All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Former 1st rounder out of Vandy. Had a lot of upside. Plays mostly at G but can play at OT as well.
ESPN Free Agent Tracker gives him a B:
"He has size and punch and is good in the run game. In the passing game, he is a little bit of a waist-bender and has struggled to adjust but nevertheless is a quality starter."

Free agent G/T Chris Williams is visiting the Bills Wednesday.
Williams started every game at left guard for the Rams last season, turning in a shaky performance at best. He'd still be a nice get for a team as a versatile backup. The o-line needy Rams reportedly remain interested as well. Mar 12 - 9:04 AM
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports the Texans are interested in free agent G/T Chris Williams.
Williams started all 16 games at left guard for the Rams last season, but was overmatched both as a pass protector and run blocker. The former No. 14 overall pick of the Bears shouldn't be looked at as a starter, though the Rams appear to still see him that way and remain interested in re-signing Williams.
He has been at OG since 2010 and has been inconsistent at best. What's interesting is his 2nd year (2009) he played mostly RT and played pretty well. They moved him to LT near the end of the year and he played decent there. He was slated to be the starting LT in 2010, got hurt, came back and was told he's been moved to LG. He's been there every since. I wonder if the thought is to see if he can still run the RT spot, or even get him into a competition for the swing spot at both positions. He's been starting, so the latter is less likely.
meh, one of those guys that hangs around because he was once a 1st round pick. Didn't make it as a LT, then didn't make it as a RT, finally lost his job as a reserve swing tackle to Jonathan Scott. The Rams let him play G last year.

Sounds about what they are looking for.
Fair assessment. I'd venture to say he'd be better than Colin Brown and debatable if he's better than Legursky. I'd prefer him as a depth guy but in today's NFL he's a grade C starter which is just what you said "Meh".
Well he just signed a 4 year 13.5 million deal with us.
I have no problem with this at all.
Marrone is a good OL guy and it is not such a huge deal that we cannot cut him after next year if he sucks, if anything though he is solid depth at guard and can play tackle if he HAS to.
This is the new Bills folks and to be honest I like it.
I just hope Dareus, Gilmore, Kiko, and Glenn get extended and paid.
9 million a year and 8 million to a guard which by most are not considered key positions would have prevented keeping these 4 which are key positions.

However, they expect him to start with that deal though.
I disagree as Legursky was a spot starter for the Steelers/Bills. I think he might be more of a Erik Pears type guy. As he's better then the rest to start but he's not a great player and in a perfect world be a better depth guy.
