Citing "sources," the Washington Post reports the Browns will acquire franchise player Corey Williams from the Packers at midnight tonight.
Green Bay is looking for a second-round pick in exchange for Williams. If this report proves true, Packers GM Ted Thompson will look brilliant. By franchising Williams and putting him on the block, Thompson will have nabbed a day one pick for a player he originally appeared all but certain to lose. Feb. 28 - 9:05 pm et

NFL Network's Adam Schefter confirms that the proposed deal sending DL Corey Williams to Cleveland will net Green Bay a second-round pick.
The Washington Post so far is the only source that has the trade, although multiple outlets have picked it up. Schefter confirms it's in the works.

Adams usually on, so sounds like the Browns wont have a first or second unless they move up.

really the secondary is not weak and they have some players like Wimbley. The problem was the line. Can Williams play the nose, He is pretty big at 6-4 313. He could help solidify that line for sure

Actually thats kind small for his height

**Professor** · 02-28-2008, 11:16 PM

i was thinking that he was a bit small, but the Browns need a nose and he is real strong and creates a great push. It is an upgrade

Browns acquired DL Corey Williams from the Packers in exchange for a second-round pick.
Green Bay gets the No. 56 pick overall. Williams, 27, has been a gap-shooter in the Packers' scheme, but at 6'4/315, has enough size to take on blockers. He'll get a long-term deal from Cleveland that's likely close to the $50 million pact Tommy Kelly signed with Oakland. The Browns' defensive line adds a lot of talent with the move, but are left without a first- or second-round pick in April. The Packers, who still have terrific interior depth, made out very well.

This gives the Packers so much leverage to work with at the draft
