Kassim Osgood to Partner Cheryl Burke in DWTS Season 10?

Are there cracks starting to appear in the DWTS producers' rumor fortifications?

Kassim Osgood, the larger-than-life wide receiver for the San Diego Chargers, tweeted:

"@CherylBurke1 is my new bestie!!!! If u could....I'd dance with THIS star!!! Stay tuned to Dancing With The Stars.... My new family!!!"

Dancing with the Stars has a thing about NFL players and Kassim would join Jerry Rice, Emmitt Smith, Jason Taylor, Warren Sapp, Lawrence Taylor and Michael Irvin as NFL stars who have treaded (not so) lightly on the dance floor.

I suspect this would give Cheryl a good chance at the trophy. She narrowly missed taking it for the third time in season 8 with Gilles Marini.

The cast will be officially announced on Monday, March 1 during the finale of The Bachelor.

Update: I'm told Kassim had just made friends with Cheryl and others, and was expressing his feeling of "family" with them. Ah, the number of miles one can wring from a tweet...
