Chris Brown is a running back. True.
Brown, 25, lost his starting job with Tennessee early last season, but with several of the top free-agent running backs signed by other teams, he’s one of the next tier of halfbacks still on the market. Brown was flying to Buffalo on Tuesday night for a visit with the Bills on Wednesday, and his agent, Wynn Silberman, said Tennessee remains interested in signing him, as are the Houston Texans, even after signing Ahman Green this week.
The Packers haven’t set up a visit with Brown and don’t appear to be rushing to sign a running back after losing Green, but they have been in contact with Silberman.
“At this point, I’d say (the Packers have) a sincere interest,” Silberman said. “It looks like they’re sitting back waiting to see what the market is gauging, but it’s starting to pick up with a couple guys falling into place.”
