The Eagles are set to re-sign Trevor Williams, as Adam Schefter of ESPN.com tweets. The cornerback has been waiting for a call ever since the end of July, when the Birds dropped him from the roster.

Despite having 27 career starts on his resume, Williams settled for a reserve/futures deal with the Birds in January. The former UDFA was a Chargers regular from 2016-18, up until last year when they released him from the injured reserve list.
The Penn State product hasn’t been able to stay healthy in recent years. Last season, he saw the field for just two games while with the Cardinals. Now on the verge of his 27th birthday (Sept. 15), he’ll look to make the final cut and get back to his old form. Williams’ best season to date came in 2017, when he started 15 games and notched 13 passes defended with two interceptions.
Nice
he’s no Earl thomas
Maybe that’s a good thing…
This guy is great. he might have lost a step since the Superbowl win in Jan 2014. If we were to get him he is our top S, plus he could teach kvon Wallace some one & outs of the position
I’m not sure Thomas is the best player to have as a veteran mentor, so that seems pretty unrealistic. He would be a significant upgrade over Mills though
In what way is he a significant upgrade over Mills?
Makes me wonder if the Eagles are trading Douglas or Sidney Jones.
