    I find it odd that Williams is considered the most improved player. I'm thinking they're unaware of how good he was last year. I would say the most improved Packer is Donald Lee.

    I expect TT will get Williams signed to a long-term deal. DT's that can rush the passer are a hard to find commodity.

    With that lawless crowd
    While the killers in high places
    Say their prayers out loud
    But they've summoned, they've summoned up
    A thundercloud
    They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen

      With Williams I would do non exclusive. If we got high picks for him, I'd be extatic. That wouldn't happen, so what would happen is Williams would get last years top 5 which isn't through the roof.

      I'd do it and force him to either play another year at 6.7 mil (3 mil after taxes) or sign a long term, fair deal to pad his bank account.

        If the Pack slaps the non-exclusive franchise tender on him (hypothetically), and no team makes a play for him, do you think the Packers would still come back and try and sign him to a long term deal, or do you think they would still have him play for the one year deal and then lose him to UFA. I suppose that one year could just buy time to get a long term deal done. What is a typical way that these things go down for a player like Williams that we want to keep?

          I'm just guessing here, but usually players that are just decent like Williams do not get franchised. However, with the huge increase in salary cap space the last two years and the average of the top 5 DT's not raising, it looks like the franchise tag might be a bargain compared to what it usually is. Normally, I would think players like Barnett or Kampman (after he broke out) would be the type of player to get a franchise tag, but this is a unique situation, in that the cost is low in relation to the cap compared to the typical year.

          It would put some pressure on Williams to sign a long term deal, but you never know how he and his agent might respond.
