Last week the Raiders made the expected move of officially releasing wide receiver Tyrell Williams. He missed all of last season with injury and was set to make over $11 million this coming season; money the Raiders can certainly use.
Today, the first major free agent list of NFL free agents was put out since Williams entered the market. NFL.com released their Top 101 Free Agents and the 29-year-old landed on the list at 89 overall.
While Williams couldn’t stay healthy with the Raiders, there’s a reason he cost $11 million per year just two offseasons ago.
The other Raiders’ free agents to make this Top 101 were WR Nelson Agholor (56), and DE Takkarist McKinley (91).
Other Raiders free agents who could make a case to be among the NFL’s top free agents include G Denzelle Good, and LB Nicholas Morrow.
Agholor is the one who has shown up most often on these lists. His highest ranking came via The Athletic who had him as the 33rd best free agent. Pro Football Focus had him at 62, and Touchdown Wire had him at 67.
McKinley landed on the PFF list at number 95. Morrow also showed up on the PFF list at number 195.
