Terrell Owens Signs with Bills and Rosenhaus Gets Him More Money
Just after days of getting released from the Cowboys, the Buffalo bills signed Terrell Owens to a $6.5 million, one-year deal Saturday. The deal included a $4 million signing bonus.
Terrell Owens said “I’m leaving America’s team (for) North America’s team”.
TO leaves Dallas, one of the biggest football media markets in the league, for one of the smallest and starting to make big news for the Buffalo Bills.
Owens made nearly $14 million last year and was scheduled to make $5.7 million in base and a roster bonus with the Cowboys. Rosenhaus got him $800,000 increase for this year.
“[Owens] thanks the Cowboys organization for releasing him and adding to his bank account,” Rosenhaus said on ESPN.
Bills owner Ralph Wilson was the driving force for this unlikely signing. Apparently Wilson used his private jet to pick us up Owens and his agent.
Bills as a team finished 25th in total offense and their leading receiver Lee Evans had only three touchdown catches.
ESPN.com’s John Clayton broke the story on Saturday.
