Per Breer the deal is done.

I can't wait to see the cost of someone with 32 choices to live ending up in Buffalo NY.

ESPN is reporting it too. I am really shocked by his decision. He could've gotten comparable money from a team that is already established, or at least much closer than the Bills are.

Anyways, good for the Bills. He is a beast and their defense just improved a great deal.

On a crappy team, no less. They must have paid him a king's ransom and then some.

I think when the money comes out we will see the Bills blew everyone out of the water. To not even visit any other team I think he must have known that no team was even going to come close to that. So as long as he was comfortable in the city its an easy decision for him.

Where is that poster who was for sure it was not about the money for Mario, it was about playing for a contender and winning...

It's always about the money.

Oh well.
I hope he misses 14 more games over the next two seasons again.

I hate to admit it but this is a good move by the Bills. Wish our team had considered it.

I think Julius Peppers' deal was 6 years and around $92 million. I wonder if Williams is going to eclipse $100 million (ESPN says the deal is for 6 years).

I don't believe that it's always about the money. But in this case, it certainly was. So much for Mario claiming it wasn't! Hey Mario, don't be surprised if you end your career never having played in a playoff game!
