Mario Williams: Power Ranking Potential Destinations

While it seems increasingly likely Mario Williams will end up a member of the Buffalo Bills, ESPN's John Clayton has reported the coveted defensive end will visit other teams before making a decision.

"

"The Buffalo Bills were hoping to wrap up a deal with defensive end Mario Williams quickly, but he informed them Tuesday night that he will visit other teams, two sources told ESPN.com's John Clayton."

"

But what team would be the best fit for Williams? What teams are even possibilities?

It remains unclear as to which teams he'll visit, but according to Clayton, the Jacksonville Jaguars, Chicago Bears, Seattle Seahawks, Tennessee Titans, Atlanta Falcons and of course the Houston Texans all want him.

So let's power rank 'em to see which would best fit Williams.

1. Buffalo Bills

The more I think about this, the more I like it. Defensive coordinator Dave Wannstedt is switching the Bills to a 4-3 defense, which would allow Williams to play his more natural position, 4-3 defensive end.

He would be joining defensive tackles Kyle Williams and Marcell Dareus to form what would be the best defensive line in the league.

His addition would seriously upgrade the Bills' defense, and his presence would make them players in the AFC Wild Card hunt.

And they can throw a ton of money at him.

Sure, I don't think living in Buffalo is the most appealing thing in the world, but I still think this is a great fit for all parties involved.

2. Chicago Bears

The Bears probably can't offer the money Buffalo can, but they can offer a very good defense already in place and a team that is a playoff contender.

Oh, and paired with Julius Peppers, the Bears would have the greatest duo of defensive ends perhaps in NFL history. The fact that teams would have to choose which of those two to double would benefit both, along with the rest of the defense.

Believe me, Matt Stafford, Aaron Rodgers and Christian Ponder are all hoping this doesn't happen.

3. Atlanta Falcons

These rumors have died down the past few days, but Williams would be a huge, huge addition for the Falcons, especially if they lose Curtis Lofton and John Abraham.

Williams would be coming to a perennial playoff team and would instantly improve Atlanta's defense. Like the Bears, he may have to take a slight pay cut, but I'm sure the Falcons could find creative ways to show him the money if he wanted to head to Hotlanta.

4. Houston Texans

The reason the Texans are fourth on this list are threefold: Playing outside linebacker in Houston's 3-4 defense isn't the best fit for Williams, the team has solid outside linebackers in Connor Barwin and Brooks Reed—which makes Williams a luxury—and the Texans don't really have the cap space to spend on a luxury.

The Texans offer Williams the best chance to win a Super Bowl in my opinion, but they simply aren't the best fit for his talents at this point.

5. Tennessee Titans

If they truly are players for Manning, the money could become tough for Tennessee. Then again, if they land Manning they become instant contenders to win the AFC South.

I don't see this happening given all of the attention the Titans are paying Manning right now—the Williams ship might sail while they're docked on Manning Island—but it would be a pretty good fit if it did happen.

6. Jacksonville Jaguars

The money will be here, and he'll get to play the Texans twice a year. But unless Blaine Gabbert has a better sophomore year, or, you know, Tim Tebow is traded here, this is a team that remains far away from Super Bowl contention even with Williams in town.

7. Seattle Seahawks

Good system for Williams, and an already solid defense. But until this team gets a good quarterback, they simply aren't Super Bowl contenders. That has to hurt the team's chances.
