Bengals contact Owens, agent

STAFF REPORT

Unrestricted free-agent wide receivers Terrell Owens and Antonio Bryant are visiting Paul Brown Stadium on Tuesday about the possibility of signing with the Bengals, according to team officials.

Owens' agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told Sirius NFL Radio on Friday that the Bengals have spoken with him and Owens.

"Where we go from here I'm not sure but I think it's at least a positive dialogue," Rosenhaus said. "And we represent another great receiver on Cincinnati in Chad Ochocinco who would love to have No. 81 as his teammate. And we'll just see how that plays out. But certainly that's something that is a possibility. I guess that's about the most I can say right now."

Aside from Owens, the only other free-agent receivers of note remaining on the market are Bryant and Chris Chambers. The Bengals inquired about Bryant, but the Dolphins are widely considered the favorite to land him.

On Friday, Baltimore acquired Anquan Boldin in a trade from Arizona, Detroit signed Nate Burleson and former Bengal Kevin Walter re-signed with Houston.

In other Bengals-related free-agent news, tight end Chris Baker, who was released by New England on Thursday, was expected to visit Cincinnati this week.

And National Football Post reported that the Bengals also have an interest in offensive guard Chester Pitts of the Texans.

Last Thursday, the Bengals officially released veteran receiver Lavernaues Coles, making him an unrestricted free agent.
