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.

What it hurts is you have to give up a roster spot for him. Considering that WR is not a huge need vs. other spots like OL and CB, this move would be dumb. He hasn't done anything in Detroit or Oakland, so it's doubtful he would have any impact here especially coming in at the middle of the season.

"Cheap and available." Anyone remember the failed Redskins coach for whom that quote applied?

In any event, although I have real doubts about whether MW can do anything to help, we could likely get him for a song and how could it hurt to get him in the mix. NONE OF OUR WRs HAS A TD THIS SEASON! Has that ever happened through 7 games? A big WR will help take the pressure of Campbell because it gives him an option to throw a pass and let a WR go get it -- something we cannot do with the current WR roster of small but speedy guys.

Here are our current reception stats -- a little hard to read, but Cooley has 5 TD catches and Sellers has 1; no one else has one:

Ladell Betts WAS RB 9 84 9.3 12.0 28 0 1 0 4 44.4 0
Chris Cooley WAS TE 23 219 9.5 31.3 28 5 1 0 15 65.2 1
Brandon Lloyd WAS WR 2 14 7.0 2.0 9 0 0 0 0 0.0 0
Keenan McCardell WAS WR 4 69 17.3 23.0 21 0 2 0 3 75.0 0
Santana Moss WAS WR 20 248 12.4 41.3 49 0 2 2 12 60.0 0
Clinton Portis WAS RB 19 156 8.2 22.3 25 0 3 0 9 47.4 0
Antwaan Randle El WAS WR 26 465 17.9 66.4 54 0 7 2 20 76.9 1
Mike Sellers WAS FB 10 61 6.1 8.7 24 1 1 0 3 30.0 1
James Thrash WAS WR 3 16 5.3 2.3 7 0 0 0 0 0.0 0
Todd Yoder WAS TE 5 46 9.2 6.6 18 0 0 0 2 40.0 0
