One of the best wide receivers to ever step on an NFL field is having some major problems with the Internal Revenue Service off of it.
According to TMZ, a federal tax lien was filed against Terrell Owens in February. The IRS alleges he owes $438,913.52 after failing to pay $294,661.71 in 2005, $46,504.00 in 2007 and $97,747.81 in 2009.
After 15 years the league Owens has been unable to find a team that will sign him after being let go by the Cincinatti Bengals after the 2010 season. That year he played in 14 games and caught 72 passes for 983 yards and 9 touchdowns, proving he could still play at a high level.
In 2011, Owens had surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in one of his knees. That, along with the fact that he developed a reputation for being a bad influence in the locker room may have scared teams off from signing him.
