Mario Williams accumulated a lot of sacks in Houston, but they aren't missing him one bit down there.

Our pass rush has been impacted significantly since he has been out of the lineup. I think his impact has been pretty clear.
I think his injury is the biggest variable in this discussion. It could linger the rest of his career, therefore we need to resign Jackson. I dont think he will be demanding high money, his biggest reason to leave might be an opportunity to be a full time starter somewhere.
