GREEN IS GONE

The Associated Press reported at 8PM Sunday evening that Ahman Green had signed a contract with the Houston Texans. He will be joining his former coach, Mike Sherman, along with former Packer teammates Samkon Gado and Mike Flannagan.

Since 2000 he put the Green in Green Bay as far as the running attack was concerned. He will always be remembered in Titletown because of his position at the top of several catagories in the Packer record books. Green's absence may well put Favre in more "Third and Long" situations, as it did many times when Green was injured. Ahman's departure would surely lend itself to Green Bay trading up in next month's NFL draft in order to obtain a quality running back. One strong possibility would be Adrian Peterson of Oklahoma.

Good luck, Ahman. When you hung on to the ball, you were among the best we ever had.
