Green back with the Packers

The Green Bay Packers brought in Ahman Green for a look on Monday but a broadcast report tonight that the veteran running back has returned to the team he once starred for is not accurate.

There is a chance Green could sign with the Packers on Wednesday, a source said, but nothing is in place yet and Greg Bedard of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that Green’s agent Joby Branion also denied there being an agreement.

“Nothing's happened,” Branion told Bedard via email. “Don't know if anything will happen (Wednesday), either.”

Green Bay also kicked the tires on Dominic Rhodes, and the team is concerned about the health of backup running back DeShawn Wynn, who has missed the last two games with a knee injury. According to Bedard, Wynn will be re-evaluated on Wednesday. Obviously, the team will have a sudden need if he is placed on injured reserve.

How is an old, injured RB a 3rd down back?

I think of a 3rd down back as very young, fast... not AG.

Also - how'd he do in Texas ZBS? 3.7-4.0 on limited action.

I'd rather have Sutton...

Sutton could not pass block. That makes him too much like a lineman and not enough like a RB for the Packers taste.

Bedard and JSO now have it on hold as well. Rob Demovsky noted it isn't done for the Press Gazette.

Wilde said one of the things they are taking into consideration is kick returning. Since TWill is essentially a starter at over 50% of snaps, having him do both punt and kickoff returns could be risky. But his backups are Woodson for punt returns and the third string RB for kickoffs. Since Wynn is hurt, Jackson cannot be risked as he is the only RB backup.

So to deal effectively with kick returns, they need a healthy #3 RB.

Classic... what about Lumpkin? Is he a lineman too??

We could always move him up from PS.

Money Morency to the rescue!!!!!!!

He would be a more economic solution than say trading for McFadden for about the same production.

What does this say about Lumpy? ...is the guy hurt or is he just that bad?

[Tyrone Bigguns]

Whisper Goodman cleared of assualt charges? Bring him in!!!

[Badgerinmaine]

its good to have the best packer running back in a few decades back on the team

even if he is only a shell of his old self

What?? They re-signed John Brockington??

He's no good without MacArthur Lane in the backfield with him--gotta be a package deal.

Bedard is reporting Green is telling ex-teammates that the deal is done. He's got a playbook and is studying tonight..

[Partial]

It's gotta be done. He wouldn't have wrote that on Twitter if it wasn't basically a done deal.

True - not sure what the point of keeping him on the PS is if they don't intend on bringing him up when needed.

Partial (VY = Unitas / Rodgers = Scott Hunter) is trying, right now to write-in Green in his fantasy team.

Do you remember Lumpy on kickoffs? Very slow.
