They got a good deal on Bills jerseys with Williams on the back. Signing Williams' is easy than forcing current players to change their names.

BillsFanM.D. Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I don't know how well he played but Polian likes him. I do know how well the Bills LGs played so it'd have to be an upgrade. he went to Vandy so that's a cognitive plus...Meanwhile our current LG is from the state of West Virginia.... Known losers like the Packers, Patriots and Steelers build thru the draft and mid tier free agents like morons. I didn't watch a ton of St. Louis oline. Crazy I know? Man this glass is hard to fill halfway! I'd be more interested in Richie Incognito even though he's a cognitive negative There's some solid comedy in this thread... For the record, the guy has 'survived' 6 years in the NFL so that speaks to some ability. He can play guard and tackle in a pinch. Good swing backup. Get 'r done.

RyanC883 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Makes sense - another guy not on CBSSportsline list of top 166 free agents. I wonder how old Russ is going to package this! So far free agency has been great for Ralphy- he escapes having to pay his top dog. Not on NFL top list either: http://www.nfl.com/freeagency To me this has to be a cheap depth signing. And will not eliminate the need to draft 1-2 OL in the draft. We will need to bring in Spikes or an actual starter to free up space to draft OL if we don't get a starter in FA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisonbrigade Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Really why waste money on a "shaky" player like this. Is it to much to ask to sign someone who can actually play, not just fill a roster spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it to much to ask to sign someone who can actually play, not just fill a roster spot. How much do you think it will cost? And it won't be nice to have a former starter/ 1st round pick as depth? It was also his first season as a guard so maybe there is room for improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills1960 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 This is the kind of signing I can't tolerate. Caroll is a perfect depth guy but trying to spin this guy off as a starter would have me saying "same old Bills", which I'm reluctant to do until we're later in the process.

They aren't flying in a guy who is only going to play if someone else gets hurt the day after free agency starts. And of course there is the whole "started 16 games last season" thing. Good swing backup . Now that is some quality comedy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was also his first season as a guard so maybe there is room for improvement. according to the chicago fan up thread, its not his first year at guard. also, what we dont know is if this is depth, or an answer to the hole. if depth, cool. if the answer.... a bit worrisome. i know there was some talk that they might go with a guy that could play RT or LG and let the BPA in the draft dictate which way they went and the FA could fill the other spot.... if thats what they are thinking here, im not enthused.

Bangarang Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Williams sucks. If we're bringing him in to start then that scares me because he's barely better than guys like Colin Brown and Legurski. If we're bringing him in as depth then OBD's priorities are whack. We need starters first and not garbage busts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bills Fan Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 The Bills should have brought in all the free agents they could since there is a chance all flights out of Buffalo today will be cancelled they will be forced to stay here bahahahaha!

You raise good points. Now let's examine Chicago. They drafted both Williams & Carmi (sp) as 1st round picks. They were both generally thought of as 1st round talents. Was Chicago's evaluation that off, poor coaching, or they both whiffed on 2 stiffs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
