Recommended Posts

T.O.'s flight from Los Angeles was scheduled to arrive at Cincinnati Northern Kentucky Airport around 7 a.m., but Owens reportedly missed his flight.

A news conference scheduled for 11:45 a.m. has been canceled after Owens missed the flight. T.O. was supposed to be formally introduced by Brown and get to talk to the news media and his fans, but that has been postponed for now.

Owens is now scheduled to arrive in the Tri-State around 2:30 p.m.

"Y'all don't even understand what's going to happen this year," Ochocinco said, wearing a gray shirt that had "Hollywood" written across the front in bright green letters. "I think to myself: When's the last time you had two receivers on the same field of this caliber on the same team at the same time?

"This is going to be scary."

[size="5"][b]Terrell Owens a late arrival to Bengals camp[/b]
[/size]Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on July 29, 2010 9:27 AM ET

The "T.O. Show" will not air at its regularly scheduled time on Thursday.

[url="http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpages/player_main.aspx?sport=NFL&id=718"]Terrell Owens[/url] [url="http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/38455673/ns/sports-nfl/"]missed his overnight flight to Cincinnati[/url], forcing the team to reschedule an introductory press conference that was scheduled late Thursday morning.

[b]Owens caught a later flight Thursday and the Bengals will break out the popcorn for T.O. after their evening practice. [/b]It's uncertain if Owens will practice tonight or step on the field tomorrow.

The rest of the Bengals, including [url="http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpages/player_main.aspx?sport=NFL&id=2003"]Antonio Bryant[/url], were expected to hit the field Thursday morning.

We'll update you shortly on what Owens had for his in-flight meal.

[b][size="4"]Harbaugh: Marvin Lewis "doesn't need our sympathy" for Ochocinco and T.O.


[/size][/b]
With the Cincinnati Bengals signing Terrell Owens on Tuesday, the defending AFC North champions have two of the most talkative players in the league in Owens and Chad Ochocinco.

That could become a headache for Marvin Lewis, the Bengals coach and former Ravens defensive coordinator.

Asked if he feels for Lewis, coach John Harbaugh said with a chuckle, "Marvin doesn't need our sympathy. He's not looking for it."

Harbaugh said the move helps the Bengals.

"Obviously, it makes them better," he said. "It's a better Bengals team than it was yesterday."

Harbaugh was an assistant coach with the Philadelphia Eagles when Owens played there.

"I really like TO. I think he's a really good player," Harbaugh said. "He's a guy we enjoyed being around for a couple years in Philly. I have a lot respect for him."

I don't know if this has been posted elsewhere yet or not, but here are the specific's of TO's contract:

Base = $2M for 1 year

Incentives = $333K for achieving each of the following 6 thresholds:
60 receptions 100 receptions 900 yards 1,300 yards 10 TDs 14 TDs

Total Possible Salary = $4M

Source: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/07/27/owens-needs-to-improve-to-reach-incentives/

IMO, 60 catches and 900 yards are within reach. 10 TDs will be a challenge. 100-1300-14 are nice brass rings but I'll be surprised if he achieves more than one of these. I hope I'm wrong.
[/quote]
In that case I sure as hell hope the Bengals end up paying TO $4 million for this season. Apparently TO thinks those numbers are within reach since his starting asking price was $5 million and he gave the Bengals a discount.

[b]Breaking down the incentives[/b]
We reported yesterday that Terrell Owens’ contract had a base salary of $2 million with another $2 million in incentives.

Owens’ agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said that the incentives should be able to be reached. On Wednesday ESPN’s Adam Schefter revealed the numbers that Owens needs to reach. Each of the incentives are worth $333,000.


[b]TIER ONE[/b]
[list][*]60 catches: In Owens’ 14 previous seasons, there are only three times when he hasn’t reached that — 2009 with Buffalo (55), 2005 with Philadelphia (47 in only seven games) and 1996 with San Francisco (his rookie season with 35).[*]900 receiving yards: Reached 10 times, the exceptions were 2009 with Buffalo (829), 2005 with Philadelphia (763 in seven games), 1999 with San Francisco 754) and his rookie season (520).[*]10 touchdowns: Reached eight times.[/list]
[b]TIER TWO[/b]
[list][*]100 catches: Only reached once (2002 with San Francisco with 100).[*]1,300 receiving yards: Been reached four times, most recently in 2007 with Dallas (1,355)[*]14 touchdowns: Reached five times, most recently in 2007 with Dallas (15).[/list]There has been only one time that Owens has reached all six incentives — 2002 with San Francisco.

Based on his/our past, here are my quick expectations for TO this season:

(1) Palmer has targeted his #2 WR an average of 7.8 times per game since his 2nd season as a starter (2005)
(2) I anticipate that TO will actually be on the field for 14.5 games - he might miss a game due to injury and a net half-game due to starters not playing or for disciplinary reasons
(3) TO has historically caught 55% of his targets and IIRC he has averaged 14.8 YPC.

Combining (1) + (2) gives TO 113 targets. Combining that with (3) gives 62 catches for 920 yards. No idea how many TD's to project, but it looks like the first reception (60) and yardage (900) incentives are spot on.
