The main issue with the UFA's these days is term. You just cannot afford to sign middling players to 5 year deals (or longer in many cases). But they'll hold out until they get 'em, and some GM will give it to them because that's longer than their likely GM lifespan.
Giving Williams a 5 year deal would be an awful move.
