Terrrell Owens was washed up, too old, even in 2012.
The Seahawks had serious talks with Kaepernick in spite of the kneeling controversy. Pete Carroll didn’t care at all about the kneeling. The Seahawks really, truly wanted him, but they would only offer backup QB money, albeit it would have been the top salary for a backup In the league. Kaepernick, who previously had a huge starter salary, wanted starter money.
It was Colin Kaepernick who turned the Seahawks down.

Owens is probably not being blackballed. He’s just old for the game.
One can only hope it’s true. Here’s to a thug free NFL!
Warren Moon said the same stuff about black quarterbacks not getting a fair sake. This was BEFORE and AFTER he beat his wife. Why the media gives them the time of day is a mystery. Maybe they really do believe them. Unless of course they are disturbers of the excrement.
No. You’re a lousy player in the same league as KaperKnee and cause nothing but turmoil in the locker room. Plus you’re overage (44).
No one wants a prima donna, especially one that’s past their prime.
The desire of each team—and the NFL as a whole—to make money and turn a profit...
I will be so glad when the nfl and nba are dead and buried.
Stopped watching professional sports years ago.
At 44 your body says “Nope! Can’t do that again”
You ain’t being black balled.
I’m 66 and overweight I’ve been blackballed toob can I get some money too.
Are you and I the same person? I wrote what you did on so many different forums, excepting the thing about TO who was old in 2012 as you said. I too no longer support the Seahawks, or any team in the NFL. They removed the veneer of “The Game”, I speak of Seattle and the entire NFL. It is impossible to be the same ba^^s to the walls supporter that I once was for 40 years of the Hawks existence, and really was since the 1950’s.
“He added, “It’s politics.”
Yep, it really does come down to that. Unfortunately the politics of most NFL fans don’t regard those who support cop killers very highly. You players had 3 choices: You could continue to at least appear non-political, and we would have been fine with that. You could have overtly supported cops, the military, and the United States, and we would have been thrilled with that. Or you could have been anti-American.
You guys chose the last option, and we simply don’t support that.
When the Cowboys finally cut him, I remember Bill Parcels saying that there are players who have a lot of talent but sometimes are such a pain in the ads it’s just not worth it . . .
does it seem that Pete Carroll is racist, because he will only sign black qb’s.???...and yes, he does not care about values, morals, or attitude, or hatred...same reasons I despised him as the USC coach and the same reasons I despise him as a pro coach.cheater thru and thru..
When the Denver Broncos took a knee early this year I changed the channel within about 10 seconds and they became the MFL team denver donkeys and I have not watched a MFL game since. Make the kneelers pay. I probably won't watch anyway, but the advertisers will be hit really hard.
Of course the bastard did not care, he is a well known leftist.
bkmk
It’s not called “blackballed” any more: it’s “people of color-balled” or “African-American-balled”—or in Owens’ case, “dirtballed”.
The fact that I'm 63 and have bad knees is no excuse.
