There's no question that the Green Bay Packers have a young and talented group of players making up their cornerback unit. Jaire Alexander has All-Pro potential, and Kevin King had the second-most interceptions in the NFL last season.

Meanwhile, Chandon Sullivan was excellent when given the opportunities, and Ka'dar Hollman's athleticism and physicality make him a good fit for Mike Pettine's press-man scheme. Although Josh Jackson's career hasn't gone as hoped, he was a turnover machine at Iowa, and hopefully, in Year 3 and under the tutelage of Jerry Gray, we see him take a step forward. 

It's these reasons that the Packers haven't brought back Tramon Williams, who still remains a free agent. However, while there is plenty of promise and reasons to be excited about this young cornerback group, there are question marks as well outside of Alexander.

We saw a healthy and productive King in 2019, but prior to last season, he had played in only 15 of his first 32 NFL games. It's fair to wonder whether or not he can put together another healthy season in 2020. And as good as Sullivan was, it was a small sample size. So while many of us believe he is primed for a Year 3 leap, it still remains to be seen. 

Then there is the overall experience of the position or lack thereof. After making 10 starts as a rookie, Jackson saw just 102 total defensive snaps in 2019, according to Pro Football Focus, and has to earn back the trust of the coaching staff. Hollman essentially had a redshirt season in 2019 after being inactive for 14 games, Kabion Ento was on the practice squad, DeShaun Amos in the CFL, and Marc-Antoine Dequoy, Stanford Samuels, and Will Sunderland are all undrafted free agents. 

Add in the fact that we don't know how the coronavirus is going to affect teams this season and depth, perhaps even more so than what it normally is, is at a premium. So given the youth and the unusual season ahead, why haven't the Green Bay Packers re-signed Tramon Williams yet? 

As I mentioned already, my first guess is because they really like the group that they have. And I do as well. However, Williams wasn't just good in 2019, he was very good, and at a premier position such as cornerback, you can never have too many very good players. 

As Green Bay's primary nickel corner last season, Williams was targeted 63 times and came away with two interceptions, allowed only two touchdowns, totaled five pass breakups, and opposing quarterbacks had a passer rating of just 86.5 when throwing his direction. The 0.92 yards per snap that Williams gave up ranked 15th out of 54 eligible slot corners, and his overall coverage grade from Pro Football Focus of 82.2 was the seventh-best among all cornerbacks who played at least 20 percent of their team's defensive snaps. Not too bad for a now 37-year-old.

Of course when discussing any free agent addition we always have to be mindful of the salary cap, especailly considering that the Green Bay Packers have five high-profile free agents of their own - Kenny Clark, David Bakhtiari, Kevin King, Aaron Jones, and Corey Linsley - to worry about next offseason. According to Spotrac, the Packers have just over $11.5 million in available cap space at the moment. However, as salary cap guru Ken Ingalls points outs, not all of that is spendable. Green Bay still has to pay the practice squad, the 52nd and 53rd players on the roster, as well as have money for in-season spending, such as signing a Jared Veldheer or a Tyler Ervin like they did a season ago. Not to mention that rolling over as much unused cap as possible is going to be important as well.

So with those additional costs baked in, Ken has Green Bay with just under $8.7 million in cap space remaining. While they certainly can't go out on a spending spree, adding Williams on a one-year deal worth a few million dollars isn't going to throw their salary cap situation all out of whack either. The benefit of having Williams on the roster outweighs the extra $2 million or $3 million it may cost to acquire him. 

Although there is certainly the possibility that Williams may regress this season, he provides the Green Bay Packers with experienced depth in the slot, out wide, or even at safety as we've seen in the past. And if Sullivan takes hold of the slot duties and never looks back while King stays healthy, at this stage in his career, Williams doesn't have to play in 73 percent of the defensive snaps as he did in 2019.

Who knows, maybe the Packers and Williams are already in discussions, but a likely scenario is that Green Bay could be waiting to see how training camp plays out with their young group of corners before deciding whether or not to give Williams a call. However, too much depth is never a bad thing, so regardless of how this unit performs this summer, I say it's time to re-sign Tramon.
