Team looks into Keyshawn
Reports say Packers interested in receiver

The Green Bay Packers are one of the teams that has some interest in recently released Carolina Panthers receiver Keyshawn Johnson, but whether they're willing to make a stronger play for him than they did Randy Moss remains to be seen.

Buy a link hereAccording 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.

Johnson, 34, was released by the Panthers Monday, after spending the weekend as an ESPN draft analyst, at one point lauding Carolina for its decision to draft Southern California receiver Dwayne Jarrett, whose selection made it possible for Johnson's release. In his only season with the Panthers, Johnson caught 70 passes for 815 yards and four touchdowns, serving as the team's No. 3 receiver.

Johnson's agent, Jerome Stanley, did not return a phone message, but two sources said they thought Johnson would receive a considerable amount of interest around the National Football League despite his age. Johnson played hard for the Panthers, has never been a speed burner so there's no concern he's going to lose it all at once and continues to be productive.

Stanley told ESPN Wednesday that "several teams have expressed interest in Johnson and that he does have offers." However, he declined to identify any of the teams.

Among the teams Johnson and his agent are thought to be concentrating on are the Packers, Seattle, the New York Giants, San Francisco, Tennessee and the New York Jets. Johnson entered the NFL as the No. 1 overall pick of the Jets in 1996, was traded to Tampa Bay for two first-round picks in 2000 and played four years in Tampa Bay, two in Dallas and one in Carolina.

They need to make this happen, especially since Farve is bent out of shape about not getting Moss. The Packers are in a rebuilding stage, and a vet like Keyshawn will only help in the locker room. Either way, he should find a home very soon with training camp getting underway.

At 34 he doesn't have many years left especially at WR. Perhaps Keyshawn and Theismann would make a good couple?

FOr those of you that don't follow the Packers too well, let me enlighten you. Our current receiving corps consists of an old but still solid Donald Driver, an inexperienced and injured Jennings, the complete bust that is Robert Ferguson, Stone Hands Robinson (but only for half the season) and a bunch of rooks and UDFA's, only half of which will make the roster. Keyshawn would be a welcome addition, at least if we intend to win games this year.
