Report: Bills have decided they’re cutting Mario Williams
 
If we could afford him would it be worth trying?

Williams turns 31 in January, and has 4.0 sacks this year after posting 38.5 in the first three years of the six-year, $100 million deal he signed in 2012.

Am I alone in saying that players from Buffalo worry me? I know they worry Tom Benson.
It seems that if the Bills already know something and it shouldn't cost us millions to find out too.

ROUND THREE ANYONE?

It just doesn't matter. We could bring in every Hall of Famer to have ever played the game and nothing's going to change until there's many different faces on the coaching staff.

Mario Williams for 1-2 years? Absolutely, IF the price is right... Let someone else overpay for his services though

He's still gonna be able to command big money... So that's a big NO THANKS.

Re: Report: Bills have decided they’re cutting Mario Williams
 
Pass, would rather develop our own with new position coach. But to be fair, haven't seen Williams play much, just know he's about to get whacked.

Re: Report: Bills have decided they’re cutting Mario Williams
 
If by afford him you mean at a reasonable price, then sure, I guess. If signing him would mean we have no room for any other significant moves (which what money do we have, anyway?) then no thanks.

I'll take him if he wants to "walk on", as it were. But you know some team who loves aging, under performing players will scoop him up at HIS price. The Raiders immediately come to mind as one of those teams.

Re: Report: Bills have decided they’re cutting Mario Williams
 
At a reasonable price sure, but you know if we get him Mickey will just throw the house at him to sign.

Bills players haven't done well here when given money recently - Jairus Byrd and CJ Spiller.

Too expensive
Go and get someone younger,cheaper and hungrier

Re: Report: Bills have decided they’re cutting Mario Williams
 
To pony off a few others here, the Bills to Saints bridge needs to be blown up.

Other than that, it's a no. We don't need a player who spouts off to the media, It's unprofessional. Loose lips sinks ships.

More concerned with a thirty+ year old veteran...

I'd even trade Cam Jordan just to get that defense younger, faster, stronger, better...

2016 free agents:

Muhammad Wilkerson
Tashaun Gipson (if Byrd is gone)
Damon Harrison NT (jets)
Olivier Vernon
Danny Trevathan
Alshon Jeffery
Travis Benjamin WR (browns)
Ladarius Green (could be star in our offense)
Brandon Marshall (denver)

If we were smart with our cap I'd say the best ones to get would be Wilkerson and Alshon Jeffrey.

There is also Von Miller lol

He could become the highest paid defensive player in the history of the NFL. (that's why I didn't mention him)

We have a young defense....one reason why they are so bad. Getting rid of Cam Jordon, who isnt exactly old, would be the worst defensive mistake we could make.

Not to mention the 18 million in dead money, and we lose a top 5 DE in the NFL.

Why do people want to get rid of our best players?

I'm no NFL GM but I'd prefer to keep the good ones and upgrade the bad ones.

Not to mention that he's probably the only player on our defense that can switch from 3-4 to 4-3 and not have any downgrade in performance.

Cam needs to stay.

Maybe we could trade for the Hicks guy from NE?

Wilkerson, Harrison and Marshall could be good fits; I'd bet on Harrison...

There's no way I'm interested in Alshon Jeffery who's always injured when top CB's appear on the schedule...

Better vet and do the due diligence...

Mario's not looking good at all...

I don't want to trade Cam either, but I don't think there's such a thing as dead money when you trade a guy, is there? I don't think that would be a factor, in this scenario.

I'd be willing to trade just about anyone if it brought back multiple proven players. But that doesn't happen in football trades. So trading is just something teams do when they are desperate to get rid of a guy, be it for cap reasons or poor performance, and get just some kind of return. We surely have a cap problem, but Cam is the only good defensive lineman we have, so I don't know why they would get rid of him.

Dude...understand your point from the inexperience side, but our defense has sucked for far too many seasons under the Loomis/Payton tenure with the exception of one~two seasons for that argument to hold...

Would rather have young guys that make mistakes but have the athleticism to make plays to offset those mistakes than old, slow death by a thousand cuts as we've been...

Give me a couple of good players who we can sign for the same money.

Re: Report: Bills have decided they’re cutting Mario Williams
 
10 years ago it would have been a good pickup. But he'll demand money that we could sign 5-6 other players for.
