Excluding that mess, Owens finished 2008 with fewer catches (69) and yards (1,052) than any other season this decade. Owens had the NFL's second-highest number of dropped passes with 33, according to New Orleans coach Sean Payton. Even when Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo was healthy, Owens began showing his age. Owens, who turned 35 last December, rarely flashed the ability to single-handedly take over a game like in the past.
So what does Owens get for all this? A raise.
Buffalo will pay $730,000 more than what Owens was slated to earn from Dallas in 2009. His entire $6.5 million salary is even guaranteed.
So is trouble.
Sure, Owens said all the right things during his Saturday news conference. Maybe playing for a small-market team will be a pleasant change. Owens' history in Dallas and Philadelphia shows that he initially fits in well with a new squad before imploding. Being cut by the Cowboys — combined with the overwhelming negative public reaction from teams and fans about his next possible landing spot — could trigger a transformation.
But as long as desperate clubs like Buffalo are gaga over Owens as is, there's little reason to believe he will do anything differently.

Gilligansisland, ever year we do not hype up buffalo. By every year do you mean just last year? Because they have just now started to assemble some decent talent. Now last year they started 4-0 and looked good but fell apart due to injuries, sloppy play, etc. Just werent ready basically. I dont think this is a sb team, but far more explosive and certainly a playoff team in the afc.
