The Tennessee Titans have released wide receiver Mike Williams, closing yet another chapter in a disappointing career.

The Detroit Lions made Williams the 10th overall pick in the 2005 NFL draft, and he’s been a huge disappointment. He showed up overweight and out of shape, never demonstrated the slightest bit of commitment to his sport, and was eventually traded to the Raiders for a fourth-round draft pick.

Williams didn’t do much with the Raiders, either, but the reports out of Tennessee indicated that he had committed himself to his conditioning and lost weight. There was optimism that he could be a solid contributor this season.

Instead, he’s booted off the team after just a week of training camp. It now seems possible that his NFL career is over, at the age of 24.
