The fact that the Las Vegas Raiders officially released wide receiver Tyrell Williams on Wednesday was no surprise at all. It was expected for months and it has been reported for weeks.
The only interesting aspect of the actual release was it came on Feb. 24. The initial report stated that the Raiders would do it when when the new league year starts on March 24 ... but the Raiders got an early start, which leads to the question: Who is next?
Players such as right tackle Trent Brown, defensive backs Lamarcus Joyner and Jeff Heath, backup quarterback Marcus Mariota, and backup running back Jalen Richard could all be candidates for release.
