Would You Take Keyshawn Instead?
I know there’s a fair number of Packer fans disappointed that Green Bay was unsuccessful in trading Oakland for the services of Randy Moss, but maybe the sun has peek from behind that cloud. The Carolina Panthers released Keyshawn Johnson today after drafting Dwayne Jerrett out of USC over the weekend.
Now I don’t want to start any wild panic or get ahead of myself, but this might be an interesting twist to the whole draft. It appears that Keyshawn still wants to play, and I’m betting he’d like to play for a quarterback a notch better than Jake Delome. He was fairly productive last year (815 yards, four touchdowns) and might not demand a whole lot since he’s said he only wants to play another two seasons. And those Give Me the Damn Ball Days seem to be behind him.
I wonder if Ted Thompson is taking any long distance calls from Mississippi right about now.

I’d certainly like to see the Packers sign Keyshawn. He didn’t seem old last year, is a solid receiver and an above average blocker to boot. I don’t know how many game changing plays he has in him but he has always been the guy to get 6 yards when you need 5. I’ll take him. The only question is, now that he’s near the ened of his career, does he want to hope that the Packers are ready for a playoff run. I could see him signing with the Saints or possibly the Chargers for one last run for a ring. I wouldn’t blame him.

I’d snap him up in a minute if he were available at a reasonable price….he’s experienced, he can (and WILL) go over the middle, he’s a BIG red zone target and he blocks downfield. He’s not made a lot of trouble in the pst few years and even when he did it was nothing like a certain inbred hillbilly from West virginia did almost daily…
