Bills Sign WR Terrell Owens

The Bills have signed WR Terrell Owens to a one year contract.

Hmm. The Bills have been unable to find a WR opposite Lee Evans, seemingly because they just never valued what Evans could accomplish without being double and triple teamed all game long. They finally mean business and have acquired someone sure to keep plenty of attention on himself, good and bad. As we've seen in the past, if Owens isn't winning, Owens is a problem. The AFC East continues to stay very tough, and we have to question if the Bills were really a WR away from making a serious run. This could end very badly, although the 1 year deal is perfect as it'll help motivate Owens to behave well.

Fantasy Impact: This is an interesting situation, and it ultimately comes down to Trent Edwards being able to stay healthy, something he hasn't done in either college or the NFL. Edwards is a quality QB, but he's not the talent that Tony Romo is. On paper, the Bills have a solid offensive line, 2 excellent WRs to help keep attention off each other, and a pair of talented RBs in Marshawn Lynch and Fred Jackson.

Given Jauron's conservative history, the uncertainty of what type of QB Trent Edwards is, and the very tough division the Bills play in, Terrell Owens has seen his fantasy stock fall. His targets, catches, and TDs all project to drop, so the likely case is that he'll be over-valued on draft day. He can still put up WR1 numbers if things break right, but he has far more working against him in Buffalo than he did in Dallas.
