Sucks for him. It looked like he found a place to latch onto in Seattle, but old habits die hard.

He had an injury that was pretty bad, I think. He's had a hard time recovering from it in the offseason --- although there are things you can do to keep your weight off even with an injured leg.

is it a fact that he was cut because he was out of shape? or is that still just speculation at this point? obviously it wouldn't come as a suprise if he let him self go again, i mean this is a guy who weighed 270 pounds at one point. But that may not be the case. They might have just cut him because they knew he wouldn't make their roster and they are releasing him early so he has time to try and find a new place to play.

and if that is the case, I wonder if anyone is going to give him a shot.

While I agree with a lot of posts here, it's still a shocker.

Wasn't there alot of talk about him playing TE when he became draft eligible? Probably would have had more success at that position but then again, a poor work ethic is a poor work ethic.

Alright I hate to be that guy, but I really can’t find anything that is reporting that Mike Williams was cut because he was overweight. Nothing…not even an article written by a guy eating lunch at his cubicle who heard the rumor through an acquaintance of his 2nd cousin…twice removed.

I mean, like I said before…it would not exactly be shocking that Mike Williams was overweight. But let’s be patient here, there will be plenty of time to rip him apart when the facts come in.

he was a nice comeback story in 2010, but his release today is his own fault. His poor work ethic led to this. Such a shame.

Seattle has a nice group of WRs though. Sidney Rice is pretty unpredictable. Golden Tate is built to be a slot WR, allthough he doesn't impress me that much. Doug Baldwin and Ricardo Lockette seem like absolute steals, and I wouldn't be surprised to see these 2 have big seasons.

Antonio Bryant will just be the new comeback story. Laughing

Williams days in the NFL are very numbered at this point.

His "breakout year" (according to the op) wasn't impressive to begin with. He's a fringe talent. No separation skill, no run after the catch ability, and a lousy deep threat. Heavy or not.
