Why Terrell Owens Fits With Buffalo
By
When we made a list of possible destinations for Terrell Owens, Buffalo didn’t even crack the top seven. But that’s where he signed a one-year, $6.5 million contract on Saturday.
While the fit sounds nutty, it actually makes sense for Buffalo. Bear with me here.
The Bills have been desperate to find more offensive firepower under Dick Jauron. They have an elite vertical receiver in Lee Evans and a deep backfield, but they are very thin after that. Trent Edwards remains a promising young quarterback, but he doesn’t have enough weapons.
Owens will provide that weapon, provided he doesn’t blow up Edwards’ career. Evans will see more single coverage and Buffalo’s running game will see fewer defenses geared up to stop them.
Buffalo wasn’t listed as a likely destination because they usually value character highly and don’t often pay big money to free agents. But they know it’s time to take a gamble.
