The Bucs will resume long-term contract talks with Mike Williams on Monday.

Negotiations are expected to be in earnest as Tampa Bay attempts to lock up Williams before he reaches free agency in 2014. Williams turns 26 years old next week. He's believed to be asking for a deal similar to Stevie Johnson's.

Contract negotiations between the Bucs and Mike Williams are expected to resume soon.

The Bucs put talks on hold in order to complete the Darrelle Revis trade and focus on the draft. Now they'll turn their attention back to Williams, their No. 2 wideout who is entering the final year of his rookie contract. It's unclear exactly how much he's asking for, but previous speculation had him seeking a contract similar to the five-year, $36M deal Stevie Johnson got from the Bills last spring. Per the Pewter Report, the Bucs will still have just over $12M in cap space even after they sign their rookie class.

The Bucs reportedly still want to get a contract extension done with WR Mike Williams.

The Bucs currently sit roughly $30 million under the cap. They're saving a lot of that space for Darrelle Revis, but Williams could receive a share of the riches as well when the two sides resume negotiations in May. He's expected to ask for Stevie Johnson kind of money (five years, $36M) after recording 23 touchdowns in his first three NFL seasons.

The Bucs have put long-term contract negotiations with Mike Williams on hold.

The sides met in Indianapolis and had a "very productive meeting," but the Bucs are postponing talks as free agency approaches. "We've agreed to be a little less aggressive and give them some time," said Williams' agent, Harvey Engelhard. "The target date right now would be some time in May."

The Tampa Bay Times suggests Mike Williams could be in line for a deal similar to the five-year, $36.25 million extension Stevie Johnson signed last March.

Entering the final year of his rookie contract, Williams rebounded nicely from a down 2011 in 2012, and has averaged a hearty 64/910/8 line across his first three seasons. Johnson's deal contained a guaranteed $18.05 million, which would be steep for a No. 2 receiver. However, the Bucs could be best off locking Williams up now instead of risking his price going up even further in 2013.

The Bucs and Mike Williams have begun talking about a contract extension.

Williams, a 2010 fourth-round pick, is entering the final year of his rookie deal. He finished second in Offensive Rookie of the Year voting behind Sam Bradford in 2010, and has been steadily consistent over his first three seasons, catching 65, 65, and 63 passes over each of those seasons. Williams set a new career-high with 996 receiving yards in 2012 playing opposite Vincent Jackson. He has 23 career touchdowns. Williams could command somewhere around $7 million per year on his next deal.

Tampa Bay 22, Atlanta 17

Buccaneers

Doug Martin capped off his awesome rookie season with another huge outing posting 148 yards on 28 rushing attempts. The Muscle Hamster is a lock as a top five RB next year.

Mike Williams quietly had another solid season accumulating 996 yards and nine touchdowns. He should also be mentioned amongst the best red-zone wide receivers in the league adding another short-yardage touchdown in this game.

Falcons

Yes, the starters played, but no they were not playing at full capacity. I suspect this game was more of a "walk through" after pouring their energy into the past two weeks and clinching home field advantage. The Falcons postseason fantasy value will be contingent on their opponent.

New York 9, Buffalo 28

Jets

The best news for the Jets is the season is officially over, meaning the rebuilding process can begin. Say goodbye, Mr. Sparano.

Bills

Yet another of the NFL teams who are about to undergo some radical changes.

The misuse of CJ Spiller and reliance on Ryan Fitzpatrick are the two reasons Chan Gailey will likely be fired by the time you're reading this article.

Baltimore 14, Cincinnati 23

Ravens

This game reminded me of preseason week one as the Ravens starters played two series and sat much of the game. Nothing to see here, move along.

Bengals

Cincinnati came out relatively slow until a touchdown pass to Marvin Jones just before halftime. Similar to preseason week two, the starters did not return in the second half. Boring.

Chicago 26, Detroit 24

Bears

For fantasy managers projecting into next season our focus has been on the development of Alshon Jeffery. Brimming with talent, playing alongside strong armed quarterback and with Brandon Marshall demanding added attention, Jeffery will be worthy of late round flier entering the 2013 season as a mid WR4.

Lions

Calvin Johnson's quest for 2,000 receiving yards fell 36 yards short as Charles Tillman, Tim Jennings and the Bears secondary said, "not on my watch". Still an amazing season for fantasy owners who ignored the Madden Curse and selected Johnson in the first round.

Beyond Calvin, this team is not good. No defense, no real running game and more off field issues than a rehab clinic.

The Tim Tebow groundswell in Jacksonville will be reaching tidal wave proportions after Chad Henne tossed three interceptions, two of which were...
