Chad Johnson, Terrell Owens ask Giants for a WR job following Odell Beckham's ankle injury

Chad Ochocinco Johnson hasn't played in the NFL since 2011, but he appears to be ready to play again.

The 39-year-old receiver sent a tweet to the Giants following their several wide receiver injuries, highlighted by Odell Beckham. The Giants say Beckham has a broken ankle, which would mean he's going to miss the rest of the season. So, Johnson said, "What's up?"

In addition to Beckham, receivers Brandon Marshall, Sterling Shepard and Dwayne Harris were all hurt. Harris has a broken ankle, which keeps him out for likely the whole season. Marshall has a sprained ankle and was carted off the field. Shepard suffered an ankle injury, although the severity looks unclear.


There's no doubt the Giants will be looking at the free agent market to add a receiver, but Johnson would me a major longshot. He's probably half-joking with his job request anyways.
As for the Giants, it will be interesting to see who they add at receiver with so many injuries.


UPDATE: Turns out Terrell Owens wants a job, too.

Hey @Giants let me know if you need an interim wide receiver!

Owens said earlier this year it's "a joke" he wasn't on an NFL roster to begin the season, and claims he can run a 4.4 40-yard dash.

Sure. Why not? What do the Giants have to lose?

There is literally 50 guys sitting on the sidelines that are 22-26years old that can run 4.30 40

Maybe Kap wants to be a WR

wonder if owens has an ounce of remorse for being such a dickhead..

Definitely does. Seen a clip of him sobbing on his reality tv show about that

Both are old and can't play at this level clearly. They would look ok in practice and terrible in games. T.O. had a good year in Cincinnati in his last year though, 7 years ago. 9 tds in 14 games. Almost 1,000 yards

Might as well get Kaepernick and run the pistol

Eli is such a pussy . Should be doing clapper commercials
