Receiver Terrell Owens agreed to a contract with the Cincinnati Bengals on Tuesday and will report to training camp in a couple of days, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press. The Bengals were his first choice, giving him a chance to team with close friend Chad Ochocinco, who has already dubbed the pair Batman and Robin.

I am a huge Bengals fan and I think this move is very good for their receiving core. Last season they had very little to work with as far as starting receivers. They signed L. Coles last season to be the number two receiver but he didn't do much the entire season. Then they cut Coles this year signed A. Bryant who has not fully recovered from his knee injury. They still needed a consistent number two receiver to line up across from Ochocinco and IF Owens can mesh his ego into a team environment he could be just what the Bengals needed. If he can't coincide with the rest of the team, he was signed to a relatively cheap contract that was mostly incentive based so the Bengals could cut him without much repercussion.
