pBills Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 He still got some gas left in his tank!!!!! But not 5mill worth Totally agree. Resign him, but for 2 or 3 million for the year. Hell, give him a $6mill for 2-years deal.
UpperDeck Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 How about we take up a collection from members here and we just buy you a new jersey? That would be money better spent.
DrFishfinder Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 Signing an over the hill receiver who drops balls and doesn't command double teams is a JOKE! If you want to overpay a previous probowler go see what Marvin Harrison is doing. Re-signing TO would add to our image as the laughing stock of the NFL. If you want a winning team this is not the way to do it. Actually, that's not a bad suggestion about Harrison. Money being equal, I would rather have Harrison than Owens.
C.Biscuit97 Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 I don't know anyone who watched TO half ass on some many passes last year would possibly want him back. There's a reason he is getting sniffs on the market. It was a good risk last year and generate some excitement. But I don't want the guy on this team and want to see the young receivers play.
Bring Back Kelly Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 at 3 mil i'd resign him, maybe he'd take it given the lack of interest there has been for his services. I agree

I agree that there is no reason to sign the guy given his half ass performance on so many plays last year. I also think that he was a disruptive force behind the scenes. Just my opinion.

I also think that he was a disruptive force behind the scenes. Just my opinion. They were idiots not to trade him before the season was over. I don't care if it was for an empty Gatorade jug. Something would've been nice.
EastRochBillsfan Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 They were idiots not to trade him before the season was over. I don't care if it was for an empty Gatorade jug. Something would've been nice. No one wants to sign him now as it is, so why would they give us a draft pick for him?
Peter Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 No one wants to sign him now as it is, so why would they give us a draft pick for him? Reportedly the Ravens were interested before the trade deadline last year.
The Senator Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 He can still help and it one less need for this year Sorry about the jersey thing, but he was little help last season so what makes you think he can help now that he's a year older? Anyone else lining up to pay him $5M? (BTW - TO and Trent Edwards throwbacks are on sale at my local Tops for 15 bucks. Says something about Fanning-Fan's future - or at least his popularity - as a Bill, no?)
Fan in Chicago Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 I don't know anyone who watched TO half ass on some many passes last year would possibly want him back. There's a reason he is getting sniffs on the market. It was a good risk last year and generate some excitement. But I don't want the guy on this team and want to see the young receivers play. I had been a vocal critic of TO last season. But seeing that Reed and him are gone, the lack of experience at the WR position scares me. I wouldn't mind having TO back for at least one season in case his half assedness (sic) turns out to be better than the full efforts of Hardy/Johnson.
EastRochBillsfan Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 This is such crap. There's only one reason the Bills are competing in the 2010 season, that's to win. It's not to evaluate talent and see what guys have. That's what practice and training camp and pre season are for. At least if it's not that I hope they let me know so I can cheer for a team that wants so to win. WR is a glaring hole right now. Sign TO for one more year for whatever he wants (I don't care, it's no my money) and then we got WR wrapped up. Use Johnson and hardy to replace Reed. I don't get his loser attitude that's so prevelant around here. TO just isnt that great anymore and i really don't want the bills to sign him again. practice and training camp IS where u evaluate your talent. and pre-season. Steve Johnson has looked like he's ready to be a good reciever in my opinion from what i have seen. hardy not so much but he has been hurt too. but with owens in the line up these other recievers just won't get too many reps. and experience is the best way to get better don't you think? so it's time to give the other guys a chance to shine. they just may surprise you. I have a WINNING attitude, but it just doesn't have a half washed up owens in its plans.
Gugny Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 No one wants to sign him now as it is, so why would they give us a draft pick for him? I understand. I was speaking about trading him prior to the season ending last year. I think Chicago was interested. Any team going into the post season could've easily taken a chance on him for a month or two. He could've easily been dealt for something.
Rockinon Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 I had been a vocal critic of TO last season. But seeing that Reed and him are gone, the lack of experience at the WR position scares me. I wouldn't mind having TO back for at least one season in case his half assedness (sic) turns out to be better than the full efforts of Hardy/Johnson. Not me. I am tired of seeing promising young talent not thrown into to fire. Everyone wants to see a sure thing pro bowler even if they might be overlooking what else they have. It's just like the lottery. You have to play to win. Put the ball into the hands of your young talent and let them play.

At least the Bills know what they are going to get out of Owens, which is good (but declining) production, tear-your-hair-out dropped balls and questionable effort. Meh. Pull the trigger.

They are building for the future, sadly with todays NFL that doesn't work like it used to, maybe someone can tell them that. Teams go from worst to first every year, we just stay at worst and will continue to.
billsfreak Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 Sorry about the jersey thing, but he was little help last season so what makes you think he can help now that he's a year older?

Says something about Fanning-Fan's future - or at least his popularity - as a Bill, no?) No one else lined up to pay him anything last year but us, and he got 6.5 million. Unless there is truly nobody else, I think after the frustrations he went through last season, he won't come here, he would go elsewhere for less money.

That I do agree with. and they shoulda played Brohm the last game to get a better handle on what he can do. If I was Ralph, I woulda made sure that happened. but alas, I am just a pion(how do u spell that?) fan.
