The absolute last place on Planet Earth I expected this maniac to land in was Buffalo, New York. If he does anything short of leading the Bills to their first playoff berth in ten years, those folks will eat him alive.

The Buffalo Bills have signed free agent wide receiver Terrell Owens.

A source told Buffalo News NFL columnist Mark Gaughan that the deal is for one year and is worth $6.5 million guaranteed.

"I'm leaving America's team [for] North America's team," Owens said at a hastily called news conference Saturday night.

"I must move on, and it's another beginning for me," Owens said. "If I can be that extra added piece to get them to the playoffs, then that's what I'm here for. I looked at the defensive side of ball and offensive side of the ball, and these guys have all the pieces."

Owens, who was released earlier this week by the Dallas Cowboys, has 951 career receptions for 14,122 yards and 139 touchdowns. He has had nine 1,000-yard receiving seasons during his 13-year NFL career.

The 35-year-old, who is 6-foot-3, 218 pounds, provides the Bills with a pair of dynamic receivers, also including Lee Evans.

Welcome to T.O.'s World, Trent Edwards.
