Johnny Manziel, Vince Young and others have all been discussed.<\/p>\n<p>But what about Terrell Owens?<\/p>\n<p>T.O. is currently attempting to make a NFL Hall of Fame bid, and he&#8217;d be entertaining to watch, if anything, which is what the XFL is all about. It doesn&#8217;t appear that he&#8217;s interested, though.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Absolutely not,\u201d Owens <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sportingnews.com\/nfl\/news\/terrell-owens-xfl-return-vince-mcmahon-wide-receiver\/bmhztel2bujp1wt46ztslnx7h?utm_source=dlvr.it&amp;utm_medium=twitter\">said<\/a>,\u00a0via Vinnie Iyer of Sporting News. \u201cThe XFL is two years away. Vince McMahon, he had a run at that in 2001 and it didn\u2019t really do so well.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t foresee it being a great success unless they make some drastic changes to bring together some quality talent and bring together a quality game. That&#8217;s what it&#8217;s about. He can&#8217;t make a mockery of football. He&#8217;s looking at it like a business, but you need to have quality with that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Owens is still in great shape, but it doesn&#8217;t look like he&#8217;s coming out of retirement anytime soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WWE chairman and CEO Vince McMahon is set to reboot the XFL in 2020, and it appears football fans will&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":790816,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[703638416,231608556],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.2 (Yoast SEO v22.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Will Terrell Owens join the XFL?
