The Facts:
The Bills announced tonight they will not offer contracts to soon-to-be free-agent WRs Owens and Josh Reed.
Reported by the Buffalo News
Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The announcement does not come as a surprise. Owens, at age 36, does not fit into the Bills' overhaul plans and would not have wanted to return to Buffalo anyway. Reed is an eight-year veteran who played a backup role. Both will become free agents on March 5. It remains to be seen what kind of market there is for either man. It might be worth noting that Ravens HC John Harbaugh wouldn't rule Owens' out as a player of interest during a press conference on Saturday. Much, however, will depend on T.O.'s view of his value. We suspect it might differ from that of the average NFL executive.
