Wayne Cubed Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) It's happening either way, $$ + his production makes him a cap causality. IMO, Mario Williams would have had to have an MVP type season before all the Rex changes for it to even be a consideration of the Bills to keep him. Especially with all the other, younger players they need to sign. As it happens it helped the Bills make the decision easier. Edited February 11, 2016 by Wayne Cubed

Delete This Account Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Really. People blaming Rex on Mario? How many playoff games has Mario won since joining the NFL? jw

CommonCents Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 I was excited too bad it was a fake account. A Prius has a bigger motor than Mario.

Especially with all the other, younger players they need to sign. As it happens it helped the Bills make the decision easier. I hate the "his production doesn't match his pay" line of "reasoning" in this case. Mario performed at a very high level when utilized properly. It could be argued (and I have) that he was a little overcompensated, but his lack of production this past year was utilization related. The best coaches mold their schemes to fit talent/personnel and we sure didn't see that with Mario or the defense in general last season. His release (when it inevitably happens) is going to be spun as an indictment of Mario, but it really should be seen as a coaching failure. The front office made their choices last offseason. They signed Clay, Shady and Hughes to huge deals and there's only so much money to go around. In fact, it's certainly possible that the coaches didn't tailor their scheme to fit Mario because they'd already decided he was gone after 2015. Regardless of his (mis)utilization last season, the Bills will be losing a lot of talent when he exits.
stevewin Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 If and when it happens, I just hope he goes to a team outside the AFC East
John from Riverside Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 its happening....the question is when

Dorkington Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Still kind of hoping he extends under a much cheaper deal, but I don't think he has any interest in staying here for less money. He's probably going to sign with a legit football team for a reasonable deal. New DE in one of the first two rounds of the draft?
