Packers bring in QB Frerotte for visit


The Green Bay Packers brought in quarterback Gus Frerotte for a visit and physical Tuesday, according to his agent, Marvin Demoff.


Frerotte, who will turn 37 on July 31, is the second free agent the Packers have brought in as a possible candidate to back up new starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers. They've had former Jacksonville No. 3 quarterback Quinn Gray in for a visit.


Frerotte was scheduled to visit the Minnesota Vikings today.


The Packers are considering several avenues to acquire a No. 2 quarterback, including free agency.


Frerotte has 82 NFL starts in his 14 previous seasons but has been a backup for the past seven years with the exception of 2005, when he started 15 games for Miami. He played in eight games last season for St. Louis, including three starts, and had a passer rating of 58.3 points.

I think he's pretty good for a backup QB, he was on some crappy teams.

Yuck.

[Zool]

Double yuk. How is he better than Nall?

[MadtownPacker]

Dont want him and really dont need him. Garbage.

Good call Cheech.
Old Gus should be put out to pasture.

[Freak Out]

In Gus we don't trust.

If there's enough padding on the stadium walls, maybe he won't knock himself out for the season when he head-butts the afore-mentioned wall.

Reference Redskins/Giants, 1997.

If this is the answer, the question must be pretty stupid.

They are looking at him for what? Equipment Manager?

What a Joke.
