ALAMEDA -- The Raiders have cut Dan Williams.
Hard to say it’s a surprise.
The highly paid defensive tackle’s release didn’t come with a salary-cap hit, which makes the blow far easier than the current depth chart suggests. The Raiders don’t have much at defensive tackle, though Williams was set to make $4.5 million this upcoming season after taking $15.5 million from the club the last two years.
Williams has struggled making weight the last two years, and was proven expendable as the team enters the offseason program. The teams certainly needs to draft a stout defensive tackle this April, considering they have but a few players at that position.
