    Whaley Pushed the Panic Button

    Ward just signed form 5.5m/yr, less than the contract A.Williams inked.

    To be fair, probably took less money to play with a contender, but how's Whaley looking right now. Zero rush to sign Williams, he pushed the panic button.

    Disagree. Williams can cover, Ward can't.

      Williams will prove to be a better player than Ward this year.

      The Bills locked up a player on the upswing of his career.

        I think it's too soon to pass real judgement on Williams because he's played the position for less than a year.

        Yes, Ward is an in the box safety but he's not a bad player in a deep half or quarter, just can't play middle of the field. My problem is simply value, we're cheapskates as it is, and there really wasn't an immediate rush to sign Williams. Guess the Bills brass though the market for safeties would be much higher.

        On the flip side, Donte Whitner is making 7m a year or so there's that.

          If the Bills did not sign Williams this year, he would have been MUCH MORE expensive to sign next year.

            Ward is also on the upswing of his career, he just has injury concerns.

            If healthy he's a stud.

              Just has injury concerns?

              OK, I don't want to read ANYTHING about EJ from this point on until the season plays out unless it is positive.

                Ward is healthy. He took $1.5 Million per less than what the Browns payed for Whitner. Same ole' Browns.

                  And Williams doesn't? He Williams has missed 14 games in three seasons. Ward has missed 10 in four seasons, by comparison.

                    Ward actually shows something on the field. He's oft injured. Meanwhile KneeJ shows nothing and is oft injured.

                      When you miss 12 games over a 2 year span when you've only played in the NFL 4 years, injuries are concern.

                        Well, I guess we will have to let the season play out to see who has a better year.

                        My money is on Aaron.

                            EJ showed a lot last year for a Rookie QB that missed much of the offseason.

                            He took the Pats* down to the final seconds in the opening game, Beat the Ravens & Panthers.............that is NOT NOTHING.

                              Keeping Williams long term is a good idea, dollars might not make a lot sense but if it didn't go to him it would have gone in Ralph's pocket so I like it!
