Carson Palmer Says He'd Love To Throw To Terrell Owens, Antonio Bryant

Wide receiver Terrell Owens was released by the Bills in February after a one-year experiment. Once the NFL's free agency period kicked off Friday, rumors abounded that the Bengals wanted him. Carson Palmer has added validity to these rumors.

"I’d love to," texted Palmer when asked about the possibility of throwing to Owens. "His past doesn’t bother me at all. If any qb can deal with extravagant wrs, it’s me."

Palmer has already corresponded with Antonio Bryant and says he’s willing to reach out to Owens as they go through the free-agent process. Bryant, 29, is seen as the best young receiver left on the unrestricted free agent market and is two years removed from an 83-catch season.

Our Bengals blog, Cincy Jungle, has already weighed in on the possibility of acquiring Antonio Bryant:

One player I keep stumbling upon is Antonio Bryant.  While Bryant was injured last season, his 2008-09 season was incredibly productive (83 catches, 1200-plus yards, seven touchdowns).  Considering the Bengals distinct lack of depth at the wide receiver position, couple with Bryant's ability to play well with a decent quarterback (Jeff Garcia was his quarterback for the majority of the season), it would be worth seeing if he could play well with Carson Palmer.

Antonio Bryant. The blogger wants him. The quarterback wants him. Who else matters? Make it happen!
