Not sure, but I think haynesworth teammate, Randy Starks, is the next best option if Williams wasn't available.

Williams will get great money primarily because of the market.

I think that matching Cory Redding's contract w/Detroit (7 years, $49 million; $16 million in guarantees) is plausible. He is a slightly lesser-known commodity than Redding, at least to most other NFL fans that I've talked to; most just haven't introduced themselves to him. But his play definitely warrants discovering more about him. And would arguably justify that large of a contract, too. He has seven sacks in each of the last two seasons and good speed at 6'4", 311 pounds, which means that the Bills wouldn't lose speed at the three-tech over Larry Tripplett but would have 15-20 pounds more size, something we should be coveting more from our DT's; our defensive system calls for smaller, quicker players but there are limits that it seems we've already exceeded for generaly undersizedness.

Like I said, three-tech is where Williams currently plays and would play w/Buffalo. Essentially, he would play the same position Buffalo brought Darwin Walker here to play, which would mean that John McCargo, IMO, would switch back to the one-tech he seemed to be learning in '06. That makes sense, too; the 3-tech in our defense obviously needs to have the attributes of a bonafide pass-rushing threat and that isn't McCargo; he has the propensity to blow up some running plays but even coming out of college there were considerable doubts about his pass-rushing moves and ability to be a difference-maker as a rusher. But no worries; allow McCargo to start at the one-tech (backed up by Kyle Williams) and start Corey Williams- an authentic pass-rushing threat who will alleviate pressure for our admittedly overrated and overpaid DE's- at the three-tech (backed by Larry Tripplett) and we've got a nice rotation of DT's all of a sudden.
