CINCINNATI - Is the locker room at Paul Brown Stadium big enough for two of the NFL's most colorful players?
The Cincinnati Bengals have agreed to a contract with receiver Terrell Owens, who is expected to report to training camp in a couple of days, a person familiar with the situation tells The Associated Press.
Owens will join a receiving corps that includes former "Dancing With The Stars" competitor Chad Ochocinco, known for his post-touchdown displays of enthusiasm.
Ochocinco is one of Owens' close friends, and welcomed him on his Twitter feed.
Ochocinco lobbied for the team to sign Owens and has dubbed the two of them Batman and Robin.
Owens wanted to play for the Bengals, who offered a deal on Monday looking to add another deep threat to their offense.
He accepted the offer on Tuesday, said the person who confirmed the deal, speaking on condition of anonymity because the team had made no announcement.
The Bengals report for training camp Wednesday in Georgetown, Ky. And Owens is expected to arrive for the first day of workouts Thursday.
