Mike Mularkey says he'll go over all the practices on film before he decides how to move forward on the offensive line. All weekend long the starters were Mike Gandy, Bennie Anderson, Trey Teague, Chris Villarrial and the slimed down Mike Williams. His gut is almost gone and Mularkey says his RT spent much of the off season working with strength and conditioning coach Brad Roll.
Mike Willimas in great shape

If he's faster than what he was, he might just be a future candidate for LT - although if we are doing fine there, maybe we won't need him. Whether we do or don't, this is still great news!!!

Mike Williams heard that I bought his jersey (only 3rd jersey I have bought). I did not buy his actual jersey for if I did you would be saying "He lost a lot of fat and muscle" or "the equipment manager ought to be fired for providing him a jersey that small."

As well as Tagliabue has run this league, change is inevitable. I'm confident he'll handle it well.

With M.Williams, though, I think his transformation began once he got his butt into training camp last year and began working with McNally. I don't kow what their relationship is like, but Big Mike seems to have made more improvement since then than he did in his entire pro career prior to that. It's as if he has found someone that he likes (or at least respects) and wants to work hard for. And, for Bills fans, that's great to see because the team needs him to become the kind of 10-15 year fixture on the offensive line--even if it's on the right side and not the left--that he was expected to become.
If he shows in training camp that his improvement last season was not a short-term thing and that he is ready to take his game to the next level, I would agree that they should try to extend his contract in a way that will compensate him well for a RT, but won't put the team in salary cap hell in the future--which is something that wouldn't be impossible to do at this stage.Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. And, thus it was that they surrendered their freedom; not with a bang, but without even a whimper.

By not extending or restructuring MW's contract they make it easier to cut ties with him. However if his performance jumps up another notch they'll lock him up for a few more and free up cap space for next season.

Wouldn't it be nice if Williams actually performed the way he gets paid? The guy made awesome progress last year and I hope he continues to get better. I think he has all the tools to play in many pro bowls. And in turn, he should be paid like it. But until he proves that he can play at that level for 16 games, his contract should be reconstructed and extended. I would like to see smaller base salaries with larger performance bonuses. I feel that you should be paid for what you do, not what your potential may be. Donahoe really screwed up that contract and I doubt it will happen to any other Bills in the future. I am a big believer in performance bonuses. You wanna get paid like a pro bowler? Play like one. Of course people will argue that the player has to have guaranteed money just incase he gets hurt, that a bunch of BS IMO. You play, you get paid, it's that simple. But I live in a fantasy world
