WR Mike Williams Released

Yesterday Mike Williams of the Seattle Seahawks was released. The remaining WR's are Ben Obomanu and Golden Tate. There are several teams that could go to try to get Mike Williams to upgrade the recieving staff. Below are the ranks of the teams that could use a reciever.
1. St. Louis Rams: The Rams were ranked #27 in recieving YD's last season with 3,258 YD's. Their current recievers are Brandon Gibson and Danario Alexander which shows desperate need for a new reciever to power up the staff.
2. Jacksonville Jaguars: The Jaguars were ranked #32 in recieving YD's with 2,510 YD's. Their current recievers are Justin Blackmon and Mike Thomas. The Jaguars have the worst recieving due to the QB Blaine Gabbert who needs some exciting weapons to at least do something.
3. Indianopolis Colts: The Colts were ranked #29 in recieving last year for 3,223 YD's. Their current recievers are: Austin Collis and Pierre Garcon. Their passing was one of the worst last year due to the injured Peyton Manning. Andrew Luck is now in charge in Indianopolis and will probably be looking for more weapons to power the team.
4. Kansas City Chiefs: The Chiefs were ranked #26 in the NFL with 3,288 YD's. Thie current recievers are Dwayne Bowe and Steve Breaston. This would be a smart move due to Dwayne Bowe holding out incase they can't find a deal. It might even scare Bowe into making a deal.
5. Carolina Panthers: The Panthers were ranked #13 in the NFL with 4,089 YD's. Their current recievers are Steve Smith and Brandon LaFell. At this point I'm not sure if Cam Newton has enough weapons to be 100% comfortable with passing the ball causing him to run it, but other teams know this and will try to plan for his runs causing Newton to fall off balance. Another weapon will give him more confidence in his passing game which can help lead toward a playoff berth.
