Pat Williams wants to stay in B'Lo

""I don't think they're talking now but I hope they get a deal done," said Williams, who joined the Bills in 1997 as an undrafted free agent. "I want to stay here. I'm only looking for what's fair out there for D-tackles, not something outrageous."

Williams, a native of Monroe, La., isn't paying lip service to western New York when he says he loves it here. He and his wife, Valarie, and two daughters have a home in Orchard Park, he operates his own auto detailing shop, and his charitable foundation is based in Buffalo.

"Everything is here for me," Williams said. "It's not my home down south anymore. I pay taxes here. I've been here eight years. Buffalo is my home."

This is good news to me. Sorry if this has been posted.

I hope he stays, especially if he's not after a Warren Sapp type deal.

With Drew restructuring we should have no problem resigning Pat with a reasonable salary.. cool to see hes got loyalty

[Devin]

warms my heart man. Loyalty is so rare in this business. What a class act.

In the article, there's more about how he has set up his charitable foundations in Buffalo and he learned about giving from Ted Washington.

I might just have to go out and get a Williams jersey because of this. Its great to hear guys like this instead of watching ESPN and hearing T.O. this and Ron Artest that.

If this is true, then Pat Williams is my new favorite Bill. Hopefully he's not just paying lip service to the fans. We'll see if he takes less to stay in Buffalo.

Hopefully TD won't be an ass like he was to RB who said like the same thing about staying in B-Lo and restructuring his contract. PW has GOT to be resigned, more than JJ IMO.

I agree. But they both need to be resigned. JJ is a very good left tackle and he's still pretty young. The only thing holding him back are the injuries.

i would love to have him back.

Ruben Brown just wasnt effective anymore.

while jj seems to get dinged up alot.. we have a good back up in price.. and no one can question jj's toughness.. he has been out there with a bad shoulder like it was nothing.. in the press confrence, drew said he popped it out and he thought it looked bad.. drew went over to him on the ground and jj said.. dont worry about it.. i just need to get it popped back in.. i will be right back..

I usually try not to play the wet blanket, but that bolded statement is very telling. He want's what is fair, that means market value, which also means what good DTs are making NOW in new deals. He will want a good bit of money. IMO, I think he will end up getting about what Adams makes, should be a little below. I don't see it as a Bruschi move yet. We shall see. Peerless Price and Antoine Winfield also both said that they would like to stay in Buffalo too.

The more players we have like that the more w's we will get.
