Tennessee Titans Cut Mike Williams, Could Detroit Lions Draft Bust's Career Be Over?

The Tennessee Titans have released wide receiver Mike Williams, closing yet another chapter in a disappointing career.

The Detroit Lions made Williams the 10th overall pick in the 2005 NFL draft, and he's been a huge disappointment. He showed up overweight and out of shape, never demonstrated the slightest bit of commitment to his sport, and was eventually traded to the Raiders for a fourth-round draft pick.

Williams didn't do much with the Raiders, either, but the reports out of Tennessee indicated that he had committed himself to his conditioning and lost weight. There was optimism that he could be a solid contributor this season.

Instead, he's booted off the team after just a week of training camp. It now seems possible that his NFL career is over, at the age of 24.

I would have liked to see a 250 pound Jimmy Williams covering a 250 pound Mike Williams. Of course, now they can get together, and be fat, lazy, overpaid busts.

This is not what i wanted to hear as a Titans fan. I was hoping that he'd be improving as we keep hearing hear in TN, but if he's a bust, that doesnt make me very impressed on what else we have. McCariens, Gage, and Lavelle from the Draft is what he have to work with. Algae Crumpler is a positive, i cant deny, but they NEED to get some proven top notch wide receivers to work with Vince Young, and until they do, you cant say he's not a top quarterback and write him off as a wash up.
