Mike32282 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 The Bills have released offensive lineman Mike Williams. “We are announcing today that we have released Mike Williams,” Bills general manager Marv Levy said. “We appreciate his efforts and wish him well in what lies ahead in his career.” Williams was selected by the Bills with the fourth overall pick in the 2002 Draft and was Buffalo's highest draft pick since Bruce Smith (#1 overall in 1985). http://www.buffalobills.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 WOW!!! I did not think this would happen. Especially after Williams said he would renegotiate his contract. So what is the cap hit for us, and what do we save? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like A Mofo Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 How much $ will this save on the Bills cap and how much dead $ is involved? Rico answered it..thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eSJayDee Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I an only imagine that this means when intend to be active in free agency. Clearly, MW has as much potential as any other OL man. Since we apparently have the cap room, it would have only made since to keep around until that $3m bonus was due (IIRC, July 1st), to see if he was going to shape up (figuratively & perhaps even literally) unless we figure we need the room to pursue other FAs. Could be an exciting off-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what is the cap hit for us, and what do we save? 609806[/snapback] Per Clump, saved $4.9M, cap hit $6.6M. This helped pay for Nate, but it's still not enough, need to chop some more dead weight!

nodnarb Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Holy crap. Good god, what a busted pick. I know he graded high coming out, but the one thing that the Bills failed to take into consideration is HEART and DESIRE. Big Mike has little of either. And he NEVER had great feet...so WTF... God, look at the long list of who was available...I know I know, you can't play the hindsight game...but when you cut a #4 overall pick only 4 years after his selection, it sets you back. What a fuggin marshmallow. He'll get snatched up quickly, though. I'm surprised we didn't try to do a sign and trade. The kid has value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
