Could be JPeppers redux with something to prove. I'd get him in for an interview with Hub STAT.

The Buffalo Bills are planning to release defensive end Mario Williams in the off-season, according to an Associated Press report.

It’s currently unclear exactly when the team will make the move, but Williams will reportedly play his final game for the team on Sunday against the New York Jets.

The move would provide some cap relief for the Bills, after Williams signed a six-year, $100 million deal in 2012. He will make $11.5 million in base salary next season, and the team can save more than $12 million by letting him go. Williams has also struggled to adapt to the team’s defensive schemes in the first year of Rex Ryan’s tenure as head coach, with just four sacks this season after 14.5 in 2014.

Williams has also been publicly critical of the team’s coaching decisions at times this season. He expressed frustration with his occasional responsibilities dropping into pass coverage. Ryan told reporters Wednesday in a conference call that frequent criticism from his players bothered him at times this season.

The Bills reportedly plan to overhaul their defense after a disappointing season. The team is 7–8, and the defense currently ranks 20th in yards allowed and 31st in sacks after leading the league with 54 sacks one year ago.

Buffalo announced Wednesday that Ryan and general manager Doug Whaley would return next season, with owner Terry Pegula offering a vote of confidence in a statement.

Longtime Bills guy here....

The defense has regressed. Too many injuries to overcome
When it was time to get the seat at the AFC big boys table, the Bills went 3-4. Losses to Bengals and Jags in London hurt. Leading to the high point of the season. Wins against Miami and Jets in 5 days.

Only to lose at Pats and Chiefs and put the playoff hopes to bed for 16 years running.

Mario will be a cap casualty along the lines of Peppers for the Bears, but I don't think Mario would be young or cheap enough to fit what the Bears are looking for.

And isn't his issue they are asking him to play standing up, which he's never done? Kinda like what they ask guys to do here now?

Probably way too expensive.

Isn't Von Miller supposed to be available this off season? Would rather have him.
