Sounds good to me. Get it done sooner than later. Whaley also speaks specifically of an extension for Mario too, which would help provide cap space.
To create the cap room to accommodate anything more than some minimum-salaried players who would be added via free agency, the Bills would figure to restructure their deal with defensive end Mario Williams. Three years remain on Williams’ agreement, which calls for him to make $19.4 million this year, $19.9 million next year, and $16.5 million in 2017.
“He could free up the most and make it the most logical, because what we would do is not only restructure, but extend him similar to” what the Bills recently did with defensive tackle “Kyle Williams, so these guys retire as Buffalo Bills,” Whaley said. “We want to set a precedent that we retain our own and we have them retire as Buffalo Bills. I think that’s a sentiment we’re trying to show the players on our roster now.
“Not only are we getting good players, but we’re retaining our good players as long as possible. And everybody wins. Mario gets a couple of more years, he’s going to retire with a Buffalo Bill, and we get some cap relief.”
