The Hall of Famer last played in the NFL in 2010 with the Cincinnati Bengals; if he ever returns, he would be the oldest player in NFL history, surpassing George Blanda, who suited up for the Oakland Raiders at age 48 in 1975.
Owens spent three seasons (2006-2008) with the Cowboys, and his agent, Gregory DL Daniel, said he was in “constant communication” with the team.
“Terrell is ready to contribute and play any role, big or small,” Gregory DL Daniel told Sports Illustrated. “He’s in great shape. He doesn’t look any different than he did years ago. I watched him run sprint routes with DeSean [Jackson] and it looked great. She didn’t drop a pass.”
Daniel also claimed that Owens recently ran a 4.50 40-yard dash, “which was his warm-up.”

“He’s a legend. We want to make history and see him break these records. If anyone can do it, it’s him,” added Daniel. “His three D’s from him are desire, dedication and discipline. He embodies that every day, even running down hills at 3am on Christmas morning.”
The Cowboys were in talks to bring in Odell Beckham Jr., and after owner Jerry Jones said he would “join us,” he changed, saying it was “unrealistic” for Beckham to wear the star on his helmet.
