Was just watching the highlights from the Texans game this past weekend.
Someone tell me again what TT was thinking when he let him go.

He should have a made a deal before FA...
ONCE fa hit, there was no way most people would pay the money the Texans did...
I agree with T.T. for not giving him what the Texans did, But I think he could have gotten him cheaper if he made a deal before FA... -
He was thinking he'd be happy to pay Ahman for this year and next but didn't want to pay him after that - too much risk. As he began to put together his proposal, Ahman got a mondo offer from Houston and jumped.
That's what he was thinking."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

I have always said TT messed this one up. I don't think they should've paid him 5 million a year, although, why the hell not, the moneys just sitting in the bank anyways. But, if we would've given him a fair deal like 3 million for 3 years before FA, he would've signed it. He deserved it, would've been productive, helped our offense, and ultimately became the all time leading rusher in GB. We screwed him, and he handled it like a gentleman. I admire him for that. He could've ranted about the disloyalty of our organization how the past two years went down. It's bullshit and was handled as badly as the Javon incident. I just think TT's tight white demeanor is unappealing to these athletes. He probably tells them all how "lucky they are" to be a part of this organization instead of humbling himself and letting them feel appreciated and wanted. TT seems to be bad in this area.
By the way, it's bullshit that a nobody is wearing No.30 this year. Give the guy his props and keep that number off the field for a while at least or give it to someone who seems to deserve it. Not some second string nobody. That really ticks me off. I hope Ahman rushes for 1,500 yards this year, and probably will. Although, he may fumble 7 times also."...one thing about me during the course of a game, I get emotional and say things my grandmother lets me know about later.

agreed, he should have (and likely could have) taken care of it before FA... and i think the offer from the texans was ridiculous and i'm glad TT didn't offer something like that...
but i'd feel a lot better about this week's game with green in the backfieldComment

I agree; when FA did hit Ahman Green I think Texans overpaid but Green could be good for a few more years.Originally posted by packers11PackerRats Thompson D. Yahoo Fantasy Football Champ 2019,

The Pack had a load of money. I really can't say I 100% disagree with the decision. Green is clearly at an age where he is declining. With the available cap space I'm thinking they could have kept him if they wanted to, and overpaid without an issue.Originally posted by mmmdkComment

Yes, he was overpaid, but, if he had not gotten to FA, there is no way he would've assumed he could've gotten that money, and he did want to stay here and become the most prolific runner in GB history. My bet is that if we would've offered him 3+million for two to three years he would've signed instantly. We offered him nothing. We assumed the FA would be thinking an old injured, fumbling RB? No thanks. We forgot Sherman was out there wheeling and dealing. Yes, he's overpaid, but, if we would've paid him the money, it wouldn't have changed a thing here, we are just sitting on his money like idiots. Unless TT has some miraculous spending spree in the near future ... yeah right.Originally posted by mmmdk"...one thing about me during the course of a game, I get emotional and say things my grandmother lets me know about later.

4and12to12and4,
Your statements presume that the Packers could have signed him after the 2006 season and before free agency. We don't really know what kind of conversations they had. Green may have felt like he wanted to test free agency. What would be his incentive to just hurry up and sign a deal. If he thought he was healthy and could be productive, he could have waited for free agency and gone back and signed a 3 for 3 mill if he had no takers. You're assuming he would of taken the lesser deal, and we don't know that. It may have even been offered and he may have passed on it to see what free agency would bring. We just don't know. I wish him well, but that was then, and this is now. I hope someone develops, but moreover, I hope the line gets their act together, because I do think the Packers have some talent at RB, and I want Morency back to add to that depth."Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts." -Daniel Patrick MoynihanComment

He was thinking he'd get Ahman at his price and his price only; after all we only had 13-15,000,000 of cap space to work with. It's debateable as to whether he underestimated Ahman's value in this market; but IMO Fred Taylor's deal must have felt like a kick in his jibs because Ahman was going to get similar money.
TT had plenty of time to get this done and the only way to do that was making it happen "before" free agency. Once Ahman hit free agency we lost him because TT mojo was not going to match the best offer.
Ahman has looked good so far this season. Heads and heels better than anything we have. Looking at the cap now TT could have massively frontloaded a deal similar to Woodsen's into this year without effecting the future much at all.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.
