1 – Tramon Williams, CB Free Agent
This next target is a guy Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy is very familiar with. Tramon Williams played under McCarthy with the Green Bay Packers from 2007-2014. During that eight-year period, Williams recorded a remarkable 28 interceptions. Williams was one of the best ballhawks in football, constantly taking the ball away from opposing offenses.
Now, six years later, Williams is obviously not the same guy he was at his peak, but he still could be valuable for Dallas in a number of ways. The first is his production on the field. Williams last saw the field in 2019, during his second stint with the Green Bay Packers. In that season he still was able to record two interceptions, more than the entire Dallas defense has this season, and PFF rewarded him with an outstanding 78 coverage grade on the season.
There’s reason to believe Williams still has something left in the tank, and in reality, just how much worse could he be than the product the Cowboys are putting on the field? The veteran would also provide some needed leadership to the cornerback room. There’s something to be said about playing 13 years in the NFL, and Williams could possibly help the struggling Cowboys’ secondary get adjusted to their new scheme.
Two months ago Williams made it clear he is not retired, but stated some concerns about the NFL’s COVID-19 policies.
There’s really no downside if Dallas acquired Williams. If he plays well, great, if not, just part ways at the end of the year.
