Bills closing in on free agent prize

The Bills aren't playing games this offseason and will be
hyper-aggressive in the free-agent market. They kicked things off by
hosting defensive end Mario Williams and wide receiver Robert Meachem,
according to multiple reports ... from Bills players.
And according to those Bills players, they aren't going to let Williams and Meachem leave once they get there.
Cornerback Aaron Williams echoed those sentiments, saying the Bills, the city and the fans should "do anything possible to make [them] sign."
And
while the meetings between Williams, Meachem and the front office have
concluded, according to the Associated Press, there were no updates
provided by the team regarding how the meetings went. It's also unclear
whether Williams and/or Meachem will leave town to meet with other
teams.
What is clear, however, is that Buffalo is serious about locking Williams up. The Buffalo News reports that "The Bills are committed to making him the top-paid defensive player in the league."
Williams is one of the true blue-chip free agents out there. Were it not for Peyton Manning's presence on the open market, Mario would be the clear-cut No. 1 available player
on the open market. Should the Bills land him, they'd do wonders
towards improving their defense and, Manning aside, would make the
biggest splash in free agency.
Meachem's no slouch either; while
he hasn't produced monster numbers, the Bills wouldn't be bringing him
in as a No. 1 wideout. They've already re-signed Stevie Johnson and he'd
pair nicely as a burner for Buffalo if they can land him.
