Rigotz Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Pretty wild that he's still available. Matt Parrino had a rumor last month that he's "retired" but I wonder if he'd take a cheap deal for just the playoff run? I think we can all agree, he'd be great depth this late in the season and we don't want to wait for a "must have" scenario where he has all the leverage. What do you think? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBBills Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 I would like to know what your definition of "wild" is... right now I picture popcorn with extra butter "wild" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 (edited) Didn’t he retire? Plus he was released, why would they bring him back without losing players to injury? The Bills chose the OL they have. It’s not like something happened and they’re scrambling to piece together an OL. This is their plan.

He was probably asking for money similar to the 3 year $24M he was coming off from the Bills. I don't understand how he goes from valued starter to completely useless to you guys in less than a year. The suggestion was a cheap deal, as his market has settled and he wouldn't be able to ask for starter money anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brand J Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 The irony is that he was probably better than Rodger Saffold has been this year, but I don’t see him going to any team. OL has to be one of the most difficult positions to go from sitting on your couch, or even working out, to suddenly trying to impose your will on other 300+ pound guys. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 is this the greenlight for more threads suggesting signing retired players? How's about TO? He's got the keys.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negan Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 His pass blocking at guard was pretty decent last year, come on Beane get him on the line 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 He would be better backup than Boettger and Van Roten. If they released Van Roten I guess Bates would be backup center. Not going to happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st pete gogolak Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 I started a similar thread a month ago and was enlightened by many posters that, not only is he retired, but he has zero interest at this point in his life in playing football. Nothing wrong with that. Which is a shame, He would be a nice fit as guard - tackle backup, maybe even starter. Last year's play was better than what Saffold and Q have provided this year. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albany,n.y. Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Here's the problem with large offensive linemen. After they decide to retire, many either lose a lot of weight because they carried too much in order to play on the line, or they put on weight once the need to train as a professional athlete ends. So, if Williams decided he's had enough, chances are pretty good he's no longer at his playing weight, one way or the other, and could not suddenly answer the phone & be anywhere close to being ready to play.

Joe Ferguson Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 This is where Beane dropped the ball in protecting our 1/4 of a billion dollar QB. He surrounds Josh with bamboo sticks to protect him instead of brick walls. Our putrid o-line is why the running game blows and performances of Allen stinks the last few weeks. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was horrible last year. I disagree that he is better than Saffold or Quesenberry, especially if he is playing tackle. Saffold has not been as bad as people are claiming. Not nearly. Quesenberry is an ok backup tackle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
