as_v_1 Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 You guys act as if signing Mike Williams would be equivalent to entering into a marriage. Sign the guy for dirt cheap, and if he doesn't work out cut him in a week. If he doesn't want to go anywhere for dirt cheap, then we take a pass. I can't imagine him demanding any kind of serious salary at this point, though.I agree with that. The guy was an absolute beast in College. What harm could it do to give this guy a tryout? It's not like we don't need help in the red zone.Alot of guys were "beast's" in college and aren't worth a damn in the pro's. The Raiders have junk at WR and if he is not good enough to hang on there for his former college coach he is done. Moss looked like trash with the Raiders but at least he started. This guy was buried way down on the depth chart, and I can only assume for a good reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COB Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 As big and slow as he is, could he be the pass catching TE we're looking for?Williams played high school ball in Tampa, and really wanted to be a Gator. But the coaches at Florida felt he was too slow to play receiver in the SEC. Here's the quote from Williams:"The Florida schools just didn't think I could play wide receiver. They thought I was too big or not fast enough or whatever. At USC, they had a clear-cut picture of what I could do." He was too slow to play receiver in the SEC, the NFC North and the AFC West. The Raiders listed him at 230. Can't really picture him blocking anybody. Pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
