Green Bay Packers running back Ahman Green said Sunday that he won't be taking any more free agent trips and could have a decision on his future in the next 24 hours.
Speaking to reporters in Houston after his visit with the Texans, Green said he had cancelled his other scheduled visit - thought to be with the Oakland Raiders -- and was through flying the friendly skies. Though Green visited Denver, it appears it's down to the Texans and Packers.
"I have gotten to the point where I have seen enough," Green said. "I don't need to venture out anymore. I know a few teams that are disappointed because I did have some visits set up, but from the two teams that I have visited, I don't need to see anymore."
The Packers appear to be in the driver's seat with Green and may be in the process of negotiating a deal. General manager Ted Thompson was not available for comment and it was unclear if talks between the two sides had gotten.
As he did in Denver when interviewed at the airport, Green said in Houston that it would be difficult to leave the Packers. He is seeking a hefty raise from the $2.75 million he earned last year, but all things being equal he would prefer to stay.
"I don't know yet, but, I think for anybody generally speaking it would be tough to do," Green said of leaving. "When you're a kid and you transfer a school, and that school you have all your buddies. Regardless of if it was good times or bad times, it's still a tough time to leave."
It's unclear whether the Texans are willing to pay considerably more than the Packers for Green. Denver is focusing on free agent Travis Henry and would probably go for Green as a fallback option.
Asked if he would make a decision in the next 24 hours, Green said, "Possibly."
