The Associated Press reported Thursday that the Bills plan to cut the defensive end this offseason, per an unnamed source with direct knowledge of discussions.
 

The report meshes with NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport stating earlier this month that the disgruntled Williams could reach the free agent market. There is a "clear, fundamental disconnect" between coach Rex Ryan and his defensive line and Williams might be at the heart of the trouble, Rapoport said at the time.

I really would like to sign a veteran pass rusher, but not Mario. Ziggy Ansah is a free agent, I believe, though. That's a player I wouldn't mind us chasing. 

Ziggy on one side and Kony on the other with Star and KK, that would an excellent DLine as any in the NFL.

He had 14.5 sacks as a 4-3 DE in 2014 and hes not a good fit for Ryan's 3-4. He better than CJ at this point but he's also 30 years old. Im sure he will get more money in FA than we are willing to give an aging DE. 

He's chased money before and look how that worked out.  Maybe he'll "settle" for comfort, being home, and winning rings.

I would absolutely love to get Ziggy but he won't be a free agent until 2017 and even then the Lions could and likely will use their 5th year option or extend him. And if he hit the open market he'd get a Suh-like contract, something DG probably wouldn't go for.

That would make sense. I wonder could a team like NE swoop in and get him. If anybody can make a big name player take a pay cut, it's them.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
