The Green Bay Packers are bringing back a beloved player to make sure their squad is ready to win an NFC title and return to the Super Bowl.
According to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, veteran cornerback Tramon Williams flew to Green Bay on Wednesday and is expected to sign with the Packers after being cut off by the Baltimore Ravens on Monday.
On the competition’s daily transaction cable, the Packers listed Williams as an official visit from the free agent.
Williams, who will turn 38 in March, played both the 2018 and 2019 season at Green Bay, but was not re-signed in 2020. He eventually signed in Baltimore in November and played six games with the Ravens, including last week’s playoff loss to the Buffalo Bills.
Williams was the Packers’ main cornerback last season. It could provide valuable depth on all corner back positions and potentially give the Packers another option for returning kicks in a pinch.
Williams won a Super Bowl as a member of the Packers in 2010. He has played 15 playoff games with the franchise.
This would be the second time the Packers brought back a player after a loss in the playoff. Offensive equipment Jared Veldheer was signed off with the Indianapolis Colts exhibition team earlier this month.
