As part of his child support case, which involves two baby mamas, 38-year-old Terrell Owens is required to submit paperwork showing his financial status.
Since Owens signed a tentative deal with the Seattle Seahawks around August 7th, he had to hand over his pay stubs — which show the he raked in $4,342.86 for 152 hours of rendered work with the football team.
Terrell Owens was reportedly set to make $925k if he made the team. However, he was cut off after he failed to impress in three pre-season games.
Previous reports stated that when Owens was in his prime, he signed a $49 million deal with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Baby mama of Terrell Owens: “T.O needs an NFL team”
August 29th, 2012 by faye
One of the baby mamas of NFL star Terrell Owens reportedly has her fingers crossed that the recently-fired football wide receiver lands a new National Football League team — so that she can keep getting paid.
According to previous reports, Melanie Paige Smith, the fourth baby mama of 38-year-old Terrell Owens filed legal docs earlier this month to block the request of the football star to lower his huge child support payments.
In the docs, the reasoning of Smith was based largely on the fact that Owens had recently landed a deal with the Seattle Seahawks, a deal that was close to a $1,000,000 — and therefore he could now afford to continue giving money for child support.
However, as of Sunday, that is no longer the case. Terrell Owens revealed on his Twitter page that he has been kicked out by the National Football League team and is currently working as a free agent.
Now, Randall Kessler, the attorney of Melanie Paige Smith, said that the career snag of Terrell Owens will not affect his client’s request to keep the child support payments coming — at least for now. Instead, Smith reportedly has her “fingers crossed that another team picks him up.”
Popularly known by his initials, T.O., Terrell Owens is as renowned for his extravagant touchdown celebrations and public persona as he is for his talent on the football field. His actions on and off the field have led to various league fines, as well as frequent penalties for his team.
Terrell Owens baby mama asks judge to dismiss child support reduction
August 16th, 2012 by faye
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Terrell Owens will now be able to pay $5,000 a month in child support after signing a new contract with the National Football League — this according to one of his baby mamas.
Reports stated that Melanie Paige Smith — one of the football star’s baby mamas — has just filed legal docs, asking the judge to dismiss the payment reduction request of Terrell Owens.
According to the legal docs filed by Smith’s lawyer Randall Kessler, Melanie claims, “It is clear that a downward modification of Terrell Owens’ child support obligation is not warranted,” because of his new contract with the Seattle Seahawks, as well as his income over the last five years — which Melanie Paige Smith estimates to be around $29,000,000.
Melanie added that Owens earned $7,000,000 playing for the Dallas Cowboys in 2007, signed a $13,000,000 contract with the Dallas Cowboys in 2008, signed a $6,500,000 with the Buffalo Bills in 2009, and signed a $2,000,000 deal with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2010.
Not only that. Melanie Paige Smith said that Terrell Owens also had an indoor football contract with the Allen Wranglers, which Melanie claims was six figures.
However, Terrell Owens was reportedly released from the Dallas Cowboys early. suffered from an injury during mid-season while playing for the Cincinnati Bengals, and was released from his Allen Wranglers deal after less than one year.
Meanwhile, previous reports have stated that Terrell Owens had filed legal docs last year, asking a judge to reduce the amount of his child support payments to four separate baby mamas — because he was unemployed at the time and is seriously strapped for cash.
But just last week, the NFL player signed a contract with the Seattle Seahawks as the team’s wide receiver — a deal reportedly worth almost $1,000,000.
Calls to Terrell Owens for comment have not been returned.
A six-time Pro Bowl selection, Owens holds or shares numerous National Football League records, and features in the all-time top-five in a number of receiving categories, including touchdowns and yards.
As productive as he has been, Terrell Owens has been equally controversial, creating firestorms with almost every team he has played for as a professional football player. Owens played college football and basketball at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, and was selected in the third round of the 1996 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers. Terrell Owens was then traded to the Philadelphia Eagles in 2004 after an argument with 49ers front office members. Two years later, he was released and signed to another large pact by the Dallas Cowboys, only to be given his unconditional release on March 4, 2009. Owens has also played for the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals in 2009 and 2010, respectively. He recently played for the Allen Wranglers of the Indoor Football League, before being released in 2012.
Terrell Owens pays up child support to his baby mama
July 20th, 2012 by faye
Former NFL wide receiver Terrell Owens has already paid the child support he owes to the mother of his seven-year-old daughter — making him avoid the threat of spending time behind prison bars.
According to the court documents, 38-year-old Owens appeared in Fulton County Superior Court in Atlanta on Thursday. Last week, the former football player failed to make an appearance for a court date in his child support case. The lawyer of Terrell Owens and a lawyer of his baby mama, Melanie Smith, had already come to an agreement before the hearing and signed it in front of the judge. Terrell Owens made the back payments in child support that he owes to Smith, and he also agreed to shoulder her legal fees.
“We’re pleased. It’s too bad it took this long,” Randy Kessler, the lawyer of Melanie Smith said after the agreement was signed. “If he’s not going to be there physically, he needs to be there financially.”
Terrell Owens left the court premises without talking to the reporters. A lawyer for the football star didn’t respond immediately to an email seeking comment.
The previous agreement requires Terrell Owens to pay Melanie Smith $5,000 a month. This was said to be the third case Smith has brought against the football star for not paying child support. In his previous cases, the former NFL player has settled and paid up child support even before the cases went to court, but then he failed to make successive payments.
Kessler added that his client, Melanie Smith, who lives in northwest Georgia, is happy to have the signed agreement, but would want Owens to be more involved in the life of their daughter.
“What she really wants is for him to have a relationship with his child,” Kessler said. Smith, who also made an appearance in court Thursday, said that her daughter has seen Terrell Owens about eight to ten times.
The football player has raised the possibility of lowering his monthly child support payments since he is no longer making an NFL salary. Kessler said that Smith is willing to discuss the matter.
Terrell Owens, who is known as T.O., played 15 years in the National Football League, most recently for the Cincinnati Bengals during the 2010 season. Before his single season with the Bengals, Owens played for the Buffalo Bills for one season, two seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, three seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, and eight seasons with the San Francisco 49ers.

The Hollywood Gossip reported that the woman decided to take several “action shots” of T.O. using the absurdly easy screen-grabbing function found on MacBook. That was pretty much the same way that the Tyson Beckford sex tape got out.
THG was only half-joking when the webloid broached up the slim possibility of Terrell Owens getting a cut of the profits from the sale of his nude photos. Owens wasn’t just broke; he was also jobless, having been fired from the indoor football team Allen Wranglers.

According to TMZ, the former NFL legend demanded that the Wranglers pay him $160,000 for 4 games that he did not get paid for. He also demanded that his former indoor football team apologize for alleging that Owens skipped a team charity event at a children’s hospital in Allen, Texas.

How the mighty have fallen. Once considered set for immortality in the NFL Hall of Fame, fallen footballer Terrell Owens was kicked out of an indoor football team.
TMZ reported that Owens was released by the Allen Wranglers of the Indoor Football League for keeping up the haughty ways he was known for in the NFL.
