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.

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.

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
bisonbrigade Posted March 12, 2014 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.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 I hope the Bills bring someone in who I have heard of before CBF

It was also his first season as a guard so maybe there is room for improvement.
bills1960 Posted March 12, 2014 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.

And of course there is the whole "started 16 games last season" thing. Good swing backup . Now that is some quality comedy!

MTLBills Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter 2m G Chris Williams signing a four-year, $13.5 million deal that includes $5.5 million guaranteed with the Buffalo Bills.
BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Now get Nolan signed. Not like he can leave Buffalo right now anyways!
Bangarang Posted March 12, 2014 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.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted March 12, 2014 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! CBF
Rubes Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 WIth that contract, sounds like he's being brought in to be the starter.

Bufcomments Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 is this guy an upgrade over Legursky ? somebody help me please ? and please dont tell me they overpayed for another backup

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?

Seems a former GREAT GM disagrees with you 'he sucks' comment considering where he has him rated http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/freeagency/?year=2014&position=45&type=-1
