Terrell Owens visited his former Cincinnati Bengals teammate, Chad Johnson, in jail today. These two were some of the most loud and flashy wide receivers in the game back in the day, but now they are aging veterans that are looking to try and hang on to the last piece of NFL glory that they can. Both receivers are hoping to have one more shot at NFL love.
Just visited the homie @ochocinco. He's in good spirits, he needs a haircut already tho. Lol. He sends his best regards to everyone.

That was the 1st time ever visiting someone in jail & hopefully the last. That's not a place anyone wants to be regardless of how many days.

I really didn't know what to expect but to see the homie locked up is a very humbling experience, to talk to him via vid conference let me

know that's not where anyone wants to be. I know he's only in the county jail but to someone that has never been locked up...Jail is Jail!

It is good that Chad has a few people looking out for him while he is locked up. That must be a sad and lonely place. It is sad that he has to spend time behind bars for slapping his attorney on the butt. I guess it is time for Chad to start taking some things seriously though.
I honestly don’t know if anyone will give these guys one more shot at playing in the NFL. It could be cool to see them out there one more time, but their time has run out.
