Its only cheating when you get caught
Wonder if any of these "little known free agents" are worth a look? All defensive. I agree that Flynn is a big question mark if I was a GM. He showed a lot in two games but it was only two games.
Another list...

Sherrod didn't blow out a kneee. a broken bone is far less recovery time than a torn ACL. Do we have resident doctors?
I'm no doctor, but I've torn both acl's and broken a fibula (soccer is for pussies).
I healed waaaaaay faster with the broken leg.
Exactly Blair. A broken leg heals stronger where an ACL takes a ton of work to get the strength back in the ligaments.
My daughter broke her fibula just before Christmas and is now back to using her walker. She uses a walker most of the time because she is handicapped, but wasn't allowed to put much weight on the broken leg until a couple of weeks ago.
Not a big deal... you don't really need your fibula.

To be honest, I'm not even sure where Williams would play in the defense. I would guess he'd be a 34 DE??
I was hoping like hell the Lions would let Avril hit the market and TT would take a look at that guy. I think he'd be a pretty good OLB in GB's defense.

Williams looked pretty darned good at OLB for the Texans last year. Like Julius Peppers (and unlike Cliff Avril) he's a freakish athlete for a guy his size. He can drop well enough (better than any of Green Bay's current ILBs, but that's not saying much). Avril's a guy I don't see being able to drop very well as he's not as fluid as Mario.
I still think the guy TT will go after, if he goes after anyone, is Wimbley. He would still reap the maximum compensatory pick for Flynn then and get a mid-tier guy that wouldn't break the bank. I don't think there would be a huge price difference between he and Johnson, for example.
Williams is a 6'6", 283lb OLB in the 34? I thought he was a DE for some reason in Texas.
Too light. Ideal DE's in a 3-4 are like 300-320.
Cullen Jenkins is 305-310.
Jonny Jolly was 6-3 and went 325ish.

In my daughter's case, when it broke (we think she twisted when she fell), it shifted some bones in her ankle so that there wasn't equal amounts of tendon, cartilege or something on each side. They had to go in and shift things around, put a plate and some screws in it, so for her, it was a pretty big deal.
List of free agents that might be worth the risk
No one really jumps out at me from this list but there are some possibilites. Maybe Tolbert if we lose Grant.

Bears the favorite to land Mario?

You had that same look on your face when they signed Peppers. He was good enough to lose in the NFCC game.
