    I like the signing. Bringing a veteran guy finally and allows him to break the record hopefully. I was little sad that he left when he did with only 46 yards to break the packer record.

    I'm ok with the number. Wonder if he can get some Edgar Bennett magic since they now will have shared the number 34.

      If Bert came back he could have his "respectful" # 4 but he'd have to wear a jester's outfit for uniform and a pointed hat with ears for helmet. Tar and feathers too.

      Welcome back, Ahman Green, to # 34 and the Green'n'Gold uniform.

        I hope he's still got something in the tank. The Packers worked him out on Monday, so they'd know better than I would.

          I'd heard that 34 was Green's # in High School. Can anyone verify that?

            I miss the way he would 'levitate' an LB. I'd love to see that at least once more.

                Solid signing. Wynn was hurt again, and hasn't provided us anything in a backup role in three seasons. Green has experience with some of the players on the team, in a packers all time great, and is just 2 years removed from the last time he was good. RB's going to the Texans and Raiders = end of career, generally. Maybe he can be just what need.

                Thing Edge for the cardinals last year. He was hurt most the year, came back later in the season and fully refreshed after being garbage for a year or two, and helped really push the cards into the Super Bowl. He played very well, as a rested veteran. I am positive Green can't handle the load as a full time back for a whole season, but coming back at this part of the season is good. He is refreshed and may still have something left in the tank. If you remember, he's been hurt the last 2 seasons, so he didn't really take a lot of punishment.

                He could still ahve something left. I like a 1 2 punch of Grant and Green. I think this is a clear upgrade in personel, and I applaud TT for pulling the trigger.

                  I too hope that he can come in and give some fresh legs and some solid runs as well. I hope he rubs off more on Grant than Jackson as Grant needs to learn how to see the hole better.

                    As much as this isn't that comforting of a move, I have a hard time believing Ahman, with a year off of work (rest?), wouldn't be a significant improvement over Wynn.

                    I have seen NOTHING from Wynn outside of a spin move for 6 yards in the preseason to think he's anything but a fat, slow, underachieving piece of shit.

                    Welcome back, Batman!

                      No more talk of rubbing off on anyone, else the nose on Basket's AVATAR is going to be pointing to the top of your computer screen.

                        First off, did Green ASK for #30?? Second, who is likely to be with the packers longer at this point?

                        Your appauled?? Honestly, that is funny. You are right though, mid season they Pack should have yanked #30 from a guy who has given his all to the team for the last couple seasons to give to a guy who is likely happy to just be on a roster again so that next camp they can turn around and give #30 to someone else when Green likely retires.

                          Kuhn sucks. He's just a guy. Green has earned the right to his number and retire as a Packer. Let's not forget he is going to become the leading rusher in the long, tradition filled history of the GBP. He was an elite player.

                          • My initial reaction? At least now Aaron Rodgers will have one dependable pass blocker.
                            Always respect your opponent, even when you're kicking the crap outta him.

                              Past tense means he is now, in your words, "just a guy".

                              • IIRC, the Packers cannot take #30 away from Kuhn and give it to Green without cutting Kuhn. If Green wants #30 badly, he and Kuhn will have to figure it out. It's entirely probable that Green just doesn't care, and he's just happy to be on a roster, in which case there's nothing to get upset about.

                                Anybody who honestly thinks we should cut John Kuhn in order to give Ahman Green his number back is a nutbag.
