That DL is stacked and opposing teams won't be able to double him as often as they did in Houston.

I firmly believe that a team like Buffalo is wasting money signing a guy like Williams.
They will almost certainly be better with him if he is healthy, but they have little to no chance of even making the playoffs in the AFC.
By the time they can field a team that has a real chance to compete, he will be on the downside of his career.

Only two teams make it to the SB every year so that doesn't surprise me, but some of the bigger names do help IMPROVE their respected FA teams, which in alot of cases give those teams a better chance of getting to the big dance.

I have advocated for years building a competitive team through the draft.
We are a QB away from that team, and at that point I would have no problem with a big name free agent.
I think the real problem is that most teams don't really address their team building with that approach.
They have tried to shortcut the building process through free agency, and that approach has always failed.
