I was roundly booed by all when I *suggested* the Packers franchise Green for this year, keeping his services. Then draft a back to learn the system and spell him this year. In 2008 you cut Green loose and you have it set. "Too much money" was the yell. Check the numbers Green signed for in Texas vs. the franchise numbers. Pretty close. Lets see. What are the Packers options now? They can go to the free agent pool with an even older C. Dillon, J. Lewis who will want huge money from dwindling production, etc. Notice no one jumped on these folks in the first few days? Hmmmmmm? So you tell a productive player in your offense to go to hell, the only significant free agent you have. Ahman Green loved Green Bay. He was an All-Pro behind an aging Brett Favre. He could catch the ball. He could block. He could run in mud. So it came down to money and Ted blinked when he could have kept him AND stayed way below the salary cap....by franchising him. Lets hope we get Lynch(absolutely no guarantee there) or maybe find some fourth-rounder as some wags were suggesting over the weekend. Hello? There's a reason people fall to the fourth round. Ted should open an antique store. He seems to like bargains, but for most of us, it appears to be junk.</blockquote>
