Franchise Tag Would Be Prohibitive For Texans LB Mario Williams

The Texans top priority will be to re-sign outside linebacker Mario Williams according to John McClain of the Houston Chronicle, they also want to sign running back Arian Foster, who’ll be a restricted free agent, to a long-term deal. The team’s top priority will be to re-sign outside linebacker Mario Williams. The Texans can’t afford to carry Williams at $22.9 million for one year, they can’t trade him because you can’t trade a player who’s not under contract. They could franchise him and hope he’d agree later to a long-term deal, but he’d be holding all the cards knowing they couldn’t keep him at $22.9 million. Williams wants to stay, but once he’s on the open market, a team with a lot of cap space and an owner willing to spend millions might offer agent Ben Dogra $40 million to $50 million for him, but before we count Williams as gone, remember that Smith, coach Gary Kubiak and owner Bob McNair have said they want to re-sign him, but they have only so much they can offer.

because williams made 18+ million in 2011, the franchise tag would raise his salary to 22.9 million in 2012. It's the average of the top 5 salaries at the position or 125% of previous year salary, whichever is higher.

Texans are something like 20 million over the cap as it is and with the way their defense played without Mario under Wade Phillips, I honestly don't see him back in Houston, no matter what their front office says.

The closest I can think of was Adalius Thomas. But this defense is so bad, I think it's time for him to do something. We need a pass rusher really really bad. Our top sack guy was Andre Carter. Come on man. lol.

Honestly though I think any money the Pats do have needs to go into the secondary. The DLine is servicable. I would just like to see Williams in a Pats uni.

The Dolphins could be very scary if they got Peyton and Williams and played like they did at the end of this season. I would pick them to win the AFC.

holy shit, the texans wrote his contract for him to make $18 mill in his final year?

hahaha, what a bunch of dumbasses...... they just screwed themselves for this franchise tag year .............. they backloaded his contract way too much and now can't tag him.

thanks for the explanation though mike.
