No it would be much more. 19?

WTF are my Broncos doing? Manning is going to screw them so bad if he signs elsewhere.

Yeah, ProFootballTalk is apparently as credible as my fake JayGlazer.

PFT has been wrong two or three times already on this thing.

I'll wait until something is confirmed one way or the other.

Mike Florio is actually a legit person (comes all the time on NBC), but I don't know really how many connections he has.

I mean, the report is very vague. In theory he could be leaving town with a deal done with the Bills. Main thing I am taking out of it is it looks like we'll have a clearer picture tonight.

Well, that freakin blows. I sure hope they have a back up plan. I was finally excited about a bills season again.

I just don't think they have any chance if he leaves.

It just tells me that Twitter is 99.9% bull**** and people who making up fake news hoping it sticks and looks credible.

PFT is usually very accurate. It's not a random blog; it's part of NBC Sports.

That being said, every Williams report they've had in the last 48 hours has been less than accurate, so whatever source they have on this is not a good one.

In general, I'd suggest the following:

Adam Schefter: @adamschefter
Jay Glazer: @jayglazer
Jason La Canfora: @JasonLaCanfora
Chris Brown (bb.com reporter): @ChrisBrownBills

for keeping track of the Mario Williams situation.

Just a little history on PFT. PFT has always been run by Florio and it wasn't until recently that it was his full time job. He was (maybe still is) a lawyer who maintained a football blog for fun in his spare time. He's not a "football insider" by any means.

That said, I'm sure that the NBC money has blessed him and his team with unlimited resources.

This is getting ridiculous. We need to go back to how it was in the 50s. No one knew or cared who was signed until the paper boy hucked the rag through your window the next morning. And we should go back to wearing suits at games too

Fine. If a deal isn't done tonight, it isn't getting done

What a weird FA period. I can't remember a free agent staying in a city for the first 3 days of FA without signing something.

What I am getting from all this is that he probably does not want to play here but the Bills are making it impossible for him to say no because they are offering him an ungodly sum of money.

Or he is taking his time with a tremendous life decision?

This is probably the big night when the decision will be made. His fiancee came in today, had a chance to talk to management, meet the other players' wives and get a feel for the area.

My take on this is that Mario and the gal pal are going to go back to their hotel room, have a long talk about what he's looking for, what she wants, and how Buffalo suits those things. My guess is something leaks later tonight (either way), once Mario makes his decision and speaks to his agent. We'll then find out for sure in the morning.
