Will there be a T.O. effect on FA signings?


Recommended Posts

the Bills aren't "good enough" for T.O.

 

They were desperate enough for T.O

The good news is that even after starting 16, 15, and 16 the last three years for the Boys, and going over 1,000 yards and 10 TDs or better each season, TO still got cut and quite frankly had got to be desperate to make it work with the Bills or if he has yet another miscreant season this will certainly be his last stop getting paid more than the vet minimum if not his last stop as an NFL player if he melts down in Buffalo.

 

TO has shown an ability to capture the love and respect of some teammates and fans with a year of so of great play and being a team guy before he melts down.

 

I suspect he will have an outstanding year for the Bills in 09 and the critical FO decision will come next year as to whether the Bills look to resign him or not. If TO implodes at all this year or even whines about not getting the ball enough, the Bills can simply walk away and TO loses big in terms of his next FA contract or any welcome mat from any fans after leaving on bad terms with his fourth team in a row.

 

The Bills were in bad shape before the TO signing having missed the playoffs for roughly a decade. Today they are not guaranteed anything (who is in this life) but they have some powerful cards to play in this relationship.

 

If TO melts down the Bills are in the same bad position they were before they signed him, but if TO meltsdown his career will be just about if not totally done.
