Green Bay Packers give Ahman Green another look
By Rob Demovsky • [email protected] • October 19, 2009
Back in April, Ahman Green stopped by Lambeau Field to talk to some of his old teammates and to convince the Green Bay Packers to take another look at him.
They did just that on Monday, when Green worked out for his former team.
The 32-year old Green and another seasoned running back, Dominic Rhodes, spent the day at Lambeau Field, according to a source with access to the NFL's internal transaction wire.
Green, who is second on the Packers' career rushing list with 8,162 yards and a four-time Pro Bowl selection, has been out of football since Feb. 10, when the Houston Texans released him. He had been living part time in Green Bay, where he retained the house he lived in during his tenure with the Packers (from 2000-06).
Packers General Manager Ted Thompson let Green leave in free agency after the Texans gave him a four-year, $27 million contract in 2007. Green played in only 14 games over two years with the Texans because of injuries.
Rhodes, 30, has been out of football since the Buffalo Bills released him on April 17. He last played during the 2008 season with the Indianapolis Colts. He split time with Joseph Addai and rushed for 538 yards in 15 games (including four starts).
The Packers appear committed to sticking with starter Ryan Grant even though he's averaging only 3.8 yards per carry this season. But backup Brandon Jackson missed the first four games with an ankle injury, and DeShawn Wynn missed Sunday's game because of a knee injury.
That's downright comedy. Antonio Freeman and BubbaFranks, stay close to your phone.
It's funny how preseason everyone was talking about Forte and Grant, who's better, etc. I know it's early, but right now they both are tied forsucking.
AD>>>>>>>>Kevin Smith > Forte > Grant?
