G Chris Williams cut

[The King]

According to a Rodak tweet. Chris Williams was cut due to a failed physical.

Oh noez, there goes the season!

I'm excited about John Miller and Richie Incognito as our potential starting guards. That should be a solid L/R duo.

McCoy will probably tweet a thank you at some point.

Cut or an injury settlement? Either way, it's not surprising.

[elltrain22]

He probably got hurt when he found out they cut him

[Ed]

Either way they save themselves about $2.5 mil in cap space this year and I believe another $2.5 mil or so next year. That can all be rolled together to help re-sign Dareus.

[Victor7]

About time. That move was bad from day one. Dude was never healthy.

Well, I'm glad they moved on from him in terms of "best for the team", but in terms of "best for the person" I hope his back can heal. Once upon a time, I'd see stuff like this and just be happy we moved on, now I see a relatively young person with chronic back issues trying to put on his shoes after popping a handful of pain pills and muscle relaxers.

Breaking News: Chris Williams is now standing in the doorway to One Bills Drive and refuses to let anyone enter until they resign him. Luckily, he has been unable to stop anyone from simply stepping around him.

Good one, I admit.

LOL! homers were super excited when stupid Whaley signed him.

Regardless of the injury, this was one of Whaley's dumbest moves.

Whaley has an eye for LB talent but not for OL talent.

I think this is about the Dareus deal. Needed a little more cap space.

Then Cassel is dead man walking.

Was a stupid move from day one. Guy was a scrub his entire career.

[GingerP]

Since he failed his physical, I wonder if he files a greivance. If so, there will be a cap hold for half his number until the greivance is heard (probably not until next season). Usually, that results in some sort of settlement betweent the team and player where he is paid to go away, and that settlement amount will count toward the cap.

Or... he could revert to IR until an injury settlement is negotiated.

I don't think that has very much to do with it really, this has everything to do with them freeing up a roster spot and getting rid of an underachieving perpetually injured guard.

He wasn't in line for any meaningful playing time this year anyways.

[Bill Cody]

when he didn't show for OTA's you could see this coming

I agree, health is most important.

But he has plenty of money to ease the pain.

MANY people with no money suffer just the same.

Then Cassel is dead man walking.

I agree, unless Cassel separates himself & is named the starter, the Bills don't want or need to pay that kind of money to a backup.

Guess that 6% went to zero.
