It was an ugly Cleveland Browns tenure for cornerback Tramon Williams. After two seasons lost in the midst of an inexperienced secondary, the well-respected former Green Bay Packer was released by the organization on Tuesday.
Cutting Williams loose marks the demise of yet another Ray Farmer free agency acquisition, as does the release of quarterback Josh McCown, which was announced at the same time. This gives the Browns a lot more cap space to spend – somewhere north of $105 million – as Williams was making close to $7 million a year when you combine his roster bonus and salary.
