CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns began the second week of free agency by plugging two holes opened in Week 1.
After Skrine signed with the New York Jets, the Browns hit the market and were able to land Williams, who spent the past eight seasons with the Green Bay Packers. Williams bolsters a defensive backfield featuring three Pro Bowlers: cornerback Joe Haden and safeties Tashaun Gipson and Donte Whitner.
"Those are attributes that are very important for our defensive backs,Wholesale Jerseys China. Tramon is a high-quality person who comes from a winning tradition and we look forward to seeing the positive impact he will have on our team,Bobby Doerr Jersey."
