Popcorn is Ready

Time to pull out the new Buffalo flavored popcorn, because Terrell Owens is now a Buffalo Bill. Two days after being cut by the Cowboys, Owens has a 1 year deal with the Bills worth $6.5 million. Funny part is that everyone believes this helps out both teams.

Dallas gets rid of one of the many distractions that the team has in that locker room, granted Owens was probably the largest distraction. The only problem is by eliminating this distraction this is going to put more pressure on Tony Romo to step up.

As mentioned in a previous blog, it seems as though Romo already has a lot of pressure to win late in the season. Now that they took away his biggest distraction, they are leaving him no option but to win now or else the job can go to Kitna.

Buffalo is the biggest winner in the deal. While considered a distraction and a locker room cancer in Big D Owens is always every one's favorite player in year one, who produces big numbers. It is always the second year and beyond where he is a big problem.

As for Owens it seems obvious that Buffalo is not where he wanted to go. T.O. always looks for a contending team with a big name quarterback. Buffalo has not seen the playoffs in almost a decade, and Trent Edwards is far from a big name player.

It seems clear Owens has rubbed many owners the wrong way with his actions, and they are not willing to try and take a risk on him. Every team he joined he has left worse off. He better be on his best behavior because if not the only option left could be the island of misfit players known as Oakland.
