    Did not know where to put this .. . so I put it here

    If we let Mario walk . . . where does he go?

    Worse Case: The Colts [they have a 4 man front right]
    What other teams run a 4 man front?

    New England Patriots or Philadelphia Eagles.

    The Colts have Freeney & Mathis and don't need Mario. There are a LOT of teams that should want him. No way to tell which ones will pony up the most guaranteed money.

    Saints

    They were supposed to take him after we took Reggie Bush.

    I seriously doubt the Colts will be one of the final bidders for Mario Williams next year. DE isn't exactly their biggest area of need. There will be a boatload of other teams ready to break the bank for him.

    Pats if they have the cap space would be interesting. Gives them someone who can make a play.

    I think he goes somewhere to be paired with another pass rush threat. The two teams I can think of that have crazy cap space is Tampa and Seattle.

    Bucs run a 4 man front and have acres of cap space.

    Too early to tell. You'll have scheme changes, money situations will change, injuries will happen, players will be drafted...

    Not sure what scheme the Lions use, but imagine him with Suh and that other monster they have.

    Steelers don't usually sign high-priced free agents. If the Ravens can afford him, interesting.

    Somewhere in the NFC South, NFC East, or Chicago to pair up with Julius Peppers. I would think most likely Bears, Giants, Bucs, or Panthers.

    The Texans would be stupid to let Mario walk.

    Agreed. The Steelers would rather find a 5th or 6th rounder (or even an undrafted guy) that's 8-9/10's the player Mario is. That's just their style.

    Adding him to the Ravens just wouldn't be fair. Ngata, Suggs, Ray Ray and Mario would be ridiculous.

    I really can't imagine a scenario where the Texans don't franchise him, but I could see him going to Seattle. They have a lot of cap space, and they need a pass rusher in the worst kind of way.
