Mike Williams Cut by Raiders
Raiders waive struggling WR Williams
I'm in no way suggesting that we pick this guy up. But for all those that wanted him in 05, now's our chance! |

Re: Mike Williams Cut by Raiders
6'5", 230 pounds of underachiever who needs a second chance (or is that third chance?) Can he possibly be any worse than Lloyd?
It's easy to write the dude off but the Lions squad he was a part of was not very good at all, and when the Faiders are your "second chance", well...that's not saying much. I have to admit I'm not totally familiar with his struggles, but he didn't go out like Charles Rogers, so there might be something there. And he can't be that expensive. I would not be at all surprised to see a team like New England who can afford to roll the dice on a dirt-cheap FA, sign a guy like Williams and have him thrive.

Re: Mike Williams Cut by Raiders
Well Randy Moss was let go by the Raiders for not having any heart. Look at him now!

Re: Mike Williams Cut by Raiders
If Kiffin (who coached MW at USC) is letting him go, I can't imagine that MW has anything to offer.

Like I said, I didn't see any string of incidents with the law, or questions about his health. He's still extremely young, and hasn't ever played for a good pro team. He may turn out to be a total bust who never catches on (a la Taylor Jacobs) but with the physical attributes the guy has, I don't see who wouldn't want to take a chance on the dude unless he is absolutely a headcase.

Re: Mike Williams Cut by Raiders
Hey, look, Green Bay is letting Koren "K-Drop" Robinson back on the roster, and that guy's an avowed alcoholic. So Williams has a taste for the buffet? Sign him to a min contract and put performance incentives in there.
Why hate on a guy just because Detroit and Chokeland paid him too much? If we can get him for peanuts and he realizes he's got a chance to play for a quality organization, so much the better. I'd think that anybody we sign at WR from now on would realize that there are legitimate opportunities to become a starting NFL WR3...

Re: Mike Williams Cut by Raiders
I think you take a shot on the kid if you can get him cheap. He is HUGE and could do some damage in our inept offense.

Re: Mike Williams Cut by Raiders
What can it hurt? Is he going to bring down the locker room morale on offense, somehow I dont think that is possible. Our #1 WR Moss has less than 300 yds through 7 games.
