I’m pretty sure the Bills have taken Mario Williams hostage. He has been in Buffalo for 24 hours with no contract signed or any real news whatsoever. This is the longest free agent visit I can think of.

Whatever it takes to get him to don the bison helmet

if i were mario williams, i would demand the Bills take me on a tour of the best wing joints in town, on their dime.

then i’d leave and sign somewhere else where i could win.

Seems like Mario is all about the money, not winning

I enjoyed this.

i wonder if this deal is friendly for when the Eagles fire Andy Ried and the new guy clears house, cutting everyone and starting from scratch.

well that was dumb. jackson is and never will be a number 1.

They took him out to dinner and clubs last night, then flew his fiance in today to tour the city, so the first part of your plan is already complete. It’s kind of pathetic.

Contract info is meaningless w/o saying how much is guaranteed – just ask McNabb.

Which spells doom for the Texans. With the cap space we have to work with, I’d think any deal with him would have to be backloaded to an extent. And that, along with the concept of being on a team that could win the division again next year, may not appeal to him if he’s look to get paid right now, right away. I bet the release of Eric Winston, which shocked the hell out of me, is related to the effort to offer Mario as much up front as possible.

if i wanted more wings, i’d fly my wife in, too, and do the tour all over again, but in reverse order.

I think I heard only 15 million is guaranteed so it is relatively friendly considering what a guy like Pierre Garcon just got. Which is good for the Eagles because they won’t be hurt too much after they have to cut him because a large man ends his career.

Which I can only hope is next year.

This deal did open up $6.5 mil in cap room…maybe they’ll go after Tulloch or Lofton now.

You are the worst kind of Eagles fan. When they win the East next year, you don’t deserve to get any kind of enjoyment out of it.

Battery fight?

This Eagles fan sees the ownership and management. A faux gold standard. Lurie only cares about padding his own pockets so he can produce films. Lurie’s wife was the one who kicked Spags out, hence the reason he won’t come back (heard from extremely reliable source). Reid’s a .500 coach since 2005. We’ve always been told, “I should have prepared the team better”. At what point is the team prepared enough so that it can win a championship? The extremely hit or miss drafting the past six years. I want a championship, period. Enough of the Giants winning them.

I want a championship, period.

Well no fuckin shit, who doesn’t? Obviously Reid isn’t perfect but you hate on him WAY too much considering he has had the most successful era of any Eagles head coach. I just don’t see the need to fire him because last year was a disappointment. Still finished one game out of first place and won the last four games of the season. Can’t he have back-to-back bad (read: .500) seasons before we toss him out and end up with some shithead that goes 5-11 every season?

Andy Reid has turned into Jeff Fisher redux. Around a long time, players like playing for him, however his own deficiencies drag him down. Had the Eagles beat say the Niners last year or someone else, we wouldn’t have this conversation, since the Eagls would’ve won the division. However, I’m sick of excuses from Lurie, Banner and crew. Either go all in or time to rebuild.

You’re making my point for me. They are one win away (or one play; Ronnie Brown NOT randomly throwing the ball in the air mid-tackle, etc.) from winning the division last year. Obviously, the expectations were high considering all the free agent signings. But the way the team ended the season and considering that talent now has an entire offseason to work together, I see nothing wrong with giving Reid another shot last year.

I don’t comment here too often but I read most stuff, and you are just WAY too reactionary. I remember when Philly stomped Dallas in the first meeting and were seemingly back on the right track, you were all over the bandwagon again, only to be screaming for Reid’s head in the very next loss. Chill out man, he’s been a good coach who unfortunately hasn’t won the whole thing. If they take a step back again this year, sure, talk about fire him. But they are two seasons removed from a Division Title. You seem to think there are quality head coaches growing on trees that will just take over and instantly win a Super Bowl. I don’t know if that’s the case.

I’m sure the Eagles were 4 Bills interceptions away….

Ha. That’s one of the few early-season games where the Eagles didn’t blow a lead late. But they did make it somewhat interesting at the end.

I’m just saying, I think with that roster and the way the season ended, I wouldn’t be remotely shocked if the Eagles won the division next year.

i wouldn;t pay this undersized diva with gator arms half of that money. in fact, i’d trade his ass

or to borrow a southern phrase, i’d trade him for a dog, then shoot the dog
