NFL Rumors & Notes by Ben Maller 03/15/06...

While it seems highly unlikely the Pats would pursue a player as divisive and highly paid as Terrell Owens, Keyshawn Johnson makes a lot of sense. The 6-foot-4, 214-pounder’s style of play very much fits the Patriots mold - big, strong, tough and willing to block in the running game. He would provide an excellent complement to the smaller, speedier Branch. Jerome Stanley, Johnson’s agent, did not return calls seeking comment.

Chiefs coach Herm Edwards said the Chiefs had no plans to meet with Terrell Owens. “We haven’t had that conversation,” Edwards said. “We haven’t talked about it. We don’t know what that situation is, so we’ll just have to see. “We haven’t talked to his people since the Senior Bowl (in January). Nothing has transpired since that. We’re open to listening to everybody. That’s what you have to be able to do in free-agency. You have to be a good listener.”
----------------------------------------
Team officials had been telling reporters covering the Cowboys that they didn't envision signing T.O.; yesterday, those reporters were told there was no connection between axing Keyshawn and adding T.O., but apparently, no one flat-out said an Terrell Owens signing couldn't happen. Drew Rosenhaus met with Dallas coach Bill Parcells at the NFL scouting combine last month.
----------------------------------------
Now that Terrell Owens has been released, he and Drew Rosenhaus can negotiate any contract terms they wish with any club. Owens probably will have to accept an incentive-laden deal with relatively little guaranteed money. The Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos and Dolphins appear to be among the front-runners to sign him and the Kansas City Chiefs and New York Jets also have been mentioned as possibilities. Rosenhaus declined to comment. "I'm not going to say anything about the situation until it's resolved," he said.
