Move over, Manziel: Terrell Owens 'absolutely' has interest in CFL

Maybe Terrell Owens will attend his Canadian Football Hall of Fame ceremony in 2035.

That's assuming the former NFL receiver's interest in playing in the CFL is genuine, despite being 44 years old and out of pro football since 2012.

But Owens did activate a procedural window requiring the Edmonton Eskimos -- the team that owns his rights -- to offer him a contract to release him within 10 days.

Owens' agent told TSN his client "absolutely, 100 percent" wants to play in the CFL.

Last month, Owens released a 40-yard dash video of himself, rivaling times of those who participated in the NFL Scouting Combine this spring.
