papazoid Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Mark Gaughan of the Buffalo News reports that the Bills are doing all they can to get Williams to sign now, before he leaves Buffalo. The Bills want to make Williams the highest-paid defensive player in the league, with a deal better than the six-year, $91.5 million contract that Julius Peppers signed with the Bears in 2010. The Bills’ offer to Williams will apparently include more than $91.5 million in total money, more than the $40.5 million in the first three years that the Bears gave Peppers, and more than the $42 million guaranteed that the Bears gave Peppers. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/03/13/bills-want-mario-williams-badly-making-huge-offer/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealityCheck Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 If they have quality mock drafts and commentary, that's great. That doesn't mean there is any indication that the site has some inside edge for scoops. It also does not mean that it doesn't have inside information. As someone stated in another thread, it is unlikely that the biggest defensive FA this year would visit Buffalo at all without some sort of financial parameters already in place.

Matt in KC Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I'm not typically one to cast aspersions.... I just came back from dinner and found this thread. That link is all you have to back up posting this thread? You attention whore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACor58 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 They just say down to dinner. Ralph started the meal with a little speech. I heard it went "Before we start, I just want to take this time to say... Separate checks, please!" LMAO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Um, they're switching to a 4-3, Kelsay (despite his less than knowledgeable detractors) is a solid DE. If you put him next to Marcel, Mario and Kyle he instantly becomes a GREAT DE. And he'll end up leading the team in tackles since no one is going to want to run left or up the middle.

WhiteCat Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 God I hate Cowboy fans... I was living in Dallas then- Cowboys fans were pissed off, angry, in disbelief. That was my superbowl that year. Greg Bell's best game as a Bill. tHANKS, gREG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seq004 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I barely remember but I drank heavily before those games that year. I believe Greg Bell to the opening hand off and ran something like 50 yards for a TD, but of course I was still in the parking lot and missed it.

If you put him next to Marcel, Mario and Kyle he instantly becomes a GREAT DE. Great? That's a litte too much. Good, or very solid is more like it. I really like Kelsay too.

Webster Guy Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 If this goes down we will have three pro bowl defensive linemen next year in Dareus, Kyle, and Mario Williams. Its as close to an instant fix as you can find in the NFL. The reason I think this might be legit is that Ralph is probably saying I have ONE more run at this elusive trophy and I can't take the cash with me so lets win now at all costs. I mean, everyone is signed that we want to sign on our team, so if there is room to make the deal then why on earth wouldn't we? What do we have to lose, a year without being in the playoffs? hmmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACor58 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 If we don't sign him this thread will be found on every other teams message board - especially the fallout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWVABillsFan Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Caption the photo - right? Nix, "Huh?" Williams, "That's right Buddy. $15million a year for 5 years $45 million guaranteed, and I'll make everyone forget about Bruce Smith." No true Buffalo Bills fan WILL EVER forget about Bruce Smith; but, oh the sacking Brady memories hopefully Mario can leave with us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike in Syracuse Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Don't overlook the importance of Wannastache on that flight. He brings an assload of credibility to the position and dude's got rings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Great? That's a litte too much. Good, or very solid is more like it. I really like Kelsay too. In rotation with merriman the position would look real solid, potentially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shouldaplayedflutie99 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I don't really want the highest defensive player in the league...I'd like a sober one...highest paid would be okay by me though ...also, he says "reportedly", is that referencing his own report? Funny stuff, to be taken lightly, but makes me optimistic none the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike In Illinois Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Hopefully Mario isn't enamored with having #90 since Chris Kelsay has it. Gonna take a lot of money to pry it from his hands. First a 4/$24million contract and then the purchase of #90 by Super Mario. The rich keep getting richer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
