last season and still recovering from knee surgery to repair a torn ACL, he believes he can be productive in not only the NFL, but any other league. Owens said that his knee is healthy enough for him to play. ... Of course, there was one team that did want Owens, the Allen Wranglers of the Indoor Football League, who signed him to play wide receiver. He will also have a 50 percent ownership in the franchise. Owens can make as much as $500,000 with the Wranglers. "It was an opportunity for myself and my family," Owens said. "It's a way for myself to keep in shape. I haven't retired from the NFL. I want to play a couple more years. This right here will allow me to do that and assess where I am. I know I'm physically fit to play the game still."
