Alshon Jeffery in the 2nd would be a perfect scenario for us. His skill set would be a great complement to Stevie.

Schefter asked Chan Gailey earlier today on NFL 32 whether the Bills are done in FA and Gailey responded that he and Nix would talk about where they stand (salary cap wise) tomorrow. The vibe I got was there was still a signing out there that they wanted to make but its all dependent on what they have left in the piggy bank.

JW, Break into One Bills Drive and get us an answer. I promise to pay for your bail. Mostly promise. Maybe. No.

That's probably gas.

Righteo! Thanks for the input and enjoy the game!

JW, How's everything looking on your end? Kinda looking bleak here...

Gotta love the optimism here. Odds are the Bills and Mario spent the last few hours talking things over and Mario decided that he wants to see what everyone else is offering. I think we would all do the same thing when looking for a job. It is what it is folks.

And its over. Ugh.

The 7pm press conference thing is a hoax.

I suppose a trip back to One Bills Drive is better than a trip to the airport.

Different side of the coin, I think this looks bad for us. Notice how Chris Brown's message made sure to include the terms "standard procedure", ie nothing special. If things were truly in the imminent contract signing stage, he wouldn't have posted anything and instead waited for Williams to sign and THEN break the news. Nix is probably shaking Mario's hand, telling him the Bills will be here with their offer and wishing him the best in his future visits. Mario leaves and never comes back.

It would only be fitting for him to sign with New England. Complete the circle of misery.

E) On the first flight out of here looking for another team to come close to the contract the Bills threw it at him. I really, really, really wish I could believe...but its not happening now. It just isnt.

This is the problem. It's not ALL about money. Mario Williams is going to get paid, everyone knows this. But he's going to take the Bills huge offer to a playoff contender and tell them to get in the ballpark. If they do, he'll pick them over us...guaranteed. I actually think there is zero chance that Mario Williams signs here now. It really sucks to say this everyone, but its clear we were being used by both players to help them secure spots with other teams. It sucks, but its true.

Swing and a miss.

If Mario signs, this thread is going to be absolutely legendary for the celebration that breaks out. If Mario doesn't sign, this thread is going to be absolutely legendary for the mass suicides that break out.

I dont think we'll have much money left after these two to do anything in free agency. Not without cutting some players in the process.

Oh dear, this thread is going to get messy.

WHOA! That's a crazy deal.

They're going after Eddie Royal too. They want three new WRs for their rookie QB.

I'll spring for a case of Genesse for him. Maybe even an order from Duffs. No gift certificates from Wegmans though, I'm not made out of money Mario!

Add Vinny Curry in there as a 2nd rounder and I'm completely satisfied. Who am I kidding? Just with Mario Williams I'd be completely satisfied.

Yep, props to Metz for breaking this.

Nix, take some five hour energy and get both of these guys SIGNED. Make them offers they cannot refuse (more so for Williams than Meachem...sorry Robert)

I'm 1 of 3 so far! Where's Trevor Scott's plane right now?
