One time Eagle Terrell Owens signed a one year deal with the Buffalo Bills after being released by the Dallas Cowboys two days ago. Owens, who wore out his welcome first in San Francisco, then Philadelphia, and most recently in Dallas brings his incredible, but diminished talent to a team struggling to regain the prominence it once held in the AFC East.
This is actually a smart move on Buffalo’s part. New England and possibly Miami may have taken a shot at signing him, so they beat them to the punch. He can still be productive and will give Bills quarterback Trent Edwards a legitimate big play receiver to throw to. The smartest part of the move is only signing him to a one year deal. This is where his past three teams made a mistake, thinking he could provide more than one season before his selfish behavior drove a wedge right down the middle of their team.
My prediction is that T.O will have a Pro Bowl year because they will throw to him thirty times a game. There are no Super Bowl aspirations for Buffalo, so it can be all about him. Unfortunately, the Bills will be tricked into thinking the same thing that T.O.’s past teams did, that he has changed his ways and is now a team player. My advice to the Bills is to enjoy your year with T.O. as he will definately help you make some noise in the AFC East, but do yourself a favor and send him packing as soon as the whistle blows on your final game.
