The word around the NFL is that superstar wide receiver Terrell Owens has agreed to a deal with the Cincinnati Bengals, following a one-year stint with the Buffalo Bills last season.

According to ESPN.com, an NFL source said that 36-year-old Owens agreed to a two-year, $2 million deal ... and another $2 million in incentives.

Apparently, the Bengals were Owens' first choice, because his good friend Chad Ochocinco is already there. The duo are already being dubbed Batman and Robin.

The Bengals reportedly made an offer on Monday (July 26), and Owens accepted a day later.

T.O. tweeted (@TerrellOwens) about the new deal late Tuesday: "Ocho Uno is coming 2 town!! Hey Robin, Batman will b there soon!"

He will make it official, signing papers when he arrives in Georgetown on Wednesday (July 28) to begin the team's training camp.

Throughout his career, Owens has had a long history of controversy. In Philadelphia, he badmouthed quarterback Donovan McNabb, and was accused of spitting in the face of Atlanta Falcons cornerback DeAngelo Hall during a game in December 2006.

Despite the baggage T.O. brings, Bengals coach Mike Brown doesn't care. He's given several players, with off-field issues second chances, and T.O. is no different.

"Yes, people can make mistakes," Brown said this week. "It doesn't mean that they go on the rest of their lives making mistakes. They can get their ship pointed in the right direction. This is a 36-year-old man. He's been through a lot. He's proven as a player and as a person."

The Bengals hope to upgrade a passing game with the addition of Owens. They had NFL's worst last season, ranking 26th. They still managed to clinch their division with a record of 10-6, but lost in the first round of the playoffs against the New York Jets.
