‘Their break is "non-common" non-division games against the Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs, which are winnable. Plus, Terrell Owens should add scoring punch to their offense. He usually takes an offense to an average of 24.0 ppg or better because of his ability to catch touchdown passes. The Bills averaged 21.0 ppg last year. A two-point improvement could put them at 9-7.’

‘Over his three years in the NFL, all with Buffalo, he has gained 871 yards on 188 carries with three scores and added 59 catches for 507 yards.’

‘He’ll compete with Dominic Rhodes(notes) to start this season in place of Lynch, who’ll miss the first three games while serving an NFL suspension.’

‘Jackson was an exclusive rights free agent so he couldn’t negotiate with any other team. The Bills had made him a minimum contract offer of $460,000 under which Jackson would have played had a new deal not been negotiated.’

‘The three-year veteran has played in 24 career games with four starts. In 2008, Jackson set a career-high with 571 rushing yards on 130 carries including three touchdowns and added 37 catches for 317 yards.’

‘”Definitely,” said head coach Dick Jauron. “We expect him to compete. He plays well. He gets on the field and makes plays. I’m really looking forward to see him back here.”‘

‘Tinoisamoa, who turns 28 in July, would represent an upgrade over both of them. He is athletic with good instincts, speed, range and a nose for the football.’
