T.O. signs with the Bills
Sheil Kapadia, Philly.com
UPDATE: Well, it's official. Terrell Owens will suit up for the Buffalo Bills next season.
According to Vic Carucci of NFL.com, Owens and the Bills have agreed to a one-year deal.
A source tells ESPN.com's John Clayton that the deal is worth $6.5 million, and is all guaranteed.
The Bills will be the fourth team Owens plays for after stints with the 49ers, Eagles and Cowboys.
In case you're wondering, no, Buffalo is not on the Eagles' schedule next season. The Birds take on the AFC West, not the AFC East.
So what do we think? Does this have any shot of working out?
From earlier:
Well, we didn't see this one coming.
Terrell Owens is in Buffalo to visit with the Bills, according to a report by Jay Glazer and Alex Marvez of FoxSports.com.
Agent Drew Rosenhaus said earlier this week that several teams were interested in Owens' services, and he expected to have a deal done by the end of next week.
Of course, his announcement came after several reports surfaced that T.O. was generating little interest after the Cowboys cut him.
My immediate thought about the possibility of Owens in Buffalo?
Poor Trent Edwards.
The Bills' starting quarterback threw 11 touchdowns and 10 interceptions last season. Owens has trouble getting along with his quarterback when they are Pro Bowl-caliber. How is he going to react to a QB who has only started 24 career games and has a 79.1 rating?
A source tells FoxSports.com that the Bills would offer Owens a one-year deal.
I'll be sure to post updates throughout the weekend so check back.
that's a nice place for him...to rot— lagunita- When TO rots, he'll stink. And he'll rot where ever he goes, and his stink will rot the entire locker room.— JohnnySak
- It's such a shame to see such talent go to waste just because the guy can't keep his mouth shut. He could have been one of the best, now he's a joke who wasted his career. Maybe he'll win a bowl with a team who picks him up on their way, but wouldn't it have been nice to be the reason they got there and won?? He's had his chances, but he blows it every time!— kat1005
- Interesting development if it pans out.— jakelbi
He'll wear out his welcome in record time. Buffalo isn't a high profile team and if B.O. isn't in the spotlight he ain't gonna be happy. You know what that means. He'll have to create his own ink.— tpizza

- I'm shocked that anybody would sign T.O. I mean the man is terrible. Always in shape, ready to play, does his job, wants the ball, its awful the way he nags the tea sippin, poetry readin quarterback (oh well, what's a girl to do?) Gotta have dat chemistry...later with the birds and the boys, fot the 1st time since The Juice I'm rollin' with the Bills.— ClarkU
- i wanted the eagles to sign him— ConservativePatriot22
- Buffalo, Hilarious. Next stop the CFL's Edmonton Eskimos.— christopherkmaddaloni

- The Wire makes sense. If the Eagles had signed TO after their defeat in the Super Bowl (and let's me honest, he deserved it for the way he played in that game), they probably would have won a Super Bowl. I'm glad to see that at least he got a job. I'm glad he's in the AFC.— fgdavis
- lets just make this official and have Banner back on with Eskin so he can fill the fans with more B S and say we had no interest in T O— amann08
