Unsubstantiated Keyshawn rumor

From WBAY.com:

The Green Bay Packers' seemingly tepid interest in free agent receiver Keyshawn Johnson will apparently be rebuked.

According to a Sports Illustrated report, Johnson has narrowed his choices to the Tennessee Titans, Oakland Raiders, or retirement, which also means a career in TV.

The report also says Johnson is reluctant to play in Green Bay, and if the money is not right he will walk away from the game.

Johnson, 34, has averaged 70 catches the last three seasons. He thinks he can play two or three more seasons -- but apparently not in Green Bay.

I can't find any source from SI to back this up. Not a huge surprise if he or they aren't really interested in each other, but I'll hold off on believing this until it receives more substantial backing than a Fox affiliate. (Thanks to Crackpot Joe for the tip.)

Hey Crackpot Joe,

Since Keyshawn is willing to go to the Raiders and totally bypass the Packers, something doesn't smell right. What's going on here, Joe?

Personally I think its a culinary issue. Oakland is a big seafood town, and lets face, not many people these days are eating perch caught in Lake Michigan. I think its just those crazy folks up in Port who still eat the Aliwives ( http://www.portfishday.com/ )

What's it take to get Keyshawn in Titletown?

I think it's a weather/town issue. I think he also might have kids on the west coast?
