Peppers 3 year deal is for a significantly higher average, but had a signing bonus of just $7.5. The Packers generally are willing to pay well, just won't guarantee a lot for older players. If Williams finds that others aren't willing to guarantee $8-10M or more on a three or four year deal, it looks like he could be back in GB.

I wonder if they have made an offer to House, or if this indicates their preference is for Williams.
I would give Williams between 5=6MIL on a two year deal
Cap is going up; use it on the guys who want to stay here if there are any
