Packers to trade Ferguson

[jaybird2001wi]

On jsonline.com's newswatch, there are reports that the Packers will trade Ferguson tomorrow. He may have been injure prone, but who will be their third wide receiver? James Jones? Carlyle Holiday? This is why Favre has gone psycho.

 

Here is jsonline.com's report:

The Green Bay Packers are interested in trading Robert Ferguson and have asked the veteran wide receiver not to practice. The Packers expect to have a resolution on the matter tomorrow morning.

"Robert will no longer be a Packer," said Packers head coach Mike McCarthy. "We're going to go in another direction. We're moving on with the other guys and that's where it stands right now."

Ferguson, a second-round draft pick of the Packers in 2001, has had a history of injuries during his six-year career. He's started 26 of the 60 regular-season games he's appeared in, including a single start last season.

 

This summer, Ferguson has had a mediocre training camp and has been outshined on special teams by fellow wide receiver Carlyle Holiday.

The only thing Robert Ferguson adds to a football team is special teams ability. Third receiver? You're darn right James Jones. Brett Favre might be unhappy with the weapons not added this off season but he's for sure not upset with Robert Ferguson being gone a year too late...sorry, but this has been expected.

What do they expect to receive? Mike Sherman take some Packer stationary with him and they want it back?

I smell conditional 7th round draft choice.

I smell conditional 7th round draft choice.

 

I smell a flat out release

I bet he's released...especially since they announced they don't want him. Why is he wearing 87 this year? I'm assuming it was his choice to switch it to Martin's old number?

Good riddance to another wasted draft pick. Just think about what the last few years would have been like with Chambers as opposed to Fergie. Wow.

He's healthy so far for the first time. I wish they would keep him. Could be a nice 4th receiver behind Driver, Jennings and Jones. Anyone know if and when Koren Robinson can play for us?

[JJHardy7]

I think Koren can play in September and last I heard he wants to play and the Packers want him to.
