ALLEN, Texas – Terrell Owens has accepted an offer to play for and have an ownership stake in the Allen Wranglers of the Indoor Football League.

The Wranglers, who open their season Feb. 25 at home, extended the offer to Owens last month. The Bloomington Edge also play in the IFL, but do not play the Wranglers in the 2012 regular season.

Owens was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in the third round of the 1996 NFL Draft. He also played for the Eagles, Cowboys, Bills and Bengals. He ranks 2nd all-time in receiving yards with 15,934.

The 38-year-old Owens didn’t get any offers to play last season in the NFL after surgery on his left knee.
