What a surprise, and I mean that with the most sincerity. Who would have thought this is where TO would elect to go? I have heard the interview the interview countless times with who I think is his agent or someone close to him. In the interview, the person claims there was a good market for Terrell. He asserts he wouldn't have gotten his $6.5 mil unless there was a good market. I have to laugh at this comment because $6.5 mil for a player like Owens is not a lucrative contract, not to mention Buffalo is the one who offered it.
From Buffalo's point of view, I can see how TO could be a reasonable answer. There less than average club needs a pick me up, and who better to do that than a star caliber player? Lets face it, TO is a monster down the field. He is one of the top five receivers in the league (as far as talent and athleticism go). You can't deny that he is a great football player, but his baggage comes along with this talent. I honestly don't think it's going to be an issue this season because he is going to want to prove something to the sports world. He is going to have a positive influence in Buffalo this next NFL season.

The Bills suddenly have a very potent offense. However, I still maintain that they should be a run first team. With their huge offensive line a mean runner in Marshawn Lynch, Buffalo should be able to impose their will on defenses. Lee Evans and now TO will be good compliments to a power running game. However, I think Owens has fallen out of the top 5 wide outs in the league. If I were to rank them I would go:
