Best case the bills gain tv exposure (which they haven't had in years), increase season ticket sales, increase merchandise/jersey sales, and fwiw become semi-relevant.
Worst case the bills still don't make the playoffs.
At least they are taking a chance and making a move to get better.

The big thing in their favor is it is only a one year deal, and TO will have to behave himself unless he wants to retire. His first year in Philly and Dallas were good. Once he gets paid, or not, the real MeO comes to the forefront.
The downside? He'll be 36 this year and he's coming off his worst full season since 1999. As his skills decline will he be able to deal with it, or will he blame everyone else around him? If it is the latter, Trent Edwards will have his hands full.
