Tramon Williams

[HarveyWallbangers]

Heard he signed back with GB. I wouldn't mind signing Jordan Matthews, signing Breeland or maybe DRC later, and extending ARod. That would be a pretty good offseason.

[Joemailman]

Solid move signing Tramon. Played better than House last year. Knows Pettine's defense. I think Gutey will sign one more CB.

[red]

that definitely helps the mess at CB

patch. depth. experience. leadership. not a cure.

yep. baby steps...

[texaspackerbacker]

Every now and then, a DB comes along who defies time and stays good well into his thirties. I think Tramon has actually improved a little bit the last few years. I assume they didn't pay him much, and I still like to see the Packers sign a star-quality Corner, but this is at least a positive thing, I think. I'd take him over House.

NFL Network rated him the 5th most efficent CB in 2017. If he can have that type of success again here, it'd be more than a patch.

[The Shadow]

Solid move. In addition to bolstering the CB position, he will be a good mentor for the youngsters. And : how could you not like a guy that sealed our last Super Bowl win?

Patch strictly by virtue of age.

[ND72]

yes fair enough. Just need 1 good year ;)

[pbmax]

I cannot imagine this is going to work out well. But as Tramon got unlucky in his last years with the Pack (shoulder/nerve) maybe they get lucky this time.

James Jones @89JonesNTAF
REUNITED: Sources tell me CB Tramon Williams @HighRizer22 will be returning to the #Packers on a 2-Year Deal...He played there for 9 years and helped seal the #SBXLV victory...Much needed CB help is on the way @nflnetwork @NFL


James Jones with the scoop again. Packer reporters saying its probably pending a physical yet.

good signing

[run pMc]

Well, Terence Newman has played ok for the Vikes as a depth guy, and he's ancient.

Tramon will be a big step up from Randall in terms of a veteran and role model for the others. I don't know if you want him as your starter across from a WR2 however.
If he's starting at CB in week 6, it better be because of injuries or the other team trotted out 3-4WRs to start the game. If injuries really crush them, I'd trusst him more than Lenzy Pipkins, but maybe he'll make the leap. :)

Agree wholeheartedly. Definitely a signing done because there are no better options out there. Very, very surprised he got a 2-year contract. At age 35, he doesn't have much left in the tank

[mraynrand]

APB would call this a 'Cheat move - assuming it works out... :)

[Deputy Nutz]

Its a move for depth that the Packers desperately need, but to think that the Packers just signed Charles Woodson? I think not. I wonder if the Packers are smart enough to still bolster their defensive backfield after this signing with some early round additions through the draft?

[hoosier]

James Jones with the scoop again. .

I bet ARod was wishing JJ had shown these soft hands back in 2009-10.

[woodbuck27]

That was a necessary move but it appears like his Agents demand for a 2 Year deal played a part.

It's not enough though and are the Packers considering moving up in the Draft to get the very best CB available?

[woodbuck27]

http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/green-bay-packers/cap/

Cap Space (w/All) $13,646,197

Cap Space (w/Top 51 & Projected Draft Pool) $7,639,112

Cap Space (w/Top 51) $17,006,197

$7,639,112 (minus $3,359)) = $4,280.

$ 4,280. (minus the Tramon Williams signing) = Remaining CAP on Friday 23 March 2018.

well played, sir.

Packers officially sign Tramon Williams on reported 2-year, $10 million deal

We don’t know the full structure yet, but it looks like a decent deal for the 35-year-old veteran.

Belichick is not afraid to acquire graybeards. E.g., J. Taylor, J. Seau, J. Harrison, D. Flutie

No doubt the German Shepherd is utilizing Belichickism. The math is simple: (Elite QB + Belichickism) * (Moby Iverson Formula/1) = Multiple Super Bowl Wins.

Btw, per JSO, Gute offered Fuller a 4 yr $56 M ($18 M signing bonus) deal. Is Fuller worth $14 M/yr? That's debatable. But it shows that the German Shepherd is serious about returning the Packers back to its former glory. Fuck the Bears!

[texaspackerbacker]

If Herr Gutekunst induced the Bears to spend $56 million, something over $18 million guaranteed to match the deal, he did indeed Fuck the Bears!

It woulda been nice to have Fuller in the Green and Gold, though.

[texaspackerbacker]

True, but awfully expensive. I seem to recall the other Fuller (Kendall?) looking better than Kyle.

[Fritz]

The Fuller Brush salesman looked as good as Kyle did against Aaron Rodgers.

I'm okay with Tramontana for a year or two. They do need to draft someone who can come in and compete and learn right away - and who's going to play the slot now? Man, they better get Chubb or they won't be able to cover up the lack of cover men.

Playing for a year or two or backing up and "leadering" for 2 years.

It unbelievable that every article about Tramontana mentions his seven game stint last year and his leadership as his best qualities.

Its AJ Hawk levels of faint praise.

Add these two and it would be a GREAT offseason !

he's like 36 or something. it will be a miracle if he puts that kind of year together again.

Yeah, I am very doubtful about the resurgence talk. I understand wanting vets as backups rather than rooks and UDFAs, but one of Williams or House will be starting.

[Tony Oday]

Sounds like he is doing well:

Ahh..the memories:


‘Unfinished business’

So many things went wrong in the final minutes of the 2014 NFC Championship Game that it’s easy to forget how it actually ended, and who gave up the final play.

It was Williams, who was in coverage -- all by himself because of a blitz call from defensive coordinator Dom Capers -- against Seattle’s Jermaine Kearse on the Seahawks' 35-yard game-winning touchdown in overtime.

It was Williams’ final play as a Packer. The Packers moved on and so did Williams, who signed with the Browns that offseason. He played two years in Cleveland and last season with the Cardinals before he returned to Green Bay this offseason on a two-year, $10 million deal.

“I feel like there’s unfinished business,” Williams said upon his return.

[The Shadow]

High hopes for Tramon.

[pbmax]

Is hysterical blindness a thing? Because I may have had it after reading about that game again.

He played in 13 games. Started 9. Come on. Drink the Kool-Aid.

I'm sure there's a drinking game out there involving how many times terms like "crafty," "wily," and "savvy" veteran are invoked by announcers.
