[QUOTE="Bobby Roberts, post: 136307, member: 260"] You missed option #7: go ahead without Green and don't rely on a draft pick. In this one, Morency, Herron and Beach would be the main guys coming in to compete with a couple draft picks and undrafted FA RBs. The ZBS that we're using, as used by Denver, doesn't require a high priced RB. Denver has proven time and again that they can insert almost any RB and be successful. Herron proved that he can carry the load by getting over 100 yards in the one game he started. Morency proved he's a good change of pace back. Beach has demonstrated solid potential. That's a solid set of RBs to fall back on should Green's price get out of hand. The problem with GB's running game in 2006 wasn't the RB, it was the OL. As the OL improved, so did the running game -- no matter who was in the backfield. If the OL comes together, then our running game will be just fine without Green. If the OL doesn't come together, then it won't help us to have Green. It's most costly to franchise Green because you're paying $7 million for only 1 year. With a $4 million/year deal, Green can be cut after the 2007 season and end up only costing GB $4 million -- a $3 million savings for the season. Plus if Green does well, then we don't have to worry about signing him next season. I like Green and I would love to have him back this year, but I don't think that the franchise or transition tags are good options for him. The best approach is exactly what's being done IMO. GO PACK GO!!! [/QUOTE]
