Mike Williams Cut by Raiders

also, I'll add that Williams is slow - remember when he said he would "bet the farm" that he could run a 4.5 in the combine? He lost the farm at 4.6, then over the years had weight issues.

On the up side the dude might've been a great H-back prospect in the old Gibbs system. He has great hands & is "super smart" to boot. Problem is, he has failed to 'fight his guts out' since he's been in the nfl.

I am of the opionion that we should bring the guy in for a look.

If nothing else, he would have the potential to add height to our red zone offense mix. This would at least provide the threat of running something like a fade route, which due to our personel must be completely absent from our playbook...

I dont think you necessarily have to be all that fast to run a fade route...or any routes inside the 10 for that matter. If he had the potential to become a good red zone threat that would already make bringing him in worthwhile...whether or not he could see the field between the 20's is a different story.

The way it looks now though, i dont think reche caldwell is going to see the field at all this year...so maybe the coaches dont like him as much as they thought they would...and Tom Brady is the only thing that made him look like a half decent receiver??? WHo knows... But if the coaches cant use him...and he is taking up a roster spot, we could always cut him to make room for MW. Just my 2 cents
