GREEN BAY -- While the free-agent spending spree continued throughout the NFL Saturday, Green Bay Packers general manager Ted Thompson was sticking with his don't-get-caught-up-in-it approach.

At least if you believe Thompson and not the speculation and rumors floating about regarding Randy Moss and Jason Taylor.

"Everything's sort of quiet," Thompson said Saturday afternoon. "We're planning some things, but there's not much going on. "

What did go was the Packers' trade of franchise-tagged defensive tackle Corey Williams to the Cleveland Browns for a second-round pick, No. 56 overall, finally became official.

At his introductory news conference in Cleveland, Williams made it clear he "wasn't happy about" the Packers tagging him, which likely prevented him from an even bigger open-market payday than the six-year, $38 million deal he signed with the Browns as part of the trade.

"I wanted out of Green Bay and I'm glad Cleveland called me," Williams told the Cleveland-area media. "I feel like I am wanted here. It feels like home to me and I've only been here one day. I already feel like I got the love that I have been looking for. I'm happy and excited about it."

Thompson acknowledged the Packers were never close to striking a long-term deal with Williams, who started 11 of 18 games last season but shared time with Johnny Jolly before Jolly's Nov. 18 season-ending shoulder injury.

"I was hoping Corey would play for the one-year tender, but I think he was more interested in something long-term," Thompson said. "We lost a good player."

"It's certainly a chance to get one more player," Thompson said of the pick, which means Green Bay will pick 30th, 56th and 60th on April 26, the first day of the draft. "But it's so early, it's hard to tell. The draft is so far away."

Asked if adding the Browns' second-round pick gives him the ammunition to trade up -- something he has never done, with the Packers or while running the Seattle Seahawks' drafts -- Thompson replied, "Sure. Certainly having another pick gives you a few more options. But we'll see what happens."

Meanwhile, despite their relative inactivity -- Detroit defensive end Corey Smith is set to visit Tuesday -- the Packers were a hot topic on the Web.

Adam Schefter of the NFL Network and NFL.com suggested the Packers could be interested in signing Moss, the New England Patriots wide receiver whom they considered acquiring last offseason before Oakland dealt him to the Patriots.

According to ProFootballTalk.com, Schefter suggested the Packers might pursue Moss as a way to persuade Brett Favre to come back for another season. Moss had 98 catches for 1,453 yards and 23 touchdowns last season.

The other Internet rumor was about Taylor, the Miami Dolphins defensive end and "Dancing With the Stars" entrant. Apparently started by a radio report, the Packers supposedly would give up second- and fourth-round picks for him.

But an NFL source said Saturday night there was "nothing to" the rumor.

Also, at least three sources reported the Dolphins will release Taylor, 33, before the draft. He has two years left on his contract and is scheduled to make $7.5 million this season.
