Not only that, but people are acting like we have better options. He is still significantly out-playing the younger, cheaper players Buffalo has brought in. It is not even close. Why do some fans always think they're smart by claiming the team should "move on" from an older, good player? Why not keep Kyle and fill all the glaring holes, in the mean time? A two year, above average, stopgap is what a smart football team would keep. 1 1
BillsCelticsAngelsBama Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 I don't follow the dollars at all so I would have no idea what to offer him. I just hope, if he wants, a chance to either coach or possibly have some type of ambassador role with the team.

A two year, above average, stopgap is what a smart football team would keep. There are some young proven talents in fa, Daquan Jones from Titans for instance will probably get 4-6 per year. Stuffs the run and pressures the QB, athletic and versatile, has played nose and end in 3-4 and one tech in 4-3.

If those images made you cringe or physically feel ill, you have your answer as a fan. The worst way to approach a possible new contract is to rely on emotion. Reed and Thomas only played one more year and did next to nothing. Bruce produced for the Redskins until he was 40, but wasn't the same player he was with us. Having said that, Kyle Williams is our best DT (at the moment) and a great leader so it makes sense to sign him to a 1 year 5 or so million dollar deal to keep him here as a rotational DT. Still need to address DT in free agency and the draft though.

I've thanked him, there's a chance his name goes on the Wall of Fame at the stadium, would love to have him back as a coach....but I'm moving on. However, I'm also trading Shady and Hughes. So there's that.... Kyle is beloved for good reason, but this team just turned a tremendous corner and often it was in spite of several key factors: poor QB play (as a QB, not a runner), really bad run Defense (see Kyle, et. al.), poor WRs / passing game (see QB play), and lack of pass rush (see DEs, but also no push up the middle). Kyle is just one cog in this wheel that needs to be re-invented. Love the guy, I'm grateful for his dedicated years to Buffalo, but it's time to move on and find the younger, stronger, faster DT that can do what we need the middle of that D-line to do...... I know, I know....I'll be a pariah on this board, but someone had to say it. No I agree. I offer him 4 maybe 5 mil. I certainly don't think it's worth giving him 6 a year.
Paulus Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 Member Takeo Spikes? Member London Fletcher? Sometimes "moving on" is stupid. 1 1 1
QCity Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 The actual figure isn't as important as the term, which has to be 1-year.
NewEra Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 1 year 6 mill sounds fair for both sides. I’ll be disappointed if he joins another team. Can you imagine if he went to the Pats? The horror
GreggTX Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 I can't imagine Kyle being anywhere above avg any more. Offer him a job as asst DL Coach so he can learn from Frazier and McD.
Saxum Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 I'd offer him an incentive based deal with a decent (+$4M base) plus tell him they want him to work with scouts selecting DL. They could use his skill and he'd make an excellent future scout or front office person.
vincec Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 Given that the Bills look to be rebuilding and 2 or 3 years away from contention at least, I'd be very surprised if Kyle Williams returns.
