Williams inks 3 year deal

Yes, they can. Williams is a bit of a poor man's Kirkland, and that's not a bad thing at all. He can blow up the run in the box! But he's a little slow and below average in coverage. I actually think rookie Tyler Matakevich is better in coverage.

We play nickel and dime more often and Williams doesn't have a role here.

I'll grade this move as follows. He's not as good as Timmons, but much cheaper. How we spend the additional cap space here remains to be seen.

I promise to get you the biggest darn Long Island Ice Tea I can find when we meet up - because your sober talk needs some alcohol...
 
Timmons cap number this year is something like 15 million for the season. While I think Timmons was a very good player for us ( good enough for top 50 of all time ), he's not worth the last contract the Steelers offered.

As for Vince, I like him vs the run in the box, but think he's a tad slow for the nickel.

I believe Timmon's cap number is so high because he twice agreed to restructure when they needed help. Maybe his last contract was in appreciation for him being not only an outstanding player but a class act all his career.

That's exactly why his cap number is 15 million Obx. But of course facts never stopped him before
