Raiders released WR Tyrell Williams

Kick the tires candidate? Miss last year with a torn labrum. Pretty good player in the not too distant past. 28 years old I believe. Was due $10M in the middle of a 4 year $40+M deal.
He would be an improvement

based on talent but very curious as to why they released him on a reasonable deal.

Suffered a torn labrum ending his season early, but still just odd they'd cut bait on him now, I suppose they just really like Bryan Edwards.
I would, he's better than anyone we have

...and the cost will likely be the same as Golden Tate, or only slightly more.

They prob see Edwards, Renfroe and Ruggs as their 3 guys and can fill in the draft FA for cheap. Obv only speculation on my part
Wouldn’t

be a bad flyer at the right price.

Flier!
It's a rough year to be a fringe WR.

There are something like 25 guys that one team or another would put in the top 100 prospects on their board. (Not every guy on every board.)

Teams are looking at the draft and thinking "We can replace that guy for cheap" And they're probably right, at least until camp, when some of those rookies begin to be busts .
There will be a ton of one year, prove it deals

With pull back on cap and several teams having to make cuts due to it....2 years of flush WRs drafts... certainly making WRs over supplied.
