Mario Williams leaving Buffalo tonight (tentatively, to save your dog)

[Skooby]

Heard on wgr550 radio, they quoted it from here:

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/03/14/mario-williams-is-scheduled-to-leave-buffalo-tonight/

[Buffalogic]

wack

[Demon]

It was a fun 25+ hours for sure.

[wmoz11]

I'm assuming they're going off of PFT's post which says he's scheduled to leave tonight, just as LaCanfora tweeted a bit ago. Doesn't mean he's actually going to leave without a deal.

[TerrellOwensSharpie8]

hold it...thats FROM PFT.....they were wrong yesterday.....

[Slim]

He'll be gone forever then. What a waste of time.

[TacklingDummy]

Thats why realists never get their hopes up.

Besides money, why would he want to come to Buffalo when someone else will pay him just as much.

[djjimkelly]

he can afford to miss the flight

once he signs the deal

[wmoz11]

You all are ******s. LaCanfora already posted this earlier. He is SCHEDULED to leave tonight for another visit - assuming he doesn't sign a deal.

[Philagape]

This is from a PFT report, which that alone makes it somewhat less than trustworthy.

Did anyone think he was going to stay for a third day?

[SpillerThrills]

Per wgr550 radio.

please, when your gonna say that someone is breaking news like this get it right.... they said that profootballtalk just tweeted that Mario is scheduled to leave Buffalo. nothing was said about there not being a deal.

[nolimit]

this is not per wgr....this is per PFT....wgr is just reporting what PFT is reporting....coach sal said they have not heard anything regarding that claim

[Bangarang]

AmThis was rumored by PFT. The same PFT that said he was leaving last night. I'm not buying it just yet.

[Slim]

I just get the feeling that if he were to sign, he would have done it by now. Other teams got their free agents signed in a couple of hours. He's been in Buffalo for over 24.

[AndreReed83]

I never trust PFT. They take tweets and nuggets of rumors from real sources and then paint them with sweepingly generalized headlines.

[Go Go Buffalo14574]

He needs 2 be signed by tonight. Otherwise IMO is not going 2 look good. :( Add 10 more mil to the deal Buddy! That sound do the trick :). lol

[TerrellOwensSharpie8]

You all are ******s. LaCanfora already posted this earlier. He is SCHEDULED to leave tonight for another visit - assuming he doesn't sign a deal.


this.... PFT once again (because of hatred for Bills) twisting words to create false stories and panic among fans.

[Skooby]

please, when your gonna say that someone is breaking news like this get it right.... they said that profootballtalk just tweeted that Mario is scheduled to leave Buffalo. nothing was said about there not being a deal.

Where did I say that there wan't going to be a deal there, I was going to put that there was no deal as of yet but decided to just leave it & mistyped for 15 seconds.

[SquishDaFish]

Guys im listening to WGR on my iphone. It was a tweet from PFT that they were talking about.

[camelcowboy]

He's going leave tonight either I'll file this as a no **** tweet

[SpillerThrills]

Where did I say that there wan't going to be a deal there, I was going to put that there was no deal as of yet but decided to just leave it & mistyped for 15 seconds.


when I quoted your OP it said "no deal."

[Skooby]

when I quoted your OP it said "no deal."

I couldn't have said no deal if you quoted me. I can't change your posts, think about it.

[we are]

WGR kind of shooting down PFT

[Philagape]

I saw "no deal" too.

[BertSquirtgum]

I cannot take this ****. Sign or leave already. For ****s sake.

[NOT THE DUDE...]

pft changed their tweet to if they cant get a deal done...

[Skooby]

I saw "no deal" too.

I told you it was a 15 second mistype about there being no deal yet, no one quoted me writing & you guys are hanging on nothing. I'm sorry that I mistyped, ok ?

[SpillerThrills]

I couldn't have said no deal if you quoted me. I can't change your posts, think about it.

if you had finished editing your post before I had hit quote then I would have quoted your edited post, think about it.

[stuckincincy]

You know the rules here.

Off with your head !

:biggrin:

[wmoz11]

I wish Blame Canada was around to give us just a little nugget. Maybe whether or not we should be optimistic.

I saw him lurking in one of the threads last night.

[Skooby]

if you had finished editing your post before I had hit quote then I would have quoted your edited post, think about it.

I'm sorry about that, it's not quoted anywhere on here & I fixed it within 15 seconds. I can't help it that the whole BZ is hanging on for new information instantly. I literally just turned wgr550 for 30 seconds and they announced PFT had just written that.

[Philagape]

At least it's not your cousin's friend at the airport.

[Skooby]

At least it's not your cousin's friend at the airport.

True enough, though PFT has not been accurate as well as most folks. Seems like a pretty liquid situation here, in case you didn't notice.

[wmoz11]

Schefter and Mort just said that he actually has no other visits scheduled. Nothing concrete at least.

[TerrellOwensSharpie8]

much more reliable than Clayton and the clowns at pft

[BertSquirtgum]

I wish somebody would lock Clayton in a dungeon where he belongs.

[Skooby]

Well there you go, PFT said 3 other teams wanted to meet with Williams. It doesn't say Williams wants to see 3 other teams.

[ServoBillieves]

I'm so sick of the muppet and PFT.

"PFT just tweeted this!" "John Clayton tweets that Mario Williams is 'locked up' at Bills headquarters"

Until a deal is done and I get a VText, I'm not visiting the board...

... That being said I'll still be hitting refresh every 10 minutes.

[Ed]

Well if he does leave what's he going to do, just sit around twiddling his thumbs? Maybe other visits aren't scheduled yet, but if they decide to leave without a contract then that's the first thing his agent is going to do. And those other teams will gladly welcome him.

I wish this would just get done. I'm leaving for Puerto Rico tonight and a Mario Williams signing before my flight would be a pretty sweet way to start my vacation.

[Skooby]

Schefter reported that Mario is still meeting with Bills brass, so I can't see when he is leaving yet even if he has travel plans.

[jlgarsh]

I wish somebody would lock Clayton in a dungeon where he belongs.

John Clayton is Gollum, looking for his precious ring.

[ublinkwescore]

I wish somebody would lock Clayton in a dungeon where he belongs.

I hate John Clayton almost as much as Bill Belicheat and Tom Brady.

[NOT THE DUDE...]

If a girl doesnt put out by her 3rd date, time to move on... lol

[SquishDaFish]

I give up Im tired. I gotta stop refreshing and listening to WGR. When and IF it happens it happens

[Ed]

Jason LaCanfora tweeted that the Bills are still trying to close the deal and that Mario has at least one visit scheduled for tomorrow.

[FlyingDutchman]

Might want to change the title of this thread tentatively for the time being bc this many people are about to kick their dog

Close this Russ!!!!

[JCBills]

I feel like if he weren't going to, or at least didn't have some desire to, he would have left.

He wouldn't have brought up his fiancee to tour the area. That isn't even close to standard for FA visits.

If it wasn't appealing, they would have skipped town yesterday.

[Cali512]

I actually think with a first round WR and Williams=playoffs. Floyd?

Fixed, as per your logical request.

[JCBills]

If Bell leaves and they sign Mario, top needs are OLB and OT.

Solid WRs should be available 2-5.

[THE END OF ALL DAYS]

if he has not signed by now what the hell esle can the bills do? THeyve already put a ton of money on the table and the weather in b-low was awesome today so wtf
sign or screw off mario

[Cali512]

Yes but WR is an impact position. Floyd is the only WR i want in the draft, and OT can be found in the 2nd and 3rd along with OT. We need an impact WR and a solid OLB and OT. I think you can find a solid OT in round 2 and like Sheppard get a OLB in round 3

[Ickybaluky]

I heard a theory that may explain the delay. The Titans were one of the teams rumored to have interest in Williams, but they are meeting with Manning today. They have money to spend, but if they give Manning a big contract they won't be able to afford Williams. If not, they will be able to throw a big wad of cash at him.

It could be Williams is holding out to see what Manning is going to do, and if they don't get Manning he will see what they have to offer. If not, he signs with Buffalo.

Don't know how true that is, but it doesn't make sense for Williams to wait hang around so long and not sign.

[NOT THE DUDE...]

sign or screw off mario


it could be a situation where his agent is saying this team is offering this, will u top it...

could be lots of back and forth...

[Go Go Buffalo14574]

Here is what I think Mario is doing, his agent is contecting with other teams to better their offer. But when a team signs Peyton Manning the other teams would come in 2 play when they lost their shot with Manning. I think this is why everything is taking so long. When he leave's or Peyton signs with a team and a team out of Manning but goes 2 Mario. Then the Bill's are out but rite now ahead big time. This could go on until next week i'm hoping it ends today.

That is logical.

However, why would he hang around Buffalo and specifically at OBD to wait for the Titans. He must be ironing out details with the Bills.

He's been here over 24 hours, he ate several meals, he picked up his wife from the airport, they toured the city with other Bills and their wives.

What's next? He gonna share a bunk bed with Nix and Gailey and have pillow fights. I really can't see how he will extract himself from all this and go sign somewhere else. It would be a jerk move IMO.

I think Manning being from Tennessee college, and the weather being nice, and the money Tennessee has makes Manning go there. But i dont see Williams bringing his fiance for just a visit

well hold on one sec, a pillow fight could be a good way of seeing how strong he is...

[Go Go Buffalo14574]

Like I said maybe he is waiting on Manning too sign with a team and the losing teams get a chance at him. This might be why. Does make some sense

[Mahdi]

I agree but you don't just sit around OBD playing pool waiting for your agent to call you and tell you its a go with another team.

If he's done negotiating with Buffalo he would be gone. He MUST be working on details of a contract.

[BertSquirtgum]

I highly doubt that.

Another night?!

Mario Williams has left 1 Bills Drive for the evening. He plans to stay in Buffalo for the evening and return to 1 Bills Drive in the am.

I honestly believe his wife wanted to see the propertys around where they would have a house, and thats whats stalling. I think there on a tour right now with her. Also, its approaching dinner time. Mario is probably eating with our staff, again.

[MikeInRoch]

I'm afraid now. Time away from OBD means he's talking to other teams, I suspect.

Or time for him and his wife to finally be alone and figure out if this is the city they want

[RandolphDuke]

This. Is. Madness.

[MikeInRoch]

That's what I'm afraid of. That it's even still a question.

That's a cover story for kidnapping. All dogs saved, lol.

He will be at the sabres game shooting T-shirts so i believe he is accepting the town nicely

Solid WRs come out of every round. The game is won and lost in the trenches. I know WR is an impact position, but I don't think spending the #10 pick on a #2 WR is a great idea. Yeah, he's the only one you want, but he definitely isn't the only WR on their board.

I'm not exactly thrilled with taking a 1st round OT either, but if they land Williams and Bell walks it makes a lot of sense. Maybe they have faith in Hairston, who knows.

OLB there isn't one worth the #10 pick.

I just really friggin hope they move back. They have a lot of holes to fill.

[ublinkwescore]

it could be a situation where his agent is saying this team is offering this, will u top it...

could be lots of back and forth...

I doubt anyone has topped our offer let alone matched it. He skipped over Chicago without second thought or hesitation. that to me was the shot heard around the NFL. Buffalo is serious about getting back into the post season. and it's about damn time.

If a girl doesn't play the skin flute on the 1st date, it's time to flee.

If your date can't possibly ever really open her legs, it's time to flee.
