Lee Evans

Owens will pull coverage away from Buffalo’s primary receiver Lee Evans, allowing for more single coverage downfield for Edwards to dissect. He also should improve their running game, both by keeping men deep to protect against the pass and his run-blocking, which can be one of his better talents (when he feels like it). Even if he doesn’t see the ball as much as he thinks he should, Buffalo can either cut him outright (that money’s already on the books anyway) or wait it out until the season ends. Then it can just be called a failed experiment, with Owens’s personality being the overriding reactant. I’m putting ten bucks on that outcome right now.

Not the year you would expect from a star like him, but there were issues at Quarterback (still are). Roscoe Parish was a second round pick in the 2005 Draft and hasn’t been a star yet, but his time could come this year.
