Mario movement rumors (MERGED) Signs with Buffalo $100 million

Well, not knocking Mario, but if money is more important than winning, perhaps it's best that he becomes a Bill.
 
mario is ok not worth the money IMO esp in a 3-4 D and ESp when we showed we can manage without him

and even more he gets injured to much a can get beat buy Elite Tackles

Mario Williams is already in Buffalo two hours into free agency. Did he move to Rochester this off-season?

Maybe the Texans can claim tampering by the Bills? It's odd that Mario would be in Buffalo that quickly, unless his agent told him to be there this afternoon.

Most of us do want him. But we realize it's a business and it would be detrimental to the rest of the team to give him a big deal with our current cap situation. We have 2 guys at his position that we can roll with. We can live without him, whether we want to or not.

Has to be tampering in some way right? Even if his agent was saying be there, that would mean that he somehow knew the Bills wanted to meet with him..
 
The guy has two Fendi man bags in that picture, along with multiple Lamborghinis. The guy is all about the $$$$, don't fool yourselves.

Not a bad gig when you can get it. Have a team throw mad cash at you and still get to take plays off. You're right MW has always been about MW.
 
Well Did Leech and pollard really stick it up our Ass ....... ?????

well i know leech did in the Regular season he was poping up holes big time that game ... playoffs not so much ... well i guess thats how it is in this day of age in the NFL
 
FWIW Joe Buscaglia ‏ @JoeB_WGR
Source tells me there's a growing sentiment amongst current #Bills players that the Mario Williams deal has a good chance of happening.

The Bills want to make Williams the highest-paid defensive player in the league, with a deal better than the six-year, $91.5 million contract that Julius Peppers signed with the Bears in 2010. The Bills’ offer to Williams will apparently include more than $91.5 million in total money, more than the $40.5 million in the first three years that the Bears gave Peppers, and more than the $42 million guaranteed that the Bears gave Peppers.

Buffalo’s full-court press for Williams started with G.M. Buddy Nix and defensive coordinator Dave Wannstedt flying to North Carolina to pick Williams up, and Williams is now having dinner with Nix, Wannstedt, CEO Russ Brandon, head coach Chan Gailey and defensive tackle Kyle Williams. The whole gang will try to get Williams to sign tonight, or tomorrow morning at the latest.

Damn, that's a shame. But, it's business in a mercenary entertainment industry. We root for the uniforms, not the individual players these days.

Hate this.

If he's gonna sign with a team other than us, then sign with a contender.

The Bills are a joke and will never win a title with Fitzpatrick, and won't win one while Mario is there or anytime after he retires.

I want to see Mario win a ring.
 
Can't blame a guy for setting up his family financially for generations.

Can blame some fans for being such dingleberrys they act like what the rest of the NFL world sees as a great player is really a pedestrian slacker.
 
You know I hope he is a Bill and he signs tonight then we can be done with Super Mario.

Also I hope this is payback to the Bills for beating the Oilers because I think he will be a bust due to injuries real or imagined.

Hope the Buffalo media doesn't handle him with baby gloves.

Bye bye Mario.

Just wish I could have said that before the season started last year at least then we would have had some draft choices to show for it.

rep your way....its funny watching people lash out at these guys b/c they're taking more money to go play elsewhere. alot of this same sentiment is happening in the chris meyers thread.....as if they wouldn't do the same thing....ridiculous.
 
Can't wait for this thread to be officially over.

Looks like Mario going to Bills. You know I hope he is a Bill and he signs tonight then we can be done with Super Mario.

At this time this thread is the 2nd most viewed and replied thread in Texans history. Who the hell is Moulds anyway but whatever. I think the" Fire Kubiak Thread" has a chance of overtaking this thread at some point in the furure.

Thanks to Lucky for keeping this thread going. Yeah believe it.

No hard feelings.

Now the real fun begins.

I have no problem with him taking the money and leaving. It is the right thing for him to do. My issue is the overall talent level of the Texans took a huge hit because we basically get nothing.

I know we get a losers pick but I think that is next year.

Does anyone know when we would recieve our compensotory pick for losing Mario?

I hate to see him go, but he isn't work the kind of money the Bills (apparently) are throwing at him. I wish him no ill will though. If the money was right, I'd sure as hell change jobs.

Seeing how we are now realizing how much money we actually spent last year and how it is haunting us now, you could view last season as an "all in". They probably knew they weren't going to be able to retain everyone and just wanted to keep the team intact for one strong attempt, unfortunately everyone got injured.
 
With Mario Williams leaving the Texans without not really accomplishing much, do you all still think he was the right choice for number one pick instead of Vince Young or Reggie Bush?

Compensatory picks are awarded one year later than the off-season of the departures. So next off-season.

Dude you are going to break an arm trying to pat yourself on the back so much and your vituperative clown suit is wearing thin.

Well, hindsight will usually give you a better chance of being right almost all the time. Still, I'd take Mario over the other two with present day knowledge. But given what we know now, it would have probably been better to trade down for more picks.
 
Wasn't like the Texans needed Mario to win in the playoffs, did that without him some might even say Brooks & Barwin where big reason why? What Texans & 49'ers, for that matter, lacked was another WR & someone capable of hanging onto the football fielding punts & kickoffs. :texflag:

You know I don't think anyone would trade. Just the Texan's luck, the year we get the No.1 there is no Manning, Luck, RG3 etc. that we could leverage into multiple picks.
