Super Mario joining the Bills

The Buffalo Bills signed former Houston Texans defensive lineman/linebacker Mario Williams to a six-year deal with $50 million guaranteed and its potentially worth $100 million. Williams, the top overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft, had 53 sacks while with Houston, but also missed most of last season with a torn chest muscle. He also missed three games in 2010 with an injury. Williams joins former Green Bay Packers linebacker Nick Barnett and defensive linemen Kyle Williams and Marcell Dareus in a front seven that is a force to be reckoned with now.

While Williams has the potential to really help the Bills defense, I’m still not in love with Ryan Fitzpatrick and his lack of any real options to throw to besides Stevie Johnson.

Coulson served as one of the team captains last season.
