Tramon Williams is a Brown
-
ESPN has Tramon Williams the second best CB available in free agency with a B+ rating, only behind Revis.
He ranked Skrine as a D.
-
Schefter says three year deal agreed.
-
Starks and Tramon Williams signed today....Bowe to come......jeez we will have no cap space available soon
-
$21m according to Schefter....don't know how much guaranteed
-
Seems to me like Farmer and co. aren't "dropping the ball" like the entire nation is trying to allude to after all!!!!
To those that keep saying players don't want to come to cleveland, maybe the shoe is on the other foot and our front office is only targeting the right players for their scheme...
Of course they aren't going to get every player they want, but playing it smart and not over budgeting will allow them to lock down the players they truly want...ala Mack and Thomas.

This just popped up on the Browns site....
-
hot damn, browns got one bad ass D backfield!!!!!!!!
between haden and williams let's hope this pushes gilbert to realize his potential.
GREAT MOVE!!
-
One of the great moves of the offseason by any team IMO
-
Great addition on the field & in the locker room. They are getting the right types of players.

I'm disappointed not to see Williams back in the green and gold, but it seems like the Browns overpaid for him. Not sure what the guarantees are, but the Packers weren't willing to go above a 2yr/8million deal. He was average at best towards the end of the season, hopefully he gets back to his normal level of play in Cleveland.

Seems like the Brownies may actually know what they're trying to accomplish, and are going out and doing it without the big splash, or breaking the bank. Good add.

^Agree... expecting the terms to be frontloaded as per the norm...
Good player? Yes, but I do not understand the premium over Buster.

He's taller, and wanted to be here. I'm good with it. And he probably doesn't do
really dumb things once in a while, like Buster running smack dab into a player
receiving a kick.

Why do we celebrate signings like this as we try to rebuild? That's not a knock on Williams he's a solid cb and was one of the best FA's still available. I get it, we want to see this franchise be successful and it's exciting when we sign a player that makes us more competitive. But at the end of the day he's not going to contribute LONG TERM to this team, he's a stop gap that might make us slightly more competitive for a few years but what good does that ultimately do us? Going 7-9 instead of 6-10?
This front office lacks a vision for the long term, they only focus on being more competitive for the next season over sustainable success long term even if that means taking some lumps these next few years in order to develop young players that can either help us win going forward or earn big contracts elsewhere and bring in comp picks that we develop all over again. That's why teams like the Packers, Patriots, and Ratbirds are so successful. They build the core of their team through the draft and not through FA.
Those are the types of team that needed Tramon Williams, a contender looking for the last couple pieces to push them over the top. Not a team like us who's rebuilding. Odds are we aren't even making the playoffs with or without Williams, so why not use those snaps to develop a young cb who could actually help us long term? Williams would've signed with a contender for 5M per and we overpaid him to come be a stop gap. It's moves like this that stunt the growth of our young talent and spend unnecessary money.

CB by the Numbers::Revis14m/yr.///Maxwell10.5/yr./// C.Culliver8m/yr.///A.Cromartie8m/yr.///T.Williams7m/yr.///Skrine6.25m///P.Cox5m/yr.///B.Browner5m/yr. It's a little High to pay. But Front Office have concerns like I do on Gilbert. Yes working with Haden will help Gilbert and CB rotation should be stronger..

Bill I was as surprised as you are going to be at this amazing information. There is still a draft coming up! I just read it somewhere! This is tremendous news don't you think???
