1. His best days are likely behind him and for his pricetag, may not be worth it.
2. The new defense is going to be press corner and that's not Williams.

Get Okudah in FA (played for Nielsen last year) and draft a new player.

We're still allocating cap space and a draft pick to add two positions to this secondary which in turn means you're not addressing two positions of need in more critical areas.

I just don't like it. It's early. I know I am overreacting. We'll see what happens. Tagging Allen and losing Ridley though means you have to address WR again.

I think it's probably primarily an age/current year price tag thing.  They don't want to reduce the current year salary by signing a 31 year old to some 3 or 4 year deal and they don't want to pay him $11 million for the season because they have other priorities with that cash this year.  Also his dead cap number is $500k or something insignificant.  Had the dead cap been $5 or $6 mil, I bet they would have just kept him for the final year of his deal.
