ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Terrell Owens needed only two days to find another place to play.

The Buffalo Bills decided to take a chance on the talented but high-maintenance receiver, signing Owens to a $6.5 million, one-year deal Saturday. ESPN.com's John Clayton broke the story on Saturday.

Owens, 35, caught 69 passes for 1,052 yards and 10 touchdowns last season with Dallas. But the Cowboys were looking to improve the atmosphere in the locker room and decided they would be better off without him.

"I'm leaving America's team [for] North America's team," Owens said at a news conference.

The Bills will be Owens' fourth stop. He started with San Francisco, bounced to Philadelphia -- where he helped the Eagles get to a Super Bowl -- and then to Dallas.

"I must move on, and it's another beginning for me," Owens said. "If I can be that extra added piece to get them to the playoffs, then that's what I'm here for. I looked at the defensive side of ball and offensive side of the ball, and these guys have all the pieces."

The Bills were in need of a receiver to take the pressure off Lee Evans. They got one of the biggest names out there.

"We all know of his tremendous ability and look forward to what he will bring to our offense," Bills owner Ralph Wilson said in a statement. "This is a very exciting day for the Buffalo Bills."


What the hell?:confused::confused:

Seems like the people of Buffalo are happy with it.

I don't see the fit myself.

But that team is no way like the Cowboys or Eagles were, he wont get that many passes, he will be pissed and start complaining again.

The Bill's QB is no way like Romo or McNabb.

I think the only going in their favor (the Bills) is it is a 1 year contract. If he wants any more cash he will have to behave AND play well.

Well we will see how much drama there is after the year is up. That guy is gold on the field, but IMO his drama in the locker room outweighs that. He would not play for me, and alot of teams seem to agree with that sentiment.

Not so much "gold" on the playing field either. Second in the league last season to Braylon Edwards, in dropped passes.

But it was the TE's fault, he caught too many of T.O.'s passes.:pleur::rolleyes:
