Him being paid more than Trent Cole is hilarious.


But he was real fast at the combine!!

Seriously tho, if Trent was a FA this year I'm sure he'd get paid. Every year a new player emerges in FA as "the highest paid xxxx ever"

Just so happens Williams contract ran out at the perfect time. After I saw Jimmy Graham drag him 5 yards, I was kinda like "Meh". He's good, but not the best.

What they wrote when Drew signed with New Orleans. I'm happy when guys have the balls to sign with a team that's outside of the accepted media gizz markets


In all fairness Drew had only 2 teams interested, and only 1 after he took a Dolphins physical.

Everyone in the league was dying to get Williams. I don't know that a DE can turn around a franchise like a QB can. And don't say Reggie White, b/c Buffalo doesn't have Brett Favre.

Also, we had an entirely new coaching staff come in as well. Call me crazy but I don't see Chan Gailey hoisting the Lombardi any time soon. Unless he gets Reggie Ball back.

Oh I know, but Trent also signed an extension, which is why I used him.

Trent Cole might be the most pissed off man in America right now!

Up to 55.something if he gets all the incentives, signed yesterday.

Not too bad for the best DE in the game.

Bills are on the verge of being capable of some very good things.

Well I'm certainly convinced now!

I just don't see the Bills doing much. Again. I just do not and cannot believe in Chan Gailey after I watched him for years at Ga. Tech. He's just a mediocre coach at best.

I'll stand by that comment, for my money he is the best DE in the league. He is a top pass rusher, and is very good against the run.

Their defense has great potential. Especially if Kyle Williams comes back full strength

The bills arent of the verge of doing shite. Pats still own that division. Jets are tough, and Miami can only get better.

The Bills are a team who only needed a few pieces to do something decent. I'm not saying they will win the SB, but they won't be bad.

Well, any team that loses a key component of their offense will struggle. He will be better this year though, so you have to assume he'll stay healthy.

I'll give you Allen and probably JPP. Ware isn't a de. Are you seriously saying Cam Jordan is better than Williams?

not currently cuz they run a 3-4. played de in college, and with cowboys when they ran 4-3. talented enough to play backer in 4-3 on running downs. cam jordan is probably the next reggie white.
