You're forgetting an important fact: Terrell Owens is 35 years old. There's no way anyone will sign him to longer than a two-year contract after this season, and if they did it would be filled with incentives and non-guaranteed money.
Kudos to Leber for the amazing sig and to Metroid for the userbar and making them both fit 2008 and 2009 Defunct Dynasty League Champion

I think from here on out, T.O. is only going to be getting 1-year offers. Mainly due to his age and his locker room skills.

LOL. I think that's a risk ANY Bills fan would take right now. The team has sucked so badly since the glory days of Jim Kelly that even the mere thought of getting into the playoffs would create such a happy buzz around town that Buffalonians would suddently stop complaining about lake effect snow off of lake erie......
It would be one thing if he just skipped voluntary workouts. A lot of players do that. But T.O. made a point of saying he'd be there and then skipped it. Lol. Classic.
Terrell Owens was absent for the start of Buffalo's conditioning program because he's in D.C. to receive an award for raising awareness about Alzheimer's Disease.
T.O., whose grandma has Alzheimer's, will get the Alzheimer's Association's first Young Champions Award on Wednesday. He's being honored along with senator Jay Rockefeller and French president Nicolas Sarkozy. Despite ESPN trying to make a big deal of it, Owens' absence was never a concern. Source: Associated Press
T.O.'S new slate. Jauron said he didn't consult anybody from Terrell Owens' previous NFL stops about how to handle the volatile wide receiver.
"No, I didn't," he said. "I just felt like from this point, we'll write a new chapter. We'll see where it goes, and we'll work like hell to make it work for all of us. We'll work at it."
