ExWNYer Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 If (BIG if) he stayed at Kelly's last night, he's a Bill. Nobody would put the press on harder than Jimbo, and I'm sure his country estate would give Mario & fiancee a real taste of "country" life in the southtowns. Or Jimbo killed the deal by putting the full court press on Mario's girl... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just in Atlanta Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 http://profootballta...tract-for-life/ If you buy into the peyton/williams connection this is good news. Did Bud Adams borrow Buddy Nix' leather barn coat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramius Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 This thread is not at the top of the board! Williams may not sign here if he logs on and finds his thread is at #2 below the Peyton thread! BUMP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh, that's probably what is keeping the deal from getting signed. He's waiting to be moved to #1 thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjmac Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I don't think it's that simple. Prior to the start of free agency, I imagine that DOZENS of teams expressed interest in Mario Williams. I'm sure that we weren't the only scheduled visit for him this week - just the first one. But in the NFL, free agency usually moves pretty quickly. By the time his meeting with Buffalo was over on Tuesday night, many of those teams had probably moved on. Chicago got Brandon Marshall and dropped out of the bidding. Jacksonville was considering a run at him, but then they re-signed Mincey. Detroit was interested, but franchised Cliff Avril. Other teams were likely "forced" out of the race, simply because of Buffalo's large offer. The theory about Tennessee and Peyton Manning makes A LOT of sense. If another team had a legitimate offer on the table for Williams, I'm sure he would be heading out of town to visit with the coaches and see the city (like he did with us). Instead, he seems to be stalling or waiting for something to happen. The only thing that makes sense, is that he's waiting for the only other top free agent (Manning) to sign, so he can see if another team jumps in the race. Personally, I don't think Manning will be making his decision anytime soon. And Williams would be foolish to pass on this offer, leave town and take the chance that Buffalo moves on to other free agents. Then if Manning signs with Tennessee, he may be forced to take a much smaller contract. Dozens? With not even 3 dozen teams in the NFL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fires Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Interesting there was a comment under the article that said he stayed at Jim Kellys last night. Can anyone confirm? "linkage4890 how often do Free Agents have their fiances flown in during contract negotiations in order to get a feel of the area, and then reportedly stay at the house of the legendary quarterback, just to come up and say no? there's something serious going on in his brain about this place" Coupled with Jill Kellys tweet earlier........I am sounding like one of you stalkers now Saw that too.... Sort of figured Jimbo would be involved in recruiting Mario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's ready to skip off to another team, WHY would he have stayed another night and WHY would he be back at OBD this morning??? I understand leverage, but KEY-RIST! He can leverage other offers from home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
