No thanks. We have Rankins and Onyemata is coming on. If we bring back Davison that's a good 3 man rotation (and we still have Stallworth). That's a good, young core.

Williams would be 36, expensive, and take away from the young guys' development while likely not being any better.

He had 0 sacks over his last 5 games (and only 2 QB hits), and only 1.5 over his last 10. He was clearly losing juice near the end.

That's in stark contrast to Onyemata, who had all 4.5 of his sacks in his last 5 games when he started coming on.

And yes sacks is just one measurement, but they also finished with near identical tackles. Williams had 34 with 21 solo and Onyemata had 35 with 23 solo. Both had 1 batted pass and 1 forced fumble (Williams also had 1 recovery).

Williams did beat him in QB hits 14 to 6, but he also outsnapped Onyemata 656 to 616.

So would you rather an aging Williams who is more expensive, or an young Onyemata who is really starting to come along?

If we were to get another DT I would hope it would be someone more productive or not in their mid-late 30s. So pass on Williams.
