How Much Would You Pay To Have Cancer?Most would pay nothing, but the Buffalo Bills have agreed to pay 6.5 million dollars for it. The Bills contracted this deadly disease this past Saturday when they signed Wide Receiver, Terrell Owens to a one-year deal. ESPN’s Skip Bayless often refers to Owens as T.O., as in team obliterator. Owens has had trouble everywhere that he has played, specifically with his quarterbacks. Jeff Garcia, Donovan McNabb and Tony Romo all failed in the effort to keep number eighty-one happy. Do we really think that Trent Edwards will be any different? The Bills already have a number one receiver in Lee Evans; will T.O. be satisfied with being number two? The only connection that Terrell Owens has with number two is that he often acts like it.
Buffalo is a great football city. Jim Kelly, Andre Reed, Thurman Thomas, Bruce Smith Cornelius Bennett, and others have paved the way for this city to be associated with football excellence. I know that the Buffalo Bills organization and its fans want to win, but at what price? With T.O.’s skills diminishing and his negativity continuing to flourish, he’s no longer worth the gamble. T.O. will probably put on his best face for a while, but something will inevitably change it. It’s like cancer, it can go into remission, but it often reappears and even when it doesn’t you fear that it will.

On a positive note, he was the Cowboys leading receiver with 10 (I think) TDs last season. I mean you know he always plays well his first year with a team and wants to show up the previous team.
