True... but his injuries thus far are the type of "freak"/non-chronic injuries that may never linger/recur throughout the rest of his career. Exactly the type of injuries that makes a player who "seemed" injury prone turn out to be just fine.
Lets assume this is the number for the Texans to keep Mario or another team to sign him. Which playoff contenders would be able to sign him? Unless its all about the money you have to think he would want to go to a contender. He's yet to play a playoff game imo I don't think he would want to go to a bottom dweller.
The Bears are targeting Mario now. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...s-viewed-as-favorites-to-land-mario-williams/
just saw a crawl on espn2 saying the Titans were looking at him, but stopped so they could look at Manning.
Hours from becoming a FA, and my gut tells me his agent wants the open market money.

If he was going to remain a Texan, it would have already happened by now. If his agent wants him to get a market value contract, there's no way he stays in town. Mario was always going to have to tell his agent to accept a hometown discount and make Houston happen - and he went on record saying that he's leaving his FA in the hands of his agent. No agent is going to leave money on the table.
