    Texans owner Bob McNair wants to re-sign outside linebacker Mario Williams and he’s not interested in pursuing Peyton Manning. The 6-foot-6, 283-pound Williams officially became an unrestricted free agent and the most coveted defensive player on the market on Tuesday afternoon. The franchise’s career sacks leader missed most of last season with a torn chest muscle, but McNair knows the Texans will have to compete with several teams willing to offer Williams a giant payday. Williams made just over $15 million last year. “We want Mario. We’d like to have him,â€￾ McNair said Tuesday. “Unfortunately, other people would like to have him, too. It depends on how much they’re willing to pay.â€￾
