Coming off an injury-plagued season in 2005, Ahman Green’s future in Green Bay was in serious doubt. But he convinced new head coach Mike McCarthy that he was determined to be a Packer when he showed up early this offseason to train for 2006. The Packers signed him Sunday to a 1-year deal with a $3 M base salary and up to $2 M in available incentives.
As for Brett Favre’s pending retirement decision, this move would only serve to increase the chances of the quarterback’s return. If the Packers were in full rebuild mode, they would likely cut ties with Green and look for younger prospects at the position.
