They still need a WR that has very good short space quickness.  I thought this was going to be Gio, but it appears not.

But I bet he will go into coaching and I love to bring him back then.

Assistant Line Coach would probably be what he would start off at.

Sounds like a big time upgrade if he can do that for another year.

And at LG between hopefully a future All Pro in Jonah and a decent Center to his right could happen...

From a leadership perspective, having a guy like Whitworth next to him would be fantastic for Williams development.

If he's traded or cut by June 1, 2020, his cap hit is zero.  One big reason to move him.

He has zero trade value.  One big reason he will be cut.

I think Glenn gets cut without any thought of extending.

For 9.5 mill we better get a probowl guy not someone that may work out or may not. Send his ass packing and use the money to improve. The big key is use the money to improve and not just give it out to guys already on the team to just hit the cap floor ala Gio and Hart.
