Allen Rossum was released today by San Fran. to make roster room for Michael Crabtree.
Rossum was a high impact return man for the Packers 8-9 years ago and is the NFL's second all time return yardage man.
With Will Blackmon lost for the season he might be a good addition. He would bring the benefits of experience to the Packers' return game and would allow the team to reduce the risk of injury as a returner to receiver Jordy Nelson.
Rossum, like Blackmon, can also play in the secondary as a back-up.
Rossum was averaging 21.7 yds. on kick returns and 7.0 on punts for the 49ers this season. But he was 26.8 on kick rets. in '08 and 14.9 on punts last year so he may still have some gas in his 33 year old tank.
Pick up the phone and talk to him, Ted Thompson.
