For the past twelve seasons, Buffalo Bills fans have suffered through seasons of mediocrity and failure to make a playoff appearance. Many have considered the Bills the laughing stock of the NFL along with other teams such as the Detroit Lions and Cleveland Browns. However, last season, the Bills made significant strides towards improving their image and fan support. They ended the season with a 6-10 record but they proved to be a much improved and potentially good team for the near future. On Thursday, the Bills made another stride towards becoming the team they want to be. Bills' General Manager, Buddy Nix announced that the Bills had signed the top pass rusher and maybe the best free agent on the market in former Houston Texans defensive end, Mario Williams. It is reported that his contract is for six years and potentially $100 million with $50 million of that guaranteed. In his first six NFL seasons, Williams has recorded 53 sacks and 241 tackles. This signing will help the Bills get pressure on opposing quarterbacks especially considering that they play in the AFC East with an elite quarterback in Tom Brady. The Bills are looking good going into the 2012-13 season.
