That’s insane for Williams. We must let the guy go like Norwell. It’s not worth the asking price when you can easily get someone in the first 3 rounds of the draft this year for a fraction of the cost and similar production. I would rather have Paradis and save a few million

Not easily. Easily replaceable players don't get big money in free agency, especially at non-premium positions. If it was easy to find serviceable OTs then we would've never penciled in garbage like Byron Bell and Nate Chandler as starting OTs.

[Mr. Scot]

Average to decent tackles have been getting overpaid in free agency for the last few years.

Not sure it would surprise me that much.

[SmokinwithWilly]

I'd have to let him walk for that cost, especially coming off a knee injury. Too much risk for the kind of guaranteed money he's going to want.

whoa nellie

I mean we paid Matt Khalil and I feel Williams has shown more healthy than Matt ever did. If you resign Williams keep him right move Moton Lt and you free up your number one draft pick to focus on pass rush. I feel that’s money well spent.

"Teams are willing to overpay for guys who merely allow their offenses to function."

 

I gotta say, that line got my attention. 

[Khyber53]

We need to let him go like an eight-year old Ford with a good paint job. Let someone else pay the big bucks while we go shopping for something newer, cheaper and more reliable.

[SOJA]

Dude we WANT Darryl Williams to get PAID just not by us. 

[SOJA]

Mark my words smart teams are going to catch onto this and start drafting tackles early and often to avoid paying this second contract nonsense

They have been drafting them early and often and they've just been busting left and right, quite literally 

[Hotsauce]

Its ok guys. Torrey Smith and his 5 million dollar cap hit will open things up for the offense, so we won’t have to worry so much about protecting Cam. 

[Icege]

As much as I want to keep DWill, I just cant in good conscience give him more than 10.5M and even that is pressing. Glad he is getting his money. Hoping we find somebody in the draft.

[joeyxfresco]

Some team is really going to regret giving him that one day
