Mario Williams Reportedly Being Cut In Offseason

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.

    • Yep he made the comment " I dont know what they were doing out there at that point" in the press conference. Let's be real they all got paid but they also know his system suppresses there offensive potential.
    • Yup the casuals on Facebook ive gotten 85 laughing or angry emojis so far for pointing it out.  The amount of them throwing a fit because the canes were booed is insane  
    • Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.
