The Cincinnati Enquirer reported that the Bengals made an official offer Monday and hope to have Owens' answer by Wednesday. That's when the Bengals are scheduled to report to training camp in Georgetown, Ky., with the first practice set for Thursday.

Owens will not have to make a decision about possibly joining the St. Louis Rams. A team source told NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora that the Rams, who were two of several teams that had maintained contact with Owens this offseason, decided against offering him a deal.
