Comments on: TO is a Bill http://www.oscargamblesociety.com/to-is-a-bill/ People don't think it be like it is, but it do.

Marvin is only one year older than TO. Now I do think that TO has more to offer this coming season than Marvin... however, Harrison is clearly a better "teammate", and is far more likely to be a positive clubhouse presence (for however how much that matters). In other words, if the Bills was (by far) the best offer, Rosenhaus may have (and indeed should have) recognized that if he stalled, then another FA WR (starting with Harrison) might get that Bills deal. On a related note, given as he's only a year older and arguably has had a better career (although future production is what matters for the next contract), I'll be interested to see what contract (and what team) Marvin Harrison ends up with.

Also that it was striking how quickly the deal happened, and I would agree with your conjecture that it represents Owens/Rosenhaus jumping on the offer.
