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 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. Jauron is on the hot seat and the team is suffering a long playoff drought. The competition in the AFC East isn't getting any easier. (Buffalo went 0-6 in the AFC East last year.) While the Bills have a promising nucleus, they need to try something, because a fourth straight 7-9 season won't cut it. ESPN's Len Pasquarelli reported Saturday that Bills owner Ralph Wilson was heavily involved with the decision. Owens will help raise the franchise profile and help sell tickets for their games in Canada. The key to all of this is the length of the deal. Only so much damage can occur in a year, and Owens usually behaves in the first year of his contract. Owens will be under pressure to behave and perform or he won't get another contract in 2010. A little dose of career mortality could keep his mouth shut. The Bills are taking a huge risk, but standing pat meant going nowhere. Signing T.O. sounds so crazy, it might just work.
