SNYDER COMMITTED TO KEEPING WILLIAMS

Although league rules don't allow Redskins owner Dan Snyder "to block" defensive coordinator Gregg Williams from taking a head coaching job with another team after the 2005 season, we're told that Snyder plans to match any financial package that might be offered to Williams.

Williams, at more than a million bucks per year, already earns more as a defensive coordinator than some head coaches. If, in the end, Williams accepts a hefty raise to stay put, he could end up being the highest-paid non-head coach in any sport, ever.

It's one of the spoils of having $300 million in total revenue and no salary cap for coaches and staff. And it'll likely anger other owners who already resent the efforts of Snyder and Dolphins owner Wayne Huizenga to blow out the curve for assistant coach compensation.

But Snyder's ultimate motivation, we hear, is to have Williams in place to succeed coach Joe Gibbs when he retires. And Snyder legitimately can avoid the requirements of the Rooney Rule by striking a deal to make Williams the head coach after Gibbs leaves.

Williams previously coached the Bills for three years, and his contract was not renewed. Some league insiders believe that he's ready to have the kind of success in his second chance at a head coaching job that Bill Belichick enjoyed in New England after a failed stint with the old Browns.

I wonder what Jerry Jones thinks about other Owners trying to be just like him... LOL
