Smith Doesn't Want To Be Terrell's Keeper

Denver Post - The man some have preordained the guardian angel for Terrell Owens - should the Broncos acquire the controversial Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver - is balking at such a notion.

Rod Smith said Tuesday he wouldn't have a problem with Owens becoming his teammate, but he doesn't plan to be T.O.'s keeper.

"One person can't influence a grown man," Smith said Tuesday, his first comments about the issue since Owens met with coach Mike Shanahan on Jan. 30 in Denver.

Smith chuckled when asked if he had heard teammates and media say Owens would be a good fit with the Broncos because Smith is a strong leader who could keep him in line.

"You just can't expect one person to have that type of control or influence on a person," the veteran wide receiver said. "That's just the way it is."

Would he object if Denver were to trade for or sign Owens?

"I'm for anything that helps the team, and if that would help the team, I'd be for it," Smith said. "I wouldn't have a problem with it." [READ]
