we were all hoping that Williams was bouncing back from his shoulder problems and going to have a stand out season. If he knee continues to be a problem he won't have a horrible season, he won't have a season at all.

But if Shields, Hayward, House and Hyde all stepped up Williams could be out and save that money to resign others next year (like Shields, D-Smith, Raji, Quarless or Finley, another FA DL (Pickett, Wilson, Neal and Jolly) all these guys (and more) are in contract years etc...) Also maybe James Jones and Starks.
Point being we need to make sure we have the cap to resign the guys we want.... not that Williams contract would pay for even a quarter of that list.
I forgot to add, that while if those guys all step up Williams could be gone, it sounds like Hayward hasn't been on the field much, and House just got back to the field. Sounds like Hyde is looking good, haven't heard much about Shields but I'll take that as a good thing, as because sometimes a DB doing their job doesn't get a lot of hype if the QB staying away from them.
