Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy was interviewed Thursday on Sirius NFL radio and was asked what the Packers' interest level was in wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson, who last week was released by the Carolina Panthers.
"Player acquisition is a 12-month process," McCarthy said. "We look at everybody that's available. We have talked about Keyshawn. Extremely productive player throughout his career. Big, physical receiver that, frankly, I'm a fan of and I think fits our system in a way we want to play. But, you know, as far as what's going on there, those are things that are better left unsaid as we move forward. But he's definitely someone that's been very productive."
I'm not sold that they're going to bite on this one. Wasn't it Cliff who questioned the wisdom of bringing in a declining veteran to take time away from developing players? As Chris wrote previously, the Packers are overstuffed with young WRs. Okay, if they get Keyshawn and cut Ferguson I'll be happy, but this doesn't seem to be Thompson's style.
