Interesting take on why GW hasn't had a contract extension.
"Who’s to say Donahoe didn’t already offer Williams an extension, and that it was turned down by Williams? All this time, we’re assuming Donahoe hasn’t made the offer, but that may not be the story.
Although Williams made some mistakes his rookie season by trusting coaching buddies with a lack of NFL experience, he does have some smarts.
He hasn’t objected to the additions of more experienced coaches, and, in fact, may have initiated the moves to bring in people like Gilbride and Steckel.
And maybe, just maybe, he even looked at what he might have on the field for the final year of his contract, and decided to “go for it.” Roll the dice.
It makes sense. What kind of raise could he expect coming off 3-13 and 8-8 seasons if he agreed to an extension now? A raise you and I would love, no doubt, but compared to the new deal he can command if the Bills make the playoffs and make any kind of run at all?"
