I think Williams is just waiting for an injury settlement.

I don't see this guy on the team come Opening Day.

Cut.

I guess we'll just have to live with Urbik, Incognito, Richardson and Miller.

Yahoo!!!!!!

[IlluminatusUIUC]

With Mike out and now Chris on the bubble, could we be facing a Williams shortage?

This O-line is worrisome.....

Can anyone think of an offensive lineman free agent signing that ever worked out for the bills? Should be a final lesson.

I think Marrone wanted him. Don't know why because he had some red flags.

I agree.

The lesson is that you need to draft OL early and often.

5th and 7th rounders isn't going to do it anymore than it would with the typical "skill positions".

Incognito worked out before for a year.

I expect him to work out again.

So did all three of our o-line picks last year. Kujo fell in the draft like a rock, Richardson was a big guy development project and then Henderson had major off field issues.

@viccarucci: Rex Ryan on Chris Williams' absence from #Bills OTAs: I dont know if hes going to be planning on coming back or what; I haven't seen him.

So...not ideal?

[SpikedLemonade]

So...not ideal?

Nope.

A 32-year old Guard who has not played in a year and a half, a rookie drafted in the middle of the 3rd round, a 2nd year player who never saw the playing field last year and whatever Urbik is seems to be our options at these two important positions.

I believe RB Brown hasn't showed up either, IIRC. Both are most likely cuts, maybe early.

We know why Bryce Brown is not there -- he become a father.

I had not heard that...thanks.
