Wide receiver Terrell Owens has reported for the Buffalo Bills’ offseason conditioning program, according to Chris Brown of the Bills’ official web site. It’s a somewhat surprising development considering Owens had previously indicated that he wasn’t going to take part in the voluntary workout sessions. Perhaps Owens realized that it might be a good idea for him to build some chemistry with his new teammates by showing up, lifting a few weights and catching a few passes from quarterback Trent Edwards. According to a recent USA Today article, Owens said he had informed Bills coach Dick Jauron that he wasn’t going to attend anything that he’s not required to contractually. “Right now, if there’s nothing mandatory that I have to be a part of, then I won’t intend to be there,” Owens said. At the NFL owners meetings, Jauron didn’t seem concerned about Owens’ plan to not show up for workouts, noting that the perennial All-Pro wideout is known for his dedication toward conditioning. The Bills signed Owens to a one-year, $6.5 million guaranteed contract after he was cut by the Dallas Cowboys.
