Will the Packers re-sign Ryan Grant?

[Patler]

Does Grant now get re-signed?
I think it is quite possible. There will now be a rush to sign undrafted rookies, and they could find one or two RBs there, but the chance of Grant returning is stronger than if they had drafted a running back.

[King Friday]

I doubt it. Grant is clearly past his prime. He has no upside at this point...it is all downhill from here. To be perfectly honest, an undrafted rookie RB probably could probably offer this team as much as Grant would. I think Thompson believes Starks and Green will provide enough of a 1-2 punch. I wouldn't be surprised to see Thompson pick up someone at final cutdowns either...similar to what he did with Grant.

Didn't he trade for Grant?

[hoosier]

Yes. Green hasn't shown anything and right now there is no way of knowing when, or even if, he will have recovered enough to be able to play a meaningful role in the backfield. Right now Grant is the only dependable backup option to Starks, and there is no running back in the league who needs a backup more than Starks.

[King Friday]

Didn't he trade for Grant?

Yes...late round pick for a guy who was going to be cut at final cutdown. To me, that is basically a pick up. 6th/7th round picks are a dime a dozen.

Oh...gotcha. I read somewhere the Packers had a choice between Grant and Ward and they chose Grant. Too bad they didn't offer a 4th for Bradshaw.

THIS!

I think they are thinking they are fine with Starks, Green, and Saine. I picture this is like our defense last year....we are good with our guys and we will "coach them up"....and then next year we will draft a guy early cause it didn't workout. Marcus Tyler might surprise as UDFA though.

[Brando19]

Once again...Reggie Bush and Jonathan Stewart are being dangled as trade bait. Stewart? yes please.

I don't see Grant as past his prime. He has very little wear and tear. With Starks, Green and Saine they have three development guys already, with the most experienced one, Starks, providing no reliability at all. Grant would fit in nicely as the experienced veteran. No reason they coildn't keep all of them along with Kuhn.

[smuggler]

I like Grant, but we aren't going to keep him.

I have always thought Bush would reach his potential in M3's offense. Grant wouldnt be the worse but TT seems to want to load up for the second half of his championship window.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I think they are thinking they are fine with Starks, Green, and Saine.

Maybe, but one of the three could get hurt in training camp. You need some depth going in.

[Scott Campbell]

This might be a little bit like the James Jones situation last year in that Grant found out that there isn't much of a free agency market for him, and we can get him relatively cheap. And Green didn't show much before he got hurt. I'd rather have Grant at this point than Driver.





Sorry Donald.

One hasn't played an entire season since 2008 (his Junior year of college) because of injuries. One finished last year on IR with an ACL. One has 18 career carries. I like the idea of bringing Grant back.
