Former NFL wide receiver Terrell Owens told TMZ Sports on Monday he believes he's being blackballed by the NFL like Colin Kaepernick.

"What's stopping Colin Kaepernick from being in the league?" Owens said, when asked why he hasn't returned to the gridiron. "Owners, general managers, it's all about an opportunity. Same thing with Colin. You trying to tell me he can't play in the league right now?

"It's politics. I appreciate the years that I played, but now life goes on."

Owens, 44, hasn't suited up since he was with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2010.
