NFL Free Agency Rumors: Mario Williams Visiting More Teams Dooms Bills

Mario Williams was still in Buffalo visiting with the Bills this morning, but reports indicate he's leaving without a deal.

ESPN reports that the top defensive player on the market is set to visit with more teams after spending Tuesday afternoon and night with the Bills in upstate New York.

As with Robert Meachem, who visited the Bills before signing with San Diego, these future meetings could doom the team's chances of landing the former No. 1 overall pick.

Meachem and Williams were the top targets on Buffalo's free agent wish list, according to ESPN. While they have money to throw around, they don't offer a great chance for immediate success.

The chance for teams to sign a former No. 1 overall pick in the prime of his career doesn't come along very often.

Buffalo's money can only draw so much interest with teams like Chicago, Seattle, Atlanta, Tennessee and even Houston in the mix.

The Bears offer perhaps the most immediate chance of success. What's more, they would sport arguably the scariest combination of defensive ends in the league if Williams were to join Julius Peppers.

Meanwhile, Seattle has money to spend and an improving 4-3 defense. Atlanta has consistently been a force since Matt Ryan lined up under center, but needs pass-rushers.

Tennessee is always looking to bolster their pass rush and also use a 4-3. Even Houston, while unable to offer the same kind of money as the rest, still has some pull on him.

Unfortunately for Buffalo, every one of these teams offer a more promising 2012 season than the Bills.

Money could ultimately sway Williams. However, if he leaves Buffalo, there is a better than good chance that he likes what he hears from another team.

Missing on Meachem hurt the Bills, but losing out on Mario Williams will crush them.
