Raiders Coach Tom Cable Shoots Down Terrell Owens Rumors

At the start of free agency, agent Drew Rosenhaus said his client Terrell Owens was in "active discussions" with at least three teams (one of which we know was the Bengals). The weeks passed by and nothing came of those discussions until ESPN's John Clayton reported T.O.'s next stop "could" be Oakland. Like all the other rumors surrounding the Raiders, the team denied the reports.

Two months later and there have been no hard developments on the T.O. front. A few rumors popped up once again the other day suggesting T.O. could be headed for the Raiders.

Not so, says Raiders coach Tom Cable.

"We really haven't had any discussion about that," Cable said. "We've got a good, young receiving corps, it's never been a point of conversation."

It's hard to believe ESPN's John Clayton and others that have linked T.O. to the Raiders are just making it up but that's what Cable appears to insinuating.

Unfortunately for Cable, he's not the final decision-maker in Oakland so it's possible he's as out-of-the-loop as anyone.
