[tragically fish]

http://blogs.nfl.com/2009/03/07/to-signs-one-year-deal-with-bills/

oh boy.

[avsfan21]

Oh this is going to put JP over the top. He will finally be better than Montana now that he has TO.

[Chevy Man 22]

hahaha one team nobody even thought about as a possible landing spot. Makes sense though with Lynch and his legal troubles they gonna have to make up the offense they lose somehow.


Guess Rosenhaus wasn't lying about having a deal done by the end of next week or sooner.

[Rexy]

Wow. Sorry Buffalo. Poor Trent.

[tragically fish]

Oh this is going to put JP over the top. He will finally be better than Montana now that he has TO.

I think JP is a UFA and Buffalo let him walk.

[sabressixx]

WHAT?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[agile_giant]

this will end in tears:p

[Chewdeezy]

Here comes the Bill's newest SP.

[Chevy Man 22]

Poor Lee Evans is more like it because he just went from being the main man in Buffalo to the # 2 WR that will see his touches cut at least in half.

[Kleptos18]

can't wait to see what Chugga has to say

[darkling21]

Sad, never thought they would sign him, nor he go there.

[coogrfan]

One year, huh? Pretty much puts the lie to Rosenhaus' claim of several teams wanting TO. :cool:

[ToightLikeATiger]

HAHAHA!!! TO is going to explode when Trent Edwards doesnt get him the ball enough. If TO couldnt get along with Garcia, McNabb and Romo who are far better QB's then he is going to have a meltdown with Edwards. As a Pats fan I love this!

[Poochiesdead]

As long as it's a one year deal they'll be fine. He is usually on his best behavior his first year with a team anyway.

[ptrac30]

Hysterical, no one was interested.

[Chachi]

Chugga may finally get a Bills sportspick!

[Frank Barone]

One year, huh? Pretty much puts the lie to Rosenhaus' claim of several teams wanting TO. :cool:
Agents are supposed to lie. Owens agent apparently lied, and Warner's agent lied... What's the big deal? :)

[madden821]

Hysterical, no one was interested.

Yep, that pretty much proves nobody else was interested.

[littlejacque25]

This will surely help Buffalo sell tickets.

[EDBSIP]

neither side will benefit from this

[Japericho]

Get ya popcorn ready!

[APM]

LOL. Canr wait till monday to listen to 550 an.

[smwomer48]

Now the Buffalo Bills have been diagnosed with the cancer that is T.O. Is he trying to set a record for locker rooms destroyed?

[raltherr]

Hahahaha.... I'm dying to see Chuggas reaction to this.

[Poochiesdead]

Hahahaha.... I'm dying to see Chuggas reaction to this.You'll have to wait a couple of days until he sobers up.

[Chevy Man 22]

Why does his agent automatically have to be lying is it not possible that several teams were involved without a multi year contract offer ? T.O. is like the Manny of the NFL nobody was going to give him a big multi year offer because of his actions in the locker room and off the field.

[Voodoo Chylde]

Oh wow! Now he's going to poison the AFC!

[Chugga]

No offensive line, no passing game, and 50 holes on defense and we pick up a disruptive WR. This signing makes plenty of sense.

There are games where Lee Evans is lucky to get even a single look and we are picking up a WR who won't be happy with anything fewer than 10? I could care less about character issues, I'd sign Michael Vick as long as we made sure his house had an electric fence. I'd sign David Boston as long as Trent Edwards took his piss tests. But TO is someone who NEEDS the ball and we've proved that getting the ball to our #1 WR is something that on occassion we simply can't do. I can't wait to see TO's reaction on the sidelines when Randy Moss has 4 TD's through 2 quarters on us and he hasn't seen a single ball thrown his way yet. I'm sure both sides thought of that scenario before putting this deal in writing.

The only good thing about signing TO is I feel like when things don't go his way (and believe me they won't) he'll tear that organization up from the bottom up and with any luck he might just take D-ck Jauron with him.

[Chugga]

As for the Bills next SP being TO that would be such a cop out and I really hope it doesn't happen. In the last few years we've had legends like Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, and the alltime sack leader Bruce Smith make it into the hall of fame and I swear if contract negotiations break down with one of them because Mcfarlane just found his Bills player quota for the next 5 years in a player who will be in and out of here within 12 months I'm going to be pissed.

[Voodoo Chylde]

Chugga brings up an interesting point. 49ers T.O.; Eagles T.O.; Dallas T.O.; Are these things REALLY selling that well?

[yzerman_federov]

Oh God, I can't believe this. I do NOT want that cancer on my team. Poor Evans and Edwards.

[Creation88]

if the bills weren't done before, they are now.

[Chewdeezy]

They have sold well but they would have to release it for this year in order to capitalize since it's only a 1 year deal. I think the only way he gets a figure is if they put it as a surprise figure.

[DEN7ER]

LOL at Trent Edwards... :D

[SacKingsFan]

Lynch is headed to the slammer and they sign TO, they really do want to move to Toronto don't they...

[Gunsnroses]

Might as well sign Michael Vick to throw to him.

[GMLBFan]

Maybe they'll trade his rights on draft day...Or is there a no-trade clause?

[Attack2000]

LOL, go Dolphins.

[Noleman]

I think its a great deal for Buffalo, TO always behaves himself his first year in a new place, so the Bills will get all the on field good stuff without the headaches.

[sabressixx]

what happens first..................does he knock Buffalo as a city or Edwards?

[Chevy Man 22]

He thought the media was bad in Philly and Dallas he has no clue lol

[MarvLevyshead]

For one year, I kinda like it.


Although it hell does break loose, I wouldn't mind Jauron heading out the door with him.

[coogrfan]

Of course not. But if there really were multiple teams interested, why would Rosenhaus have his client sign so quickly? After all, there's no hurry. Surely it would be better to spend some time playing the various teams off against one another in hopes of getting a better deal?

The only way signing this quickly makes sense is if it's the only deal out there.

[jonsoriano08]

Ahahahahaha!!!!

[utgrad92]

WHAT?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


Ditto! :eek:

[SeattleMariners51445]

Do the Bills feel that they're one locker-room cancer away from the Super Bowl?

[sabressixx]

“I’m leaving America’s team (for) North America’s team,” Owens said at a news conference.

great line though

[donbeebe]

I am still shocked about this. All I can say is that I hope it works. GO BILLS!

[Steelcurtain1933]

This should be good.....Espn is probably loving it.......

[Attack2000]

:D nice!

[pittcowboysfan]

LOL Buffalo! Now that is funny! Too bad for them. There goes Buffalo's chance of doing well. I'm betting one game and then after that TO mouths off to the QB or coach.

[pittcowboysfan]

Lol North America's team? I don't even think the Bills are Buffalo's team anymore.

[Toyfan85]

HAHAHA i dont know who to feel bad for.. the Bills or T.O.

[Poochiesdead]

HAHAHA i dont know who to feel bad for.. the Bills or T.O.Trent Edwards.

[pittcowboysfan]

Somebody should do a poll for what week do you think TO will blow-up in Buffalo.

[UFCFan]

I'll take week 4 for $400, Alex.

[Frank Barone]

I'll take week 4 for $400, Alex.

Of the preseason?

[IronLungs31]

It sad to see T.O. get fumifugist out of Dallas...:D;)

[Redeemer844]

T.O. = Homo more like crybaby to tell the truth. Maybe the bills felt they needed more drama in their lives

Quick question? YOu have been a member since'05 with 29 post to date. Why the itch to get buck wild posting lately. Just asking nothing more.

Thanks...

[deogg]

Might as well sign Michael Vick to throw to him.

That would be the instant recipe for a VERY Epic TO meltdown. Give him a RB taking snaps.

He'd be working out in his driveway by game 1......of the preseason.

[PAUL GROSS]

Being a Bears fan I can tell you Juron isnt the coach for TO. Juron cant even control his wife let alone TO. Juron is not confrontational at all. TO will walk all over him.

[GoNiners]

Trent Edwards is both the luckiest and unluckiest QB in the NFL right now. It will make the AFC East the most interesting division to follow. You got TO and Moss facing each other two weeks this year, you got TO facing Parcells twice, well he has nothing with the Jets....yet. Add Tom Brady coming back from surgery, Lynch's legal trouble, The new look Jets, What Miami will look like after a bounce back year and a pretty good free agency period. Lots of blog/paper material in this division for 2009.

[TheFigureFanatic]

Don't be surprised if he gets cut before the start of the season.

[chucknorris666]

This will end in a disaster yet again, but at least Chugga's team gets some publicity when it all falls down.

[APM]

Question:
You guys dont think that T.O. knows this is his last chance. My guess is that there was one offer (Bills) he had to take it. This means he knows that no other team wants him. So, he might be good for that one season (as bad as it may be) so in the off season he can get more offers? And by not acting up he will show that he is the "new T.O.".

[sabressixx]

i think there were probably more offers.i think the Bills finally took the chance on getting a big name guy and were not going to let him leave without being signed.Its probably the 3rd biggest move in team history maybe 2nd

[NotoriousVesaToskala]

This is a great gamble for a middling Bills franchise to take, one-year deal, a focused Owens who wants to continue his NFL career past 2009 and should be on his best behaviour (or close to it).

I really don't see a downside here for the Bills, if this move works and TO ignites their offense, they can contend for a playoff spot in the AFC East (especially with the Jets and Dolphins sure to regress) and if it doesn't and the Bills remain a 6-8 win team then it was probably still worth the gamble just to get Evans and Edwards some help because their offense has been a wreck over the last few seasons.

All in all, I'm really intrigued to see how this plays out because it's the only type of situation TO can go into (middling team looking to take the next step) without being blamed for all the team's problems if they struggle.

[Goalkeeper]

As a Dolphins fan, I'm pleased as punch about this.

And feel sorry for Chugga.

And Edwards.

And Evans.

I hope thats the case. I kind of like Buffalo and would like to see them do well. You just never know what you will get with Owens.

[RickeyB]

Jersey for sale on the Bills website already, but no confirmed jersey # yet. I wonder how much he will have to pony up to James Hardy, whose career most likely just got set back a year, for the #81?

This sounds exactly like the talk we heard before he signed with Dallas. Come to think of it, we heard the same stuff before he wound up in Philly, too.
