ORCHARD PARK Infant Devin Singletary Jersey , N.Y. (AP) — Kyle Williams is in no rush to determine his future.And the Buffalo Bills aren’t going to push the defensive tackle into making a decision about returning for a 14th season any time soon in what’s become an annual game of wait and see when it comes to the team’s respected leader and longest-tenured active player.“Do you want to read the transcript back from last year,” Williams said with a laugh on Wednesday.He was referring to the noncommittal responses he provided to the same questions a year ago before signing a one-year contract in March. And Williams’ comments were hardly different after the 2016 season, when he briefly contemplated retirement before electing to return in February for what was the final season of his three-year contract.The same applies this time, with Williams and the Bills (5-10) preparing to close out the season hosting Miami (7-8) on Sunday.Sure, the 35-year-old said, the thought of his future has briefly crossed his mind. And no, Williams isn’t going to share even a hint as to which way he’s leaning because it would only be a distraction.Otherwise, no timetable and no commitment.“I think whenever the decision comes out will be the appropriate time,” Williams said, appreciating how little he was divulging.It’s a stance the Bills fully respect, and a topic general manager Brandon Beane has no intention of broaching with the season coming to a close.“I’m not going to grab him on Monday and say, ‘Hey, Kyle Devin Singletary Jersey Draft , do you want to play?'” Beane told The Associated Press. “I think you’ve got to let him get away, let the body calm down, the mind, and then decide.”That said, Beane is more than open to having Williams return, and said the decision is essentially up to the player.“It’s on (him), that’s right,” Beane said.“Yeah, we’re up for good players, good leaders,” he added. “We love Kyle. We’re very appreciative of what he does not only on the field, but what he does for our locker room, our community. And I’ve got nothing but great things to say about him. But we’ll let all that stuff handle itself after the season.”Off the field Devin Singletary NFL Jersey , Williams is the team’s unquestioned leader and a fan favorite in a blue-collar community. On the field, he’s shown no signs of losing a step.Out of 954 defensive plays through 15 games, Williams is second among Bills defensive linemen in playing 621 of them — four fewer than pass-rusher Jerry Hughes.He has five sacks to match his total last year, and the most since Williams had 5 1/2 in 2014. And his 13 quarterback hits and five tackles for a loss match last year’s totals while playing on a defense that’s jumped from finishing 26th in yards allowed last season to currently ranking second.Williams is pleased with his production.“You never want to be someone that is falling way off or dragging a leg out there,” he said. “I’ve got a very high standard for the way I want to do things.”Though Williams enjoys his leadership role, he noted he can continue mentoring players whether or not he’s on the roster.As for the Bills’ desire for him to return, Williams is honored.“I assume that they would, but any time someone goes out of the way and says, ‘You’re one of their guys, a guy you’d love to have around,’ that makes you feel good,” Williams said. “You know that your body of work and the things that you do are respected.”Just don’t expect an answer on his future just yet. The constant speculation regarding it has become a source of amusement.One morning in August at training camp, Williams made his way to the practice field when assistant strength and conditioning coach Hal Luther yelled out: “Welcome to the Kyle Williams’ victory tour!”Williams responded by raising his arms as if in celebration.It was a joke Devin Singletary NFL Draft , Williams said, noting Luther was hoping to distract reporters by having them ask Williams whether this was, in fact, his final season.Williams shook his head at the memory and laughed by saying: “Don’t fall into his trap.”So, see you in April, right?“Hey,” Williams said, before breaking into a smile, “What I would tell you is just hang out and see what happens.” ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Kyle Williams thought he had experienced close to every emotion before wrapping up his 13th and final NFL season.Turns out, there was room for one more before the Buffalo Bills defensive tackle entered retirement.With his team standing at midfield during pregame introductions, Williams was introduced last and got a standing ovation. It was when Williams entered the field that he noticed his wife, Jill Devin Singletary Buffalo Bills Jersey , and their five children standing beside his teammates.Then came the tears.“I didn’t know that was going to happen,” Williams said. “I get past the goalposts and I see my family and I lost it. I’m fairly certain that that’s the first time I’ve openly boo-hooed inside the cage of a football helmet. And it will be the last, so first and last happened today. Just grateful, grateful for everything.”That reception, along with an actual 9-yard reception on offense in the fourth quarter — another first — in a dominant season-ending 42-17 win over the Miami Dolphins resulted in the ideal send-off for the 35-year-old player considered the heart and soul of the Bills over the last decade.“It is special for this team and this city to see how we played and how we wanted to play for him and send him out the way that we did,” said Bills quarterback Josh Allen, who had five touchdowns (three passing, two rushing).Williams announced his decision to retire on Friday. The former fifth-round pick blossomed to become a dominant presence in Buffalo, earning five trips to the Pro Bowl while becoming a fan favorite thanks to his tireless work ethic.His final game featured a little of everything.Williams had one tackle for a loss — stuffing running back Kalen Ballage for a 3-yard loss in the first quarter — as part of a dominant defensive effort that resulted in four sacks and two interceptions.He was brought onto the field as part of a goal-line package and used as a decoy on Allen’s 1-yard plunge to open the scoring in the opening minutes of the first quarter.Then, in the closing minutes of the fourth, Williams made his first career reception to raucous applause.The Bills then took the unusual measure of taking a timeout after a fourth-down kneel with 1:19 remaining so Williams could get a final curtain call from the fans, who chanted “Thank you, Kyle!” in unison.“You don’t have those opportunities a lot to be able to do that Color Rush Devin Singletary Jersey ,” Bills coach Sean McDermott said. “I know it’s more of a basketball type of deal, but to be able to put the defense back out there one more time it was more important to me that we honor Kyle’s career than it was to score potentially another touchdown.“I wanted to do it the right way.”Williams capped the day by circling the field to greet and say goodbye to the fans, many of whom wore his No. 95 jersey.“It was spontaneous,” Williams said. “I was giving some people some fives on the way in and thanking them and it just really got to me — well, I can’t do a 10-yard section and not hit the whole place. So I also made a lap with my kids and they had an opportunity to enjoy it.”His three sons then followed him into the locker room, where they sat at Williams’ stall sipping Gatorade while waiting for their dad to shower and change.Williams finishes his career with 48½ sacks in 183 games — the most by a Bills defensive tackle.And he went out in style for someone who arrived in Buffalo not wanting to seek attention.Williams was difficult to miss on Sunday.“Yeah, the whole thing has been a little out of my comfort zone,” Williams said. “It was a great day. My family enjoyed it. My kids enjoyed it. We all get to enjoy it because we won.”
