Shawn may not be on reggie's level at the moment, but he's shown something. That combined with youth is enough to move on from the older player.

Love reggie and what he did for this team. He really turned a long time position of weakness into a strength.

Thing is there is no guarantee that Williams will return either. He could leave after next season while we would have still locked down Nelson. Our best players are in their prime and Aj Green's and Geno Atkins and Carlos Dunlaps do not come along every year.
