Many around the NFL are surprised that wide receiver Terrell Owens ended up signing with the Bills. "I was surprised, naturally, like everybody else," former Bills coach and general manager Marv Levy said. "I verified it a little bit later that it was true, and that my friend hadn't been drinking." Buffalo isn't known to make big splashes in the free agent market. "Wow," said Bills Hall of Fame running back Thurman Thomas. "I said it at the end of last year that the Bills have to make a big splash. This is a bigger splash than I thought the Bills organization would ever make."
