BillnutinHouston Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I posted earlier that I think it's really curious that they keep mentioning he has a visit scheduled, but no one can figure out with *whom* he's visiting. I would imagine the Bears, after the Marshall trade and Campbell signing, are not contenders in terms of most money. I think some reports have said they're not even trying at this point. TN? SEA? Or maybe his agent keeps leaking that there's visits scheduled to keep the pressure on Buffalo to offer as much as possible as quickly as possible?.... Can't be TN, Bud Adams is still gunning for Manning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepizzaking Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Can't be TN, Bud Adams is still gunning for Manning. So then who's left that is making any sort of push for Williams? Jax? They just re-signed their own guy and they're in a worse position going forward than us. SEA then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanInUticaTampa Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I don't think Tennessee unless they are dropping out of the manning race. Maybe Seattle, but I don't see that team being more attractive, talentwise. I don't think Atlanta has the cap space to beat us. So I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't another team and it just didn't get reported right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucked Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 The only other team that's been mentioned that would be as attractive as us talent-wise is Chicago, and they can't match our money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 So then who's left that is making any sort of push for Williams? Jax? They just re-signed their own guy and they're in a worse position going forward than us. SEA then? And this is why 100m guys can't drag it out with a ton of visits and going a few days. The longer he's in buff - the fewer options he has at that pricetag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eme123 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Houston?? Mario said he wanted to get a deal done with Houston. The Texans owner said right up until yesterday that they were trying to get something done. Maybe Mario is weighing Money vs. Staying w/ Texans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepizzaking Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I really think that no one else is chomping at the bit like we are, and since we're already offering the most, his agent has no other way to drive the price even higher than to keep rumors of interest alive. It makes sense to me at least. It's certainly plausible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsoldier54 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 The fact that he didn't sign last night speaks volumes. He isn't going to sign in Buffalo. Too bad. It would have been huge, but my guess is he leaves today and signs somewhere else. Business as usual. Not the team's fault, but a shame nonetheless.

thepizzaking Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Houston is totally out, they barely have cap space after releasing Winston and restructuring Johnson. They can't afford to sign Williams, draft picks, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kabnt2005 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 To end it, Kyle suggested a chain of people should lie down on the tarmac and prevent him from leaving if it comes to that Just book him a flight on Direct Air if he wants to leave.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Good update & more details of visit here Thanks for posting. Sounds like the Bills FO and his agent were working on papering the deal last night. let's hope for a noon presser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepizzaking Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Adam Shefter per ESPN. Someone said earlier that he made this comment about Meachem, not Williams. Is this a different report out of him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills of Boston Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 That's whats confusing me about San Diego, nothing from Shefter on twitter or the ESPN insider, SD isn't mentioned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I thought Chad Kelly had his Twitter taken away? Has he been a reliable source of information in the past? He did get in trouble for tweeting some sensitive Bills related info in the past and his twitter account did in fact temporarily disappear after that. The tweet was implied to be related to Bills ownership, and honestly, there was some news but it wasn't quite as big as expected. He's very close to his Uncle Jim, but it's possible he merely found out that Mario is still in town and would be visiting OBD this morning, not necessarily that a signing is imminent. I'm pretty optimistic, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
