Raiders GM Reggie McKenzie confirmed his team has no interest in veteran free agents Terrell Owens, Chad Johnson and Plaxico Burress. "It's not just (their) age," McKenzie said. "If the right player could add to the group ... we just didn't feel that those three were the right ones. Clear and simple. If I felt like they could have added something to what we were doing, I would have strongly considered it."

The Jets are not interested in free agent WR Terrell Owens, according to the Daily News. The Jets are desperate for playmakers on offense and are known to take risks with high-profile players. But even Rex Ryan and friends don't want any part of a 38-year-old Owens. His on-field production is just no longer worth it.

Seahawks released WR Terrell Owens. Owens showed that he's over his 2011 ACL injury and can still fly down the football field, defeating coverage, but he dropped too many key balls in preseason games and simply didn't win a spot on Seattle's 53-man roster. The Seahawks are actually doing T.O. a favor by releasing him now. Although the odds seem long, Owens still has a chance to crack a Week 1 roster and get his full 2012 base salary guaranteed. He needs to find a taker first.

Team sources tell CBS Sports' Jason LaCanfora that Terrell Owens is "hardly assured" of making the Seahawks' roster. T.O. was the intended target on five of Matt Flynn's seven incompletions Saturday night, including a drop on a perfectly thrown 46-yard bomb in the end zone. At least two other incompletions were the result of miscommunication, which coach Pete Carroll considers "most understandable" due "just two weeks of practice." Carroll suggested Owens has been "very much on point" and has caught a lot of deep balls in camp. "I know that he can make those plays for us," said Carroll, "and it's unfortunate we didn't get it right off the bat." The head coach certainly seems to be in T.O.'s corner with two preseason games remaining.

Terrell Owens will make his Seahawks debut Saturday night in Denver. "I didn't think it was fair for a guy to come in and play after one week, especially after sitting out a whole year," coach Pete Carroll said, explaining T.O.'s absence last week. "He feels great, he wants to play and I see that he looks very competitive on the field, he didn't fatigue at all in any of the days, so he's ready to go."

Matt Flynn complemented Terrell Owens' "smoothness" after watching him on the practice field so far in training camp. In other words, there's no hitch in Owens' step as he comes back from major 2011 knee surgery. "He's very smooth," said Flynn. "... He's obviously a physical specimen. Big guy, big hands, big strong hands. And he got out there the first day and ran some some routes that aren't easy to just get out there and run your first day and haven't run them in a while. Ran them smoothly. I could read him out of his break, so it was good."

Profootballtalk reports Terrell Owens received no signing bonus from the Seahawks and no portion of his $925,000 salary is guaranteed. Braylon Edwards, on the other hand, received $270,000 in guarantees despite a contract under the minimum-salary benefit program. If the Seahawks opt to cut T.O., he won't collect a dime. As long as Owens keeps his mouth shut and contributes on the field, the contract should be a non-issue.

Terrell Owens practiced at flanker after arriving to Seahawks training camp on Wednesday. It's Sidney Rice's position, and a near-certain indication of the Seahawks' concern with the incumbent starter, who's coming back from several shoulder surgeries and concussions. Owens has been a split end his entire career, so it appears Seattle is moving him to replace Rice. Golden Tate is the Seahawks' split end. We tentatively expect those two to be the Week 1 starters.

According to GM John Schneider, the Seahawks timed Terrell Owens at 4.43 and 4.45 in the forty at 220 pounds before signing him. "Here is a 38-year-old man that came in, weighed 220 pounds, and ran 4.45, 4.43 and once he did that ... I didn't see that coming," Schneider conceded. "... He ran really well, dropped his hips really well, worked his way back to the ball, didn't drop a ball and was really quite impressive." Schneider also hinted that Owens, as expected, will be on a zero-tolerance policy in Seattle.

Updating a previous item, ESPN's Ed Werder reports that 38-year-old receiver Terrell Owens ran a 4.45 forty during his Monday workout for Seattle. Initial reports had Owens at "sub-4.5," but Werder has the exact time, assuming his source is being honest. The major knee injury that kept Owens out of the league for all of 2011 may be his biggest 2012 fantasy concern. T.O. can obviously still run for a big man. We wouldn't be surprised if Owens led the Seahawks in receiving this year. He can be targeted as a WR4/5 in fantasy drafts.
