I agree it's really weird just because, it's Buffalo. But, T.O. isnt really a problem in the 1st year. He was a good little boy for us in year one. He should be fine. It's just going to be really strange seeing him in that Bills jersey, I couldnt even imagine it right now.

Wow. T.O. in Buffalo is little weird to get used to, but they do need all the help they can get. The only question is, will he be of any help? ;)

lol, stop with this T.O.ronto crap. The Bills won't be in Toronto for a while.
I wouldn't mind if they had a TC here.

The Bills never crossed my mind when thinking about teams he could sign with.

I think I am going to have a seizure. I drank two energy drinks before we signed him. Now, my head feels like it is going to explode!!!!

This is a good move. It represents an immediate upgrade to the Buffalo offense. For 1 year, why not?

Great pick up by the Bills. As a lions fan I wish we got him to play for us. I doubt he would have come seeing as we just were the worst team in NFL history, but this is the kind of signing the Lions needed to make. Someone who can get the fan base fired up, especially after such a dismal season. Its a low risk high reward deal as it's only a one year deal. I guarantee in 1 year T.O. will stay out of trouble, especially up in Buffalo. This isn't Philly and this isn't Dallas. He will be fine and he will bank a lot more money after his one season in Buffalo.

This signing should be worth a primetime game or two for Buffalo. Maybe a monday night matchup between Owens and Moss?

I didn't expect the Bills to sign him, but not a bad move at all. T.O. as far as playing goes is a nice complement to what they already have.

Good signing...don't know why I didn't see it as a possibility.
Jauron has one more year to keep his job. If the team sucks (as always) then he's canned and TO doesn't come back. If the team does well Jauron gets to keep his job and TO might get another shot with the team.
No real downside I see.
Except possibly hurting Edwards development, but they don't have that much invested in him... so I guess their seeing if he can get it done with a boatload of toys and like Jauron, if he can't they'll be back where they started. So not too much to lose and a whole lot to gain.
Should be interesting.

Does Lee Evans change positions? I'm pretty sure he was the Split End before TO came, now does he move to flanker, because TO has been the Split End pretty much everywhere he's went.

The Lions needed TO? What does he have that Calvin Johnson doesn't have? A loud mouth and 12 years.. that's about it. We already had our big WR duo with Calvin and Roy, and that didn't do too much for us.

You can guarantee something like that? Really?
I see what a lot of people are saying in saying that this is a "safe" 1 year signing on both parts, but what if Edwards doesnt improve much and TO has a crappy year because of it?
I dont think he had that many teams interested in him. No big loss for the Bills. But this situation could also not help him out at all if he is still looking to bank one more big contract and the Bills and Edwards struggle.

Probably. Evans would be far better suited as a flanker anyways.

I laughed too hard when my friend texted me this. He is more concerned with beating the Pats then winning it all.
