Owens open to re-signing with Bills in 2010

In the last few days Terrell Owens has shed some light on his playing future indicating he’d like to play at least two more seasons before calling it a career. Also fully aware of his free agent status he’s keeping all of his options open and that includes a return to the Bills in 2010.

“Of course,” said Owens when asked if he’s open to returning. “I’m not going to limit myself and discount any type of situation. I know I can play it’s all about the opportunities and the right system. I can flourish anywhere.”

Owens seems to view the Bills as the victim of circumstance in 2009, which is why he’s not as discouraged by what has transpired this season as some might think.

“It can work anywhere,” he said. “If you really assess what has happened throughout the course of the season, number one we’re young on the offensive line and you add in all the injuries that we’ve had, we’ve had guys that have been courageous on the front line that have played out of position every week. Every week we’ve had a different offensive line. Given that I feel if we had a good front line I feel our record would be definitely different.”

Obviously a lot would have to change for Owens to be convinced that Buffalo’s offense can dramatically improve and consistently put him in a position to be productive every week. But there’s a strong likelihood that several changes will occurcome season's end followingthe termination of now former head coach Dick Jauron last month.

“I think the thing for me is as long as I can produce in the right system and if I can go to a team where it works for me, then I feel like I can succeed and be productive,” he said. “It’s no coincidence as (Ryan) Fitz(patrick) has been in the offense that I’ve been getting involved and he’s kind of been dropping back and looking downfield and he’s seen on the film where I have been open and we’ve taken full advantage of that.”

Of course Owens has been in the league long enough to realize that if a new coaching staff is brought in a lot of preferences concerning personnel could be different too.

“It is hard to tell, so you never know what can happen,” Owens said. “Going into the offseason nobody knew that I would be here at the end of last season. So look where I am? You never know what can happen. Whoever the head coach is they may come in and just clean house.”

With a quarter of the season left beginning with Kansas City on Sunday, Owens prefers to focus his attention on the games that remain. After that he knows there will be a lot of choices to be made, some of which won’t be in his control.

“It’s too early to even think about that or consider that,” said Owens. “At the end of the season we have to see how things shape up and when that time comes that’s when you make those tough decisions. Whatever the case may be I’m prepared for it.

"Buffalo has been great for me and the fans have been very supportive and it’s disappointing that we won’t have a chance to make the playoffs, but you have to have a lot of pride in yourself, and I wholeheartedly have appreciated everything that Buffalo has done for me.

To be honest, if he finished his career here I wouldnt mind in the least, He has 2 more good years left in him. And if he was here for two more years, he would have learned the system, and he could be a valuable asset.

Back to reality.... He wont resign unless no one else offers him a contract OR the Bills throw out HUGE money for him....

He can take his tired, lazy act elsewhere. To many throws in his vacinity that he didn't even try for; some resulting in interceptions (see The Falcons game). He has "behaved" on the sidelines strictly because he knows to do otherwise would probably all but guarantee his exclusion from The NFL next season.

Isn't there a Head Coach job somewhere in the league T.O. can take?

Isn't there a team that will call plays to him? He was horribly under-utilized here.

Maybe he needs a real QB...

I agree. if we can get a real QB and have a healthy Offensive Line, I'd like to see TO here for a second chance.

I'm with you and intensity here. He's a good football player who wants his team to be successful(unlike every other for the last 10 years). I don't want to shell out a bunch of money for him, but if he comes for under 5 for a 1 year deal, then I'd welcome him back. He CERTAINLY isn't a bad football player, and he isn't the bad apple he was made to be. Many wide receivers have ego issues, and that's just the facts.

If he wants back in, I'd let him.

I mean, I know he's toned his act down due to pressure from the top, not because he's genuinely reformed, but fuckin A, he's one of the best. And WE have him...

I would say that if he resigns it would be great for Buffalo.. Get a goddamn quarterback that can actually throw the ball to him and he will be great
