    Re: Source: Bills want Owens in for visit

    This would be one of the worst possible moves the Bills could make. The last thing one of the youngest teams in the league needs is a personality that makes an effort to turn players against players and players against coaches.

        I have mixed feelings on this if true. One part of me does not want TO here and would hate it if it happened but another part of me likes it. A signing of this magnitude would at least show effort by the Front Office to improve.

        I could live with a one year deal.

          As evidenced by his time in Dallas, as long as the team is winning he is a fine person both inside and outside of the locker room. Start losing and he is a completely different person.

          Can Buffalo win enough to keep him happy? Consecutive 7-9 seasons isn't going to cut it with this guy and slowly but surely you'll start to see the team come apart at the seams. Also, he is going to command a hefty salary, likely more than he's worth. Thus, I really don't think that he's worth it if you're Buffalo. There's a good reason why damn near half the teams in the league have come out and said they aren't interested, some without ever having even been asked.

            A one year deal isn't possible with Owens.

            The only positive thing that would come from this for Buffalo is that it will get the national media talking about Buffalo, something that in my opinion is much needed.

              WOW!!!!!!!!

              Okay, so in reality, I have mixed feelings about this. This team hasen't been to the playoffs in forever, and I doubt this season is going to be any different. But Terrell Owens is the one available player who might actually make the playoffs a reality.

              No, I don't like Terrell Owens. At all. He will create a huge circus here. But you know what? I actually don't care at this point. I might enjoy a circus more than a heartless effortless team that I've been watching the past few years.

                Why is a one year deal not possible?

                    I am not a fan by any means but can you imagine Evans, TO, and Pettigrew (if drafted)

                      That simply isn't how Owens and Rosenhaus work.

                      Like Rosenhaus always says, it only takes one team showing interest to create a market, and even though half the teams in the league have openly come out and said that they have no interest I can assure you that there are enough teams interested to garner a multi-year deal for T.O.

                      If Buffalo were a real contender I might see it, but to put up with the losing and lack of production from the QB that he's going to have to put up with he's going to want to get paid.

                      At 35 he's looking for another payday, and I assure you that he'll get that payday from someone.

                        If no one else wants him and Buffalo makes an offer he may accept a 1yr or 2yr deal, who knows, we'll see

                          I believe Rosenhaus when he says that they have already received calls from multiple teams. I assure you that there is a market for T.O. that extends beyond Buffalo.
