  • Rumors: Rodgers may hand off to Westbrook

    I don't have insider on ESPN but it seems Westbrook has not been getting many offers and GB might bring in him cheap for a one year deal. I wouldn't mind this at all, I think Westbrook still has a lot of value as a 3rd down back.

    somebody sent me a blurp of that article today; would not get too excited yet. The just was........the longer Westbook sits out there..the more likely it is TT will bring him in for a visit.
    TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

      Agreed, I believe teams are just waiting until after the draft but TT should jump on a deal for Westbrook before someone else takes him. Westbrook is a high character guy and could be a nice change of pace back with Ryan Grant. Would much rather have Westbrook on a screen play than Grant.

        This would be a nice pick-up by providing another dimension to an already potent offense.

          Yes please.

            This.

            Seems like a TT move as he waits for interest...

              if we could keep him from being hit at all this would be a decent signing

              otherwise we would be putting our eggs in a basket that probably won't make it out of preseason.

                The thread title is off. Wouldn't Rodgers be more likely to throw a screen pass to Westbrook?

                  the thing no one has mentioned that would benefit the packers is....veteran presence in the locker room.

                  If he can return kicks and punts, and be a positive influence for some young guys his value would be huge.

                    With his concussion history, he would be the last guy who should return punts/kicks.

                        Yea I don't think he is durable enough to be a return man.

                          With Westbrook's history of concussions I'd pass. If the Packers want a veteran RB presense in the lockerroom all they have to do is make a call to Mr. Green teaching over at De Pere High School.

                            This is the type of "big name" FA that I would like to see the Packers sign. Someone that hasn't garnered much attention and thus would come cheap, but has a chance of proving himself to be a useful and wily, experienced veteran.

                            Other teams can keep overpaying for overrated talent. This? This sort of thing, I like.

                              I don't really care where they go at RB. I wouldn't mind a younger guy, wouldn't mind Ahman (mainly because I like him so much), and this is intriguing to me also. Westbrook, when healthy, would give a different dimension than Grant can give the team. How about we resign Ahman, sign Westbrook, and go with four RBs.
