T.O’s return won’t be forced by Buffalo

[patmoran2006]

The chances of Terrell Owens returning to the Buffalo Bills in 2010 are slim. The aging receiver had one of the worst years of his career in terms of production and though he behaved nobly during his one-year tenure, it’s not exactly government science that he’s expected to sign elsewhere come March.

By league rule there’s always the option of placing the franchise or transition tag on him, making it a near-lock he’d be back in the Bills’ fold. But we’re going to go on a limb and predict that’s not happening.

Mike Garafolo of the Newark Star-Ledger published Friday the price tags that will accompany franchise and transition players. Owens would cost Buffalo $9.521 million if franchised or $8.651 million to transition.

*IF* he WANTED to come back... id take him back... but in no way should we persuade him to come back

Why would we want him back? He did nothing.

I don't think that's going out on any limb at all.

Not many people expect the Bills to resign him.

Did he do nothing? Or did our QB's just suck?

Re: T.O’s return won’t be forced by Buffalo

Owens did better i think then we could have expected with our poor QB play. I love how people are so quick to say we have a horrid offensive line, then say we have one of the worst starting QBs in the entire league and peewee football play calling..... BUT, then also laugh at Owens for struggling. LOL

Too funny.

Our QBs did nothing. There's a big difference.

If he did nothing what do you consider the much younger, payed more, Lee Evans did?

WR wasn't the problem. For the past 10 years QUARTERBACK has been the problem. It really is that simple.

TO was a bit of a victim through the play of the OL, the QB's and the play calling, but i figure he'd catch less flak if he didn't have the dropsies in the early middle part of the season.

it also didn't help that he totally gave up in the tennessee game. i've never seen an NFL player just totally give up in a game like that. you hear about dogging it, but that was obvious even to a casual fan that he simply didn't care.

I rarely saw him fight for underthrows.. I'd rather have a kid out there who wants the damn ball at all costs

Both.

Our QB's didn't help him much, but he had a ton of drops as well, most notably the sure TD along the sidelines that hit him in the hands.

Fair enough, but we still don't have a good QB and most likely won't when the season starts. If we do have one, it will be a rookie who will still need to learn.

So, why should a team with this many holes pay $6.5 million a year to a 36 year old WR?

It's such a simple concept but it is rarely comprehended around here.
It doesn't matter who the wr's are if your qb can't get the ball to them or your qb is running for his life the whole game !!!!!!!!

Owens will probably end up in New England.
