Raiders Miss Out on Terrell Owens Sweepstakes


It seemed like a forgone conclusion that Terrell Owens would end up with the Oakland Raiders where all troubled stars in the NFL seem to land.

In somewhat of an unexpected move the Dallas Cowboys decided it was time to give TO the boot in Big D. Some may say they made a bad move, but in my opinion he is locker room poison who only cares about himself and will never change his destructive ways. Great player, very talented and a game changer, but at times nothing but a distraction.

Every NFL analyst was predicting it and Raider fans were waiting for it, but TO didn't end up signing with the Oakland Raiders after all. He may have been more trouble than a young JaMarcus Russell could handle, but he might have been the key ingredient the Raiders needed to become a force in the AFC West again.

No one could have seen it coming, but the Buffalo Bills were the team that eventually got their hands on Terrell Owens for a $6.5 million one year contract.

Smart move by Buffalo? I would say so. I don't think the guy will change, but maybe he will have better luck on a team that is not surrounded by the media like the Cowboys and Eagles.
