In March 2012, the defensive end Mario Williams signed a six-year, $100 million contract, $49.5 million is guaranteed, the most lucrative contract for a defensive player in NFL history (at the time).
Now, it’s three years later and Williams is questioning the Bills’ defensive coaches and his usage by the coaches on the team.

He’s supposed to get the quarterback of the other team, not back off… so, on Sunday after the Bills lost to the Cincinnati Bengals, Williams had some criticism about his about the Buffalo Bills, he said in an interview with the Buffalo News’ Tyler Dunne, “Whatever’s called you have to go do it.”
When asked if he agreed with the defensive lineman and if somethings should be changed, he said,

“I feel like the three guys you said including myself being four,” Williams said, “a lot is put on our shoulders as far as the amount given out to players on this team as far as income, I would assume those four guys a lot would be on their shoulders to get after the quarterback, stop the run and be disruptive. Like I said, if the call is three man this or that, one way or the other, dropping, things like that, that’s the call.”

Coach Ryan acknowledge that yes, something did need to be changed by saying, “Have to take a hard look at what we’re asking these guys to do.”
