NFL News & Rumors Digest

And to the Buffalo Bills goes Mario Williams.

The star linebacker, considered the most significant prize of free agency on the defensive side of the ball, has agreed to terms on a contract with the Bills, a league supply stated Thursday.

Williams’ deal is for six years and is worth $ 96 million — $ 50 million guaranteed — with the prospective to go up to $ 100 million, a league source told NFL Network’s Albert Breer.

The Bills plan to announce the deal in the course of a news conference scheduled for Thursday afternoon.

The team’s spirited courting of Williams stretched into its third day on Thursday, complete with dinners, meetings and the arrival of Williams’ fiancée for a tour of the region.

Williams, the 1st general choose by the Texans in 2006, is a two-time Pro Bowl selection who owns a Texans franchise-finest 53 career sacks, which includes a team single-season greatest 14 in 2007. Williams was limited to playing just 5 games final season as a result of a torn chest muscle. He also missed 3 games in 2010 after having surgery to repair a sports hernia.
