I said that "absent a midseason signing" it would guarantee that he wouldn't be back, the assumption being, of course, that another team would offer him significantly more. According to the articles posted above, this contract gives Williams what amounts to an outright release after this season, which would allow him to test the free-agent market. If Ted Thompson gives him a few games to show his worth in the new scheme and then offers him a long-term deal, we would see Williams back next year.

Non sense. If he does well, we'll resign him. It's a pretty simple scenario. As you mentioned, he may even be resigned before seasons end, which is what I'm expecting.

I simply feel that because he signed a one year deal that it does not mean once so ever that he'll be gone after the season if he does not have a contract. I just do not see the logic in that thinking. I'm trying to, just, can't, do, it.

All I know is Tramon is a Packer and will be a Packer for years to come. Why? Because I freaking said so! 🙂

The only reason for my assumption is that the contract apparently gives him an outright release. Therefore, the Packers have no rights to him after this season.

My thoughts are pretty basic, Thompson to date hasn't let players with value walk away for nothing, see a legendary QB and Williams as examples.

So that leads me to believe that the Packers have a plan in regards to Williams, probably have an idea of what type of deal he will want at the end of this season, and won't just let him walk away "free"...

But, I will say this, Ball and Thompson have their work cut out for them this season in terms of re-inking players of Thompson's bringing.. and Kampman to boot..

    Mucky Tundra (14h) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol
    buckeyepackfan (14h) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier
    buckeyepackfan (14h) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol
    Mucky Tundra (14h) : Jacobs gonna be OK???
    Zero2Cool (14h) : Watson gonna be OK???
    packerfanoutwest (18h) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath
    packerfanoutwest (18h) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.
    packerfanoutwest (18h) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed
    Zero2Cool (20h) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them
    Zero2Cool (20h) : I just checked. What tie breaker?
    bboystyle (20h) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner
    Zero2Cool (20h) : Ahh, ok.
    bboystyle (20h) : yes due to tie breaker
    Zero2Cool (20h) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.
    Zero2Cool (20h) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?
    bboystyle (20h) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference
    Mucky Tundra (21h) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network
    beast (22h) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
    beast (22h) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly
    Zero2Cool (22h) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.
    bboystyle (22h) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed
    Mucky Tundra (22h) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv
    Zero2Cool (23h) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno
    beast (23h) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?
    packerfanoutwest (23h) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : dammit. 3:25pm
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm
    Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground
    Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Yeah baby!
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.
    beast (23-Dec) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.
    packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?
    beast (23-Dec) : Saying no to the 6th lock.
    beast (23-Dec) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.
    beast (23-Dec) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games
    beast (23-Dec) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality
    beast (23-Dec) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I literally just said it.
    packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.
