The Buffalo Bills made announcement on Saturday, saying that they had no plan to offer any contract with wide receiver Terrell Owens. That means Owens could begin plan for his free agency now even there are still a few days left before the March 5 deadline for free agency.
“We wanted to inform all three players ahead of the start of the free agency period so they could begin making their plans,” Bills general manager Buddy Nix said. “We just felt that was the right thing to do. All three have represented our organization with class and we thank them for their dedication and hard work.”
Owens caught 55 passes for 829 yards and five touchdowns in the only season he played in Bills jerseys. He made six times to Pro Bowl and caught his 1,000th pass in Week 16 at Atlanta to become the sixth player in league history to reach the milestone. He also has many other records, but there is one problem: he is turning 37 this year. Few teams believe that he can still play for a long term, so it’s hard to say whether he could find a good offer on the free agent market.

Bills Top Receiver Owens plans to play Sunday against Titans
The Buffalo Bills wide receiver Terrell Owens’ hip injury turned to be a false alarm as he returned to practice Friday wearing his Bills jersey and said he was fine enough to play Sunday’s game against the Tennessee Titans.
Owens told reporters that his injury was caused by sleeping on his couch Monday night after practice. Waking up with feeling stiff, he had to skip practices Wednesday and Thursday, causing many to doubt whether he would be able to play this week.
“Earlier in the week it was painful, but I knew I would be ready,” said Owens, who is officially listed as questionable. “My couch is very comfortable, so it’s easy to fall asleep on. (But) I don’t know if it was the couch.”
Fortunately the pain did not last long and he practiced Friday in time to prepare to Sunday’s game at Tennessee. But some other starters were not as lucky. Starting linebacker Keith Ellison, cornerback Terrence McGee and defensive tackle Kyle Williams all have been ruled out for Sunday’s game with injuries.

T.O. missed practice again with sore toe
One day after he tested his sprained toe during a 20-minute workout, Terrell Owens missed another day of practice.
But Bills coach Dick Jauron did not think it as a setback. He said that Owens required more treatment and was told to stay off his feet. The 20 minutes of practice on previous day was just a test. Owens just still experienced discomfort standing after taking part in stretches and individual drills during practice Monday night.
“It was just kind of a test,” Jauron said. “We were hoping he could maybe do the same thing today, but we didn’t have any preconceived notions.”
After he jammed his toe in the 21-18 loss to Tennessee in the Hall of Fame Game on Aug. 9, Owens missed totally five of six practices and a preseason game against Chicago Bears.
