He reunited with Mike Sherman today.

Now Sherman has most of his old backfield. With Gado and Vonta Leech already there.

I'm happy Green finally got his big payday he always wanted. But I'm also happy we weren't the ones giving it to him. RB's like him who never shy away from the big hits, don't seem to have a long career. I didn't think Green looked very quick last year coming off the injury. And guys like that can hit the wall real fast, like Eddie George did.

I'd consider this a gain rather than a lost in this situation :)

Bon voyage Ahman Green :loser

Green is getting to the point of age where an r.b starts to lose his luster, he can play in the backfield behind Walle Lundy.

I care. He played hard for the Packers and was one of the best running backs we've ever had and he's a good guy. Plus he loves Mustangs. He certainly didn't "suck ass".

He probably has lost a step and is on the decline, but he was responsible for a lot of great games and big wins and will be missed. But it does not mean it will turn out to be a bad thing for GB.

I hope he does well down there in Texas.

I think he was good a few years back, but the fumbling was always a problem with him. They made the right move in getting rid of him for sure. He will still play, but not to the level he did in his prime here.

Yea, the fumbling was something else Wayne, you're right.
They didn't really "get rid of him" inasmuch as he found a team that was willing to pay him the kind of money he wanted. I think it would have been crazy for us to pay him that kind of money. Plus Sherman had a history of paying to much to older players when he was here. Looks like that has not changed.

Marshawn Lynch. Pick 16. :D

No doubt, he had some great years in GB. I liked Ahman alot and hope he has a few more good years. I just think we can do better than him at running back and for less then he wanted.

I would have liked to have seen them keep AG, but not at $5+ million per yr. Best of luck to him. I'm sure they will find someone to replace him.

He had so many big game fumbles back when the packers were a contender, it pretty much cancels out the good for me. See ya!

Man I thought I was hard on the guy. Some of you guys make him seem like he was Brent Fullwood. The guy was a helluva back and was top 4 RB in the NFL for a couple years.

I think he lost a step with his injuries and would have only resigned him at like 2-3 mil. But before saying good riddance, we might want to find a RB to take his spot. Cause the 2 guys backing him up are nothing but backups.
