    Looking at Michael Huff

    Per PFT us and 3 teams with less cap room are all having a look-see at Michael Huff. This would keep alive a 10 year tradition of swapping DB's back and forth with the Raiders.

    From another forum:
    2002
    Darrien Gordon, former OAK DB signs with GB to return punts (this one is a throw in, the fun begins in 2003)

    2003
    Chris Johnson - GB traded a future 6th to take him in the 7th, JSOnline article reports OAK admitted plans to draft Johnson, who would later go on to play many years in OAK.

    2004
    Derek Combs - switches from OAK to GB

    Marques Anderson - cut by GB after 2 years, immediately signed by OAK

    (As an aside, this is the year that scarcity drives the Packers to select Ahmad Carroll and Joey Thomas with their first 2 picks. Going back and reading old scouting reports on these guys you can understand why they were picked. Watching NFL film on them, not so much.)

    2005
    Fabian Washington – OAK drafts after trading immediately in front of GB 1 spot ahead of GB in the 1st round. GB gets stuck with QB Aaron Rodgers.

    2006
    Charles Woodson - OAK UFA signs with GB

    2007
    John Bowie - OAK trades up 2 spots in front GB to select him in 4th round, GB subsequently trades back

    Jason Horton - switches from GB to OAK

    Curtis Fuller - former GB DB begins assistant coaching career with OAK. Returns to GB to coach in 2009-2010.

    2008
    Tyvon Branch – OAK trades up in 4th round from 104 to 100. Packers had traded into pick 102.

    Marviel Underwood - signed by OAK, former Packers 5th round pick

    2009
    Mike Hawkins - OAK signs former GB 5th round pick

    2010
    Joey Thomas - former GB 3rd round pick signs with the OAK

    2011
    Joe Porter - played 6 games for the OAK, after playing his only other NFL game with GB

    2012
    Pat Lee – brought from OAK to GB by Reggie McKenzie

    Brandian Ross - Plays in 14 games for OAK after being signed off GB practice squad
    Huff makes some sense in GB as he's got the size, speed, and ball skills to be a diet version of Nick Collins in center field once again.

    Don't know much about him - I guess he's not a STAR, but he's no slouch either. Saw the Ravens are interested in him - that's where he'll go.

      wasn't he suppose to be a star??? Maybe getting a new start in GB will be the jump start he needs.

        Former 1st round pick, I believe. Drafted pretty high in the first round, if I remember right.

          he was draft 7th I think, but it was by the raiders and when was the last time any of the 1st rounders amounted to anything.... I say pass

              Yup, he was taken 7th, and the Raiders used number 7 2 years later to select DHB! At least Huff got a second contract, DHB got booted before his rookie deal was done!

                True, but unlike DHB (who was a Troy Williamson-like reach), Huff was projected to go high. I'm intrigued by Bradshaw and Huff--which means we'll get neither.

                  Smh, you telling me we had a chance to get Tyvon Branch in 2008 but traded the pick to Oakland. That sucks, dude is a stud imo.

                    Was it Partial or Tank who were saying when he was drafted that Huff would be a superstar?

                      Tank, I believe.

                        Tank is a better talent evaluator than Aging Al Davis. If they agree, probably pretty solid.
                        Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                          It seems like mostly our retreads heading over there. They're the Packers 'further' West. Two or three in to the Packers, looks like as many as 10 former Packers have played there in the past decade!

                            If Tank and Al Davis are agreeing. We'll never see Tank on Packerrats again.

                              According to the post, we traded up to 102 and then they leaped over us to 100 to get him. It's not clear if we were targeting him, however.
