Red Rover Red Rover, Jauron Calls T.O. Over!



According to SalSports.com, the Bills are attempting to put together a meeting with Terrell Owens in hopes of potentially signing the free agent head case/wide receiver.

The "source" in the story says it is, in fact, Dick Jauron's idea to put together this meeting. Seems odd considering Dickie loves high character players, so maybe he sees something in T.O. that others don't see (or sees his job being taken away if they don't make the playoffs next season).

Would T.O. come to Buffalo? Tough call. I'm not sure why he would want to come to a team with such a history of losing and such a mediocre passing game, but he may see some upside in going to a weak media market where he won't get as much attention as other places.

Would Buffalo fans welcome T.O.? This is the bigger question in the matter. If he showed up and said the right things, I think the potential is there for him to be embraced. But as soon as there is a sign of him acting up/like himself, that grace period would disappear rather quickly.

Personally, I would love it if they could bring in Owens. Who cares if he could potentially ruin their team chemistry and Trent's psyche? Obviously the current chemistry is only good enough to win 7 games a season, so that's not really a huge loss. If Trent can't handle the trouble that is T.O., maybe he shouldn't be an NFL quarterback. With a second major weapon on the outside, Edwards might even be tempted to throw more than just screen passes on occasion.

And hey, if anything, I imagine T.O. and Marshawn could provide some hilarious moments for us - of course assuming Marshawn doesn't screw up any more.
