Williams gave up 10 sacks last year and 13 so far this year. What makes anyone believe he will somehow get better next season? If he hasnt shown improvement through 4 years, I doubt he is suddenly going to be much better in his 5th year.
Instead of paying Williams over 12 milllion next year, the team would be better off using that money to go after a good free agent LT. The problem is I think since we picked up Williams 5th year option that contract is guaranteed for 12.6 million so we cant cut Williams or we take on the full 12.6 million cap hit. If we could find some team that wants to trade for him, we can avoid all of the cap hit.
I would also get rid of Mixon before next year. He doesnt offer anything we cant find at a much cheaper price. If you cut him or trade him after June 1 2023 you have a dead cap hit of close to 3 million but you get an overall cap savings of 10 million. You could use Jonah Williams 12.6 million plus part of Mixons 10 million savings to get a pretty good LT.
