Halfback Ahman Green is taking a free-agent visit to the Denver Broncos tonight, according to a report in the Denver Post.

The Packers are trying to re-sign Green, who is an unrestricted free agent, and worked well into last night and today as they tried to reach a contract agreement.

However, with free agency opening on Thursday night at 11:01 p.m., Green decided he wanted to test the market to see what his value is and whether the Packers will pay him a comparable contract if it's higher than they've offered already.

The trip does not mean he won't re-sign with the Packers, but it could make his re-signing more difficult.

Denver is looking for a running back after trading starter Tatum Bell to Detroit as part of a deal to acquire cornerback Dre' Bly.

Green is one of the top halfbacks in this year's free-agent market, though his value is diminished somewhat by his age (30) and recent injury history that includes a serious torn quadriceps tendon in 2005.

The Broncos use the same zone-blocking run scheme the Packers used last season.

For the love of God just sign him. He has done alot for this team. Give him his 3 or 4 year deal and make it voidable. Cmon guys.

Careful, now...that almost sounded like a criticism of Ted Thompson.

I would never do that. At least not in public. THEY are listening...

Well, I hate to see him shopping around, but we had to anticipate this would happen. This could be the first of several stops for him, really. I would expect that he'd made a trip to New York too...both the Jets and Giants need a RB pretty badly.

Off to the Re-education camp with the both of ya!!!

Thats the sad part about this business, look at what Joe Horn has meant to the Saints and the state of Louisiana. I just hope that Ahman knows how much he was appreciated while he was here. The contracts he played for were always below market value for his position. I put him in the same regards as Donald Driver when it comes to putting the team first and not asking for a boat load of money.

I am not so sure Denver won't just come over the top like they have reportedly done with Graham and try and lock up Green before anyone else has a chance to make an offer. (I hope I'm wrong) Denver has to replace Tatum Bell and may want a veteran like Green to help out Cutler especially now that it appears Plummer is retiring. I hope Ahman at least gives TT the chance to match any offer before he signs anywhere.

Yeah, I wouldn't be the least surprised if they did that and he signed with them. I can't wait to see the fall out if that happens..lol Plus, I don't know if they even had a relationship, but him and Walker know each other.. could be a factor.

Denver appears to be pretty serious about upgrading this season.

I would think Asthma and Denver would be a bad combination....
