NFL Rumors: Buffalo Bills Not Done Spending After Mario Williams' Mega Deal

The Buffalo Bills put their entire offseason on the line for Mario Williams and it paid off, literally and figuratively, in a big way.

According to Albert Breer and Jason La Canfora of NFL Network, the pass-rushing force inked a six-year, $96 million deal with the potential to go up to $100 million.

Williams arrived in Buffalo on Tuesday and was reportedly going to take more visits after talking with the Bills, but then his fiancee arrived yesterday and things escalated from there.

Had the Bills missed, after spending three straight days courting the same player, they could have been left to pick up some scraps at a position they desperately needed to upgrade.

Now they have to quickly get back into the mix for the other position they missed out on: wide receiver.

Tim Kavanaugh of ESPN's rumors section hypothesizes that Mario Manningham, former New York Giants Super Bowl hero, would be a good fit for them after missing on Robert Meachem earlier this offseason.

Kavanuagh cites K.C. Joyner who writes:

"

Manningham notched an 8.6 YPA during the Giants' playoff run, posted touchdowns in three of those contests and snagged an all-time highlight catch that helped New York score its game-winning touchdown in the Super Bowl. Throw in the fact that Manningham posted double-digit YPA totals in nearly every major category in 2010 and it shows why teams that missed out on one of the other wideouts can still score an elite pass-catching talent.

"

Supremely gifted in college at Michigan, Manningham fell down to the third round because he made a bad decision around around the time of the combine.  

The Giants took a chance on him and he fluctuated in and out of the starting lineup because of injuries and the emergence of other players. But when his number was called, as in the Super Bowl, he found a way to step up.

The Giants had one of the most dynamic and explosive wide receiver duos in the league this year and Manningham wasn't healthy all season either.

The Bills whiffed on Meachem, a field-stretching player with legitimate potential, and Manningham is much of the same.

The other receivers worth exploring would be Braylon Edwards and Brandon Lloyd.
