Signing Mario Williams would not be a stretch.
We can manage the cap figure easily for the first two years , and because we're not an organization that spends every offseason it doesn't put is in a hole even if we go out and add a big ticket WR.
This would be the year to spend. Good market for 'young veterans' that immediately improve the team in areas of need.
The big question is how neccessary is Welker?? I love the guy, but can Branch and Edelman replace him inside with a player like Vincent Jackson or Marques Colston outside to go with our tight ends?
I think so.
Perfect fit and, if we hit in the draft, you could argue we could let Anderson and Carter walk....but we need to focus on Welker, Koppen and Green-Ellis first. I'd also like to see Ihedigbo and Connolly re-signed.
Can we afford him? Probably. We have $20 million of free cap space...but if Carter and Anderson are deemed good to go, and I think Anderson would be a great situational rusher once again for us, then I struggle to see Belichick reaching.
Williams has shown great versatility in moving from a DE to OLB in different schemes...if the Pats want to continue a hybrid, you'd argue this guy could be perfect with his experience.
They'll probably tag him and get one good year out of him at least. Doubt we can snag this guy.
:bricks:
while we are at it, lets rip the heart and soul out of this team and bring in a cancer like VJAX.
Mario Williams not coming here, period. Bengals or Bucs will take a run at him since both have 40+ million in cap. Technically Bucs can roll over 25mill in cap, so they are around 50mill under the cap.
