Terrell Owens won't play for former Cowboys receivers coach Todd Haley.
In an interview with 96.5 The Buzz in Kansas City, T.O. dismissed the idea of playing for the Chiefs.
"Me and Todd Haley, we don't get along," Owens said of Haley, the head coach of the Chiefs who was Owens' receivers coach in Dallas in 2006.
But Owens told Boston's WJMN Radio that playing for the Patriots would be easier.
"I'd definitely be open to that," he said. "I mean, you've got (Tom) Brady there. You've got the great mind, coach (Bill) Belichick," Owens said. "I'm like LeBron. I can go there and take less of a role, take less money and put everything aside and make it work."
Owens would like to point out that he's never been disciplined by the NFL for off-field conduct, unlike some of the league's "golden boys."
Shanahan rules out Owens
Mike Shanahan made it clear that you can add the Redskins to the list of teams not interested in T.O.'s services.
Shanahan appeared on New York's WFAN Thursday afternoon, and he was asked yet again about Owens -- who has mentioned the Redskins as a team he'd like to join twice in recent weeks.
"I made a commitment relative to T.O., that we were not gonna go in that direction," Shanahan said. "There's a lot of factors involved, but bottom line is...."
Well, we're not quite sure what the bottom line is, because Shanahan's cell phone cut out. One thing seems certain, there will be no T.O.-Donovan reunion in Washington this year.
Beason no fan of T.O.
Panthers linebacker Jon Beason also wants no part of Owens.
During a chat on NFL.com, the fellow Drew Rosenhaus client made his feelings clear.
“There’s no way T.O. could be a Panther,” Beason wrote. “Based on the fact that our ownership and coaches believe that the locker room is important and based on T.O.’s history, for whatever reason, he’s been a distraction in the locker room.”
