@RapSheet I'm told by a source Bills DE Mario Williams has been informed he's been released.


Does this mean some team can sign him immediately?

What sort of contract would he be looking for?

Yes, if released, he can be signed immediately.  

 

Demarcus Ware, at 31, the same age, signed a 3 year $30m deal with Denver.  I would assume a contract for Mario would be somewhere similar to this one.

Mario would probably sign with a winning team... but he would be perfect as a LEO.

If we don't want Vernon, this is the guy we should be targeting. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Mario would be a sweet consolation if we don't get Vernon

Yes, some foolish team that likes old defensive ends with an arrow pointed sharply down can overpay him at this point.

I think Mario Williams would be a "smarter" signing than Olivier Vernon.

Only one season removed from 14.5 sacks. I think he has a year or two of high level play left.

I'm sure his best days are behind him, but I still think he has some gas in the tank. Strangely, I'm not too worried about last season if he was really dogging it at times in Buffalo's 3-4 instead just being ineffective.

I agree with this.  His sack totals dropped in large part due to scheme.

Yep, sign him now. Money isn't an issue. He will play anywhere for cash.

Right now, the Jaguars don't have to clear anything to sign him.

 

Other teams might.

 

Sign him now.

I'm sure Williams is going to take a look around and check his options before signing with a new team 15 minutes after his release....a deal for Mario would probably cost half what it would cost to attempt to sign Vernon.  I'm sure Dave will kick the tires on this at the right time...

I want to live in a world where Mario Williams is on the Jacksonville roster at a reasonable price.

 

I don't ask for much, other than a new car every six months, my own private island, an open tab at seven bars of my choice and a 25,000 square foot home, but can I have this one thing?!

I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!
