We've had more than a full week go by in free agency now, and the Packers remain the only team in the NFL to not sign a player from a different team. If you're worried about the cornerback position in light of that fact, you're not alone. But know that the two departing players, Davon House and Tramon Williams, got huge deals elsewhere.
In fact, we learned this morning (thanks to Aaron Wilson of the National Football Post) that Tramon Williams got over $10 million guaranteed from the Browns - including his next two years' base salaries. That's more than the total value of the contract that the Packers offered Williams for two years. All in all, the opportunity cost of signing him was just too high.
Regarding Williams, however, he and his position are a focus of today's curds, which also features some random tidbits like Aaron Rodgers photobombs and a wide receiver's 360 dunk. Enjoy!

It's not even so much the top-end talent that concerns me, it's the lack of depth at the position and the knowledge that one bad injury could send the defense into a tailspin.

At one time before the 2010 season, cornerbacks coach Joe Whitt said that Tramon Williams was a better pure cover corner than either Al Harris or the reigning Defensive Player of the year, Charles Woodson. At least for that season, he was absolutely right.

Why would anyone ever accuse the NFL of being humorless? Oh wait, that's right. Because that's exactly what the league is.
Finally, we close with this impressive display of athleticism from the 6'1" Packers wideout, Davante Adams:

No wonder he has no trouble with the Lambeau Leap.
