Seahawks release Williams

The Seattle Seahawks announced Friday that they have released wide receiver Mike Williams.

Williams was the 10th overall pick by the Detroit Lions in the 2005 National Football League Draft. Williams was cut by the Lions after the 2006 season.

From there he played six games with the Oakland Raiders in 2007 and then two games for the Tennessee Titans that same year. After that Williams was out of the NFL for two years before making a comeback in 2010.

In 2010, Williams signed with the Seattle Seahawks in hopes that his college coach in Pete Carroll would revive his playing career. Well it work as Williams had 65 catches for 751 yards receiving and two touchdowns in 14 games.

Then for whatever reason Williams took another step back as in 2011 he only caught 18 passes for 236 yards and one touchdown in 12 games.

With camps about to open in two weeks Williams will probably have to wait for a player to go down with an injury before he gets a call from another team.
