The Waggle Extra: Owens opens up ahead of LD matchup against former club

TORONTO — After six years as a visitor, Chad Owens is about to enter Mark’s Labour Day Weekend with the crowd behind him.

In a very candid interview with ‘The Waggle‘, Owens talks about coping with leaving Toronto for Hamilton, the pressures felt during his NFL career and his brief foray into the world of MMA fighting.

Hosts James Cybulski and Davis Sanchez pressed Owens on the departure from the team he had become synonymous with and how the feelings he had in the off-season and the feelings he has now are quite different.

“They were looking to replace me, go younger, cheaper, I get it,” Owens said in the interview.  “But I have an opportunity in Hamilton.  I’m loving it and I love my teammates. I am in a good place mentally, physically and I am excited on where we are going as a team.”
