RAIDERS DUMP MIKE WILLIAMS

An industry source tells us that the Oakland Raiders have parted ways with receiver Mike Williams.

Williams, the tenth overall pick of the Lions in the 2005 draft, had been a major disappointment during his time in the NFL. He was traded in the 2007 offseason to the Raiders, and some thought that the reunion with coach Lane Kiffin, who worked with Williams at USC, would turn his career around.

It didn't, and so Williams is done.

He'll be subjected to the waiver system. If he clears waivers, he'll be free to sign with any team.

Williams initially was headed to the draft in 2004, by virtue of the trial court ruling in the Maurice Clarett litigation. But because Williams hired an agent before the Clarett case was reversed, Williams was not permitted to return to USC. He entered the 2005 draft after sitting out a full year of football.

Another great Detroit draft pick

[Hammock Parties]

Mike dropped a huge fourth-down pass last week against the Titans. Wotta bust!

Anybody Know anything about ex Steelera CB Colclough?

[Adept Havelock]

Parhaps Charles Rogers and Ricky Williams are looking for a partner for some little start-up opportunity.

Only that it sounds he is named for some obscure disease.

[Eleazar]

I heard on the radio someone saying on Sunday that they put out feelers about Dominick Rhodes. Supposedly they were thinking about waiving him, but didn't want him to go to a division rival.

[BigVE]

Wow. A couple of years ago Mike Williams was the THE talk of the draft because of his size and speed and coming off of a huge season at USC. THEN the claurette thing happened, he had to basically sit out an entire year and STILL has not recovered. I thought he would really be a good WR in this league, I guess not.

[Buck]

I wonder if the Titans are interested, they got Norm Chow

[Bill Lundberg]

I seem to remember some people around here being high on him during that draft...

He stands out in my mind. Wonder if he´s worth a look.

[Kylo Ren]

Wow! Let's pick him up. He's worth a shot. Pay him league minimum. Maybe a change of scenery will be good for him. Herm seems to have a knack for dealing with problem children. Maybe we'll find a jewel in the rough. We'll get 1st round talent for peanuts. You can teach speed. We just need to take it one game at a time. We're only thinking of next weeks game, not beyond that. There's no I in team. I can't throw it and catch it too.

Dude, lets not.

[chief52]

Anyone remember what the Raiders gave up to get him?

Give 110%, My teamates deserve the credit, Everything is possible through God, etc.

Dude, lets not.
Does he suck or what?

[Bwana]

The raiders cut his sorry ass. He sucks like a shopvac.

[Adept Havelock]

Really? This goes against what I've heard all my life.

ROFL

As always, Bwana gets right to the heart of the matter.

[chief52]

Yet another Matt Millen Top 10 draft pick has been officially certified as a bust, as the Lions have shipped Mike Williams to the Oakland Raiders. The trade also sent backup quarterback Josh McCown to Oakland in exchange for the Raiders' fourth-round pick (105th overall) tomorrow.YY

[Frazod]

The raiders cut his sorry ass. He sucks like a shopvac.

LMAO I love that line.

[beach tribe]

Thanx

[Bwana]

Thanx

My pleasure.

[Lonewolf Ed]

Just a tiny slice of Al Davis' soul.

[chief52]

Just a tiny slice of Al Davis' soul.

He has no soul...

[Bronko1977]

Easy to laugh now, but any Chief fan would have been doing cartwheels and back flips had he dropped to your pick in 2005. This cesspool would have been sayin, "print em!".

[Skip Towne]

The raiders cut his sorry ass. He sucks like a shopvac.
In the '70's, I owned 3 carwashes in Chanute, Ks. I had signs that said "Our Vacs Really Suck" at all three. One Sunday, on the first tee at the country club, the local judge asked me if I was the guy putting up obscene signs all over town.

[patteeu]

You can teach speed.

:spock:

[KcMizzou]

:spock:LMAO

Yeah, I did a double take on that part...

[Mecca]

Mike is just to big and to slow to be a WR, if you wanna use him as an undersized 3rd TE that pretty much just runs pass routes, or does H-Back type of stuff he might be able to be decently productive that way.

I am sure you wanted the Chiefs to take him in the draft though, huh? :hmmm:

[Mecca]

Actually no, I think Mike is to slow for the NFL...at that position anyway.

[chief52]

Actually no, I think Mike is to slow for the NFL...at that position anyway.

I mean at the time he came out...not now.

[Eleazar]

Rivals' draft profile listed him at 230, and then he went to Detroit and got fat. I wonder how much he weighed.

[Mecca]

I mean at the time he came out...not now.

I was never really high on Mike as an NFL player, I lean more to guys like Lee Evans than Mike Williams.

[Kylo Ren]

Dude, lets not. Apparently, you don't get the joke. :rolleyes:

[Kylo Ren]

Give 110%, My teamates deserve the credit, Everything is possible through God, etc. Exactly.

[Kylo Ren]

:spock: Type-O! :doh!:

[Bwana]

Apparently, you don't get the joke. :rolleyes:

I get you just fine thanks.

[Bwana]

*Yawn*

How about those Packers.

[RustShack]

Is he still PS elligable? I wouldn't mind giving him a shot. Maybe he can learn a thing or two from Kennison, Gonzo, and Bowe.

[Deberg_1990]

Do you think that year off hurt him??

['Hamas' Jenkins]

I think being a fat, slow bastard who isn't lining up against 5'7 cornerbacks hurt him.

[HolmeZz]

One of Williams' strengths coming out was his good hands. He showed nothing but stone hands since coming into the league though.

[Mecca]

Do you think that year off hurt him??

Probably, Mike dropped a ton of balls early in his SC career also.

[RustShack]

I think he can correct his ball catching.

[Deberg_1990]

It appears that LenDale White has turned himself around....so hope is not all lost for Williams..

[Demonpenz]

You figure he could just use his body to create seperation because he is so big but it seems he lacks football talent

[Mecca]

I think if you signed Williams and switched him to TE and used him as a 3rd TE/H-Back guy who was used mostly as a receiver and not asked to block much he could be used as a decent role player.

I think he has the skills to get open against LB, corners not so much.

[Tiger's Fan]

He got open sunday on fourth down. Unfortunately the ball hit him in the hands. Maybe him and Leinert can hook up in the Arena League.

[Thig Lyfe]

SIGN 'EM, CARL!!!!!!!!

[Ugly Duck]

You figure he could just use his body to create seperation because he is so big

Thats true... he was available as a target. You just never knew when he was actually going to hang on to the ball once it hit his hands. It seemed like the guy just didn't want the ball. Kinda like he didn't mind getting into position for a reception & putting his hands out, but wasn't particularly interested in grabbing the ball once it hit his hands. Some kinda brain disconnect going on... much like what we went through with Ricky Dudley. Now we see why Detroit gave him up for half of a 4th round pick.....

[Hootie]

Mike Williams is done.

[RustShack]

I think he signs with another team, if not he could join that new league that starts next year doesn't it?

Yes, the joke is on us. You were probably on the Ashley Lelie bandwagon. ROFL ROFL ROFL

Hey dick with ears, this wasn't a cesspool until you showed up.
