It was Jackson, Mike Williams stopped catching, stopped winning contested balls, and stopped trying. QB rating on passes targeted for Williams was 58.7.

He sucked it up last year, got an injury, and used it as an excuse to let himself go.

It wasn’t just the injury that killed his season, it was Tarvaris Jackson. Throughout the season I saw Williams waving his arms waiting for a pass and then throwing his arms up after the play as if to say “what the hell, man” when it never came.

Jackson lacks confidence and has trouble pulling the trigger with everyone; especially Williams. Even if Williams was somewhat covered he’ll catch a ball if you know how to throw it to him. A better QB could really utilize his potential, but I suppose the addition of Kellen Winslow reduces the need for another big wideout.

“Big Mac” Williams priced himself out of the market.

More like he ate himself out of the market.

After his 68-catch season in 2010, he was given a three-year extention. He was injured last year, but didn’t play very well before he got hurt. Some photos came out of camp in May that showed his waistline bulging beneath his uniform – he was very clearly out of shape.

I think his conditioning was/is suspect, especially after the layoff due to the injury, and the team didn’t like his progress in dealing with it. Plus, they may also like what they see from Kris Durham, who projects into the same kind of big #2, possesion-type receiver.

Someone will pick him up, there are plenty of wr starved teams still looking for help, but it sure wont be for $3 mil.

I like this cut for one simple fact….it shows pete carroll plays no favorites. I know he loved mike williams @ SC and for him to do this means he really is only thinking of the future….go Raiders!

I know a way they can save another $4 million in cap space; cut Tarvaris Jackson

Must be a Niners fan. Not going to cut Tarvaris as he’s going to prove in camp that he belongs to be the starter. Now go and get ready for the coming back to earth of Alex Smith.

Another example of why you should always hold out for better contracts. The contract means nothing to the teams either.
