Support the independent voice of Houston and help keep the future of Houston Press free.
So the #houstonwhatugot hashtag campaign proved to be a failure.
The effort to keep Super Mario Williams a Texan has failed, as the free agent has signed a big deal with the Buffalo Bills.
ESPN reports Williams got a six-year deal with $50 million guaranteed, a deal that could potentially be worth $100 million (although "potentially" is usually the key word in NFL contracts.)
That much green would make even Buffalo look good, we have to admit.
The combo d-lineman/linebacker was hurt for much of the past season, and the Texans did all right without him defensively. But we'll see how the front office responds to the loss.

Keep the Houston Press Free... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Houston with no paywalls.
