Take itself too seriously? Super Marios new contract pays him 1 million dollars per regular season game and half a million per regular season game guaranteed. Seems pretty serious to me.

Broncos, assuming Manning can go. A QB contributes far more to the win/loss column that any defensive player possibly can.

It all depends on what Gailey thinks he could do with Tebow. If Gailey thinks he can coach Tebow up to the point where he could be the starter in 2013 and Nix could get him for a 4th or 5th he would be stupid not to pull the trigger.

That's just in the 2 games against Marcia. But I say under.

As opposed to the 10,000 threads on who the Bills should draft first or what their record will be next season? Welcome to the off season.

I just can't see this happening unless Gailey thinks he can coach up Tebow (he does have the raw materials). But with Fitz's new contract I just don't see it. Of course I thought Manning was a lock for SF so what the hell do I know.

Soon to be third as Marcia assumes the number one position after this season.

It took guts for Nix to go all in with Williams. I hope he did it for the right reasons though, and not to appease the fans. Like Marv said, "If a coach starts listening to the fans, he's going to wind up sitting next to them.". The same would be true for GMs.

Fixed

I don't want that. No matter what you think of Tebows QB skills, you cannot deny that everywhere he has been to date (college or pro) the kid somehow finds a way to win. I don't want him doing that against the Bills twice a year, every year. So in short ... Jags, Tebow, please!!

Wow Denver and not SF, color me surprised.

You mean as opposed to Thigpen? But I will grant you the distraction part because there would be an instant controversy, at least by some fans, as to who should start.

Not this year. Not sure we had 1 month of winter. 80 degrees AND no humidity yesterday my friend

I'm thinking not this year. Just sayin'.

Or was that 50% of his money is guaranteed Damn that is one sweet contract!

Overpay is when you pay someone more than they are worth, it is a subjective term. The Bills paid what they had to to secure a marquee player. Nix obviously didn't think he was overpaying. It is easy to see why some might think that way though, 100 million for 6 years is a staggering amount of money when you think about it. Unless my math is wrong, that's 16.67 million per season. Or put another way, greater than 1 million dollars per regular season game. Just think about that for a minute, that's for one player, and a defensive lineman to boot. Some are going to think that is paying too much, it's their opinion. Not to mention the 50 million guaranteed. It is easy to see why Mr. Williams was all smiles, as was his fiancee I would imagine!

You see the same thing here about players that don't sign or leave. It's the same all over.

Boy wouldn't that be just what the Dr. ordered for the Bills defense (pun intended ).

Yeah next season will be interesting to be sure. Nix went all-in and we get to see if he was right or wrong. Not so much right or wrong to bring Williams to Buffalo, I think his record speaks for itself. But for cap considerations for the other positions of need. If he pulls off another strong draft this year, this could be an interesting season indeed.

20 million dollars is the difference, and that's a lot of money I don't care who you are. If it made no difference he probably would have signed the contract much quicker. At the end of the day all things factored into his decision I'm sure. But I feel certain a low-ball offer (like 30 million guaranteed) would not have gotten the job done. You have to give Nix credit. He went all-in with this signing to be sure.

The Super Mario signing should be a game changer to be sure. The defense now should be at least average in the NFL, if not above average. If they get a little more quality LB help and some depth, above average for sure. So a lot of this season rests on the shoulders of Gailey and his offense. Can he get both Spiller and FredEX engaged successfully? Can he figure out a way to keep the short passing game effective all season and not able to be shut down like it was the last half of last season? As always a lot depends upon how healthy the starters manage to be all season, on both sides of the ball. But I do not believe the offense, or the fans, will be able to blame the defense this season if things don't go well.

I can only imagine.

Chinese shops busily replacing Kelsay nameplates with M. Williams

Lawyers need to make their money too. Wording about incentives etc. Maybe that's what he is waiting for, like a Governors pardon at 11:59

Waiting for a slowdown in season ticket sales today. Phone lines have been melting today, so they are going to wait for it to slow down and have the presser. So it will go back up again Or ... waiting for the extra sales people to arrive at the ticket sales office
