[Dick Jauron's] eyes narrowed when NBCSports.com columnist Tom Curran pressed him on the risk Owens presents in the context of broken quarterback relationships left behind.

"I would start by saying he's also won a lot of games wherever he's been," Jauron said sharply.

Curran asked "At what price?"

"That's not my thing to decide," Jauron replied. "We're not winning enough games. Our goal is to fight and get into a playoff spot."

Curran then followed up by asking how the Bills intend to protect third-year quarterback Trent Edwards from experiencing the same grief as Jeff Garcia, Donovan McNabb and Tony Romo.

"Trent will be capable of protecting himself," Jauron said. "We're a football team. He's not alone."
