The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel is reporting the Green Bay Packers are interested in wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson, who was recently cut by the Carolina Panthers.
According to an NFL source with strong connections to Johnson, the Packers are doing their homework on the 11-year veteran and are considering whether he would be a good fit for their team.
“I think their interest is legitimate,” the source said.
A couple of Packer fans that have posted on this site should be pleased with this news. I don’t see how Johnson would hurt the Packers, especially with veterans Brett Favre and Donald Driver on the offense. Johnson could help tutor second year pro Greg Jennings and certainly would be more productive than the injury-prone Robert Ferguson. Although I would stress at 34, Green Bay only sign him for a one, maybe two years.
