Terrell Owens will start playing for the Buffalo Bills when he has to. And not a moment sooner.
The newly-acquired Bills wideout – signed to a one-year deal this month after he was cut by the Dallas Cowboys – announced Wednesday that he will not attend voluntary workouts, instead choosing to focus on his own off-season routine.
Owens said he’d informed Bills coach Dick Jauron that he’ll join his teammates at the club’s facility in Orchard Park, N.Y. when the workouts become mandatory.
That would land Owens at a Bills minicamp sometime in June.
The announcement shouldn’t come as a shock. Owens has never been a frequenter of the voluntary workouts, typically conditioning his NFL physique with his personal trainer.
Still, Jauron did express hope two weeks earlier that Owens would make Buffalo an exception to the career trend, hope that now appears dashed.
