Mario Williams
He only played in 5 games this season and the Texans still had one of the best defenses in the league and played very well with out him. I know it's almost crazy to suggest letting such a good player go, but do the Texans really need him? With Brooks Reed and Connor Barwin they already have two promising OLBs. Would they be better off tagging and trading Mario Williams than resigning him to a monster contract?

Tag and trade for a good 1st rounder, at least? It's gotta be tempting.
Just not sure what they'd do with it - the Texans are pretty much set at QB and RB. The OL seems solid. Maybe another WR to compliment AJ and to try and transition the #1 WR role smoothly in the future? Or a DB?

They at least tag him I think, what happens after that will be fun to watch.

This defense looks good enough as it is to be a serious contender so depending on the dollars it may make more sense to trade Mario Williams. I'm almost thinking it might make sense for the Texans to start developing a QB for the future.

What teams would be willing to trade a first rounder for him, and are they teams he'd be willing to go to? I would think he'd probably prefer a team that plays a 4-3, no?
Maybe Cincy, since they have two first rounders this year to play with....but would Mike Brown allow them to spend that much money on one player?

FLYNN for MARIO?
Tag & Trade...
Schaub was never as good as Matty Flynn.
Then trade Schaub to Seattle for a high pick.

At 27 he should be in his prime assuming he's healthy coming off an injury. Probably a better question would be who wouldnt want him. New England has the two firsts and i'm sure they'd love to have him on their front line. I could see him in Tennessee and maybe Green Bay.

Yeah, but he's also coming off of a season-ending injury and will likely be looking for a contract similar to the one Peppers signed a couple years back. I could see that scaring off a couple of teams at least, especially some of the ones who historically hold their draft picks in high regard.

He's not getting you a first in return when you have to pay him crazy money.

Plus he is coming off a injury and they have to sign Cook(Center) and Foster. I want him in Tennessee TBH. I don't know what the Texans will now that they have Brooks Reed and Conner Barwin who are cheaper and younger rushing the passer. I also don't think Mario would want to play DE in a 3-4. It's to the Texans really.

I can't see the Titans being interested due to the $ involved, plus being a divisional rival makes it unlikely.
Maybe the Seahawks?

Chicago, pair him up with Peppers infront of Urlacher and Briggs and hope the rest of the draft gives Cutler more support while you cross your fingers and hope for health to the key pieces to make a title run.

I don't think hes going anywhere. If I had to pick a trade destination for him it would be to New Orleans under the assumption that they could find room for his contract.

Kubiak: Hrmm wonder if we can get an unproven, back-up quarterback for Mario Williams.
Kubiak's staff: You mean that Pro-bowl Defensive End / Linebacker that we spent a 1 st round pick on a few years back?
you imaging the rest buddy.

I understand the argument that you won't get a first for him if you are going to have to pay him crazy money... but you know someone will do it for the rights to signing this guy.
People trade 1st (sometimes multiple) to sign the rights to a guy who is completely unproven every year.

I cant think of a team that wouldn't gladly give up a 1st for Mario Williams.
What a stupid discussion.

The Rams wouldn't give their #2 pick for Williams. Already have Long and Quinn. Too many other needs.
