The Packers have agreed to sign cornerback Tramon Williams, according to former teammate James Jones (on Twitter). Williams, who spent the first eight seasons of his career in Green Bay, returns on a two-year deal. 
Williams was a crucial part of the Packers’ Super Bowl victory in the 2010 season. He had three interceptions during that playoff run and came up with a critical stop late in the championship game to seal the win for Green Bay.
Williams, 35, is coming off of one of the best seasons of his career. The Cardinals long searched for a quality cornerback to pair with star Patrick Peterson and Williams did an admirable job in that role. Pro Football Focus ranked Williams ninth amongst all corners last year and he finished 23rd in Football Outsiders’ success rate and 18th in yards per pass allowed. As a whole, the Cardinals ranked sixth in DVOA against opposing No. 2 wide receivers. They’ll now have to rebuild their secondary after losing Williams and parting ways with Tyrann Mathieu.
The Packers have been eager for an upgrade at cornerback and recently tried to steal restricted free agent Kyle Fuller away from the rival Bears. Fuller would have been a better long-term pickup, but Williams should still be a contributor in the short term.
Gross.
Erm…okay?
great signing
In 2012
Sadly he projects to be the starter right now. Talk about gross
He graded out better than every free agent CB available this offseason. Yes he’s older but he is also known as a good mentor for younger players so King, Rollins and anybody they draft will benefit from this. I’m guessing his salary is minimal so it’s also a low risk deal.
I would not have guessed he was the 9th best corner last year. Does volume of passes thrown at typically bump up your ranking?
Now cardinals NEED to sign EJ Gaines
This has Ted Thompson written all over it.
