If those 24 missed games were spread relatively evenly over 9 years, then i'd agree with you. but they haven't been. he's missed the most time in the past few years. Which is normal, you know, when a player has gotten old and the wear and tear on his body has accumulated.

I'm not saying Williams is garbage. He's still elite.... but there is no reason to give him a big money new contract when he still has 2 years left on his current deal and he's been struggling with injuries recently.

You don't trade a guy like him. You don't cut him. You don't give him a new contract. You make him play out this year and then reevaluate the contract situation next year.

sure, he's holding out now, but who cares? He's not going to miss real games. He'll show up for week 1 and that's all i care about.
