Packers Calendar: Tramon Williams' 32nd Birthday
The current free agent becomes a rare NFL cornerback age 32 and over.
Hope everyone is having fun filling out their brackets.
On the occasion of Tramon Williams' 32nd birthday, I'm reminded of this exchange on social media:
Tramon Williams turns 32 Monday. “@PFF_NateJahnke: There are currently no cornerbacks on an NFL roster over the age of 31.”

It's remarkable that Williams, at his age, played football at a competitive level last season and still wants to continue playing football.
"How long can Williams continue to play at a high level?" That's the question that needs to be answered as he remains a free agent.
Based on his play in 2014, it certainly seems as if Williams can be competitive for another year or two, but not three or four. And any team vying for his services in free agency can't be blamed for balking at giving him a three- or four-year contract, or at least one that they can't get out of with any cap hit whatsoever.
Williams reportedly visited the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Whether he spent the night and is still there has gone unreported, but he has not agreed to a contract yet.
The Packers would appear to remain in play for Williams, however, it would seem they're not ready to go above their alleged two-year, $8 million offer.
It's also important to note because of Williams' age, it doesn't appear the Packers would get a compensatory draft pick for his potential loss.

3 year, $21 million. Happy Birthday, indeed.
It really hurts to lose their #2 and #4 CB, but, man, I can't really fault TT for not matching either of those deals.
