Jason La Canfora of the NFL Network reports that a St. Louis Rams official has referred to ESPN's report that the Rams are "in serious pursuit" of free agent wide receiver Terrell Owens as being "overzealous".

As I wrote 90 minutes or so ago, "the Rams are still a year or two from contending for the NFC West title, so their interest in Owens is as perplexing as his interest in joining them".

Owens' agent Drew Rosenhaus has been around too long to just jump at opportunities for T.O. Once teams open up camp, and Player A gets sidelined with an injury, or Player B is taking longer than expected to get back up to speed after an injury, Owens is going to be called to step in.

Signing with the Rams at this point would make little to no sense.
