Green Bay - The Green Bay Packers have signed cornerback Tramon Williams to a four-year contract extension averaging $8.25 million, the Journal Sentinel has learned.
The deal is worth $41.25 million and extends through 2014. The Packers and agent Rodney Williams completed the deal late last week but the club didnt announce it.
Williams received a $6 million signing bonus, roster bonuses of $2.5 million in 2011, $2.8 million in 2012 and $300,000 in both 2013 and 2014.
He had been playing under a one-year tender worth $3.043 million.
Williamss base salary increased this year to $14,376,333, with $5.074 million of it guaranteed.
At $8.25 million, Williams trails just three players in Green Bay in average salary per year: quarterback Aaron Rodgers ($12.7 million), cornerback Charles Woodson ($9.73 million) and wide receiver Greg Jennings ($8.75 million).
Williams, 27, entered the league as a free agent with Houston in 2006. Cut by the Texans, he joined the Packers practice squad in November 2006.
