Packers Prefer Alex Green Over Trade Options

Packers’ beat writer Tom Silverstein writes that Alex Green will remain the team’s starting running back, despite his recent struggles.

Green Bay has consistently been linked to a number of trade options including Steven Jackson and DeAngelo Williams, but Silverstein adds that GM Ted Thompson prefers to maintain his cap space, so that he can address some of their big name players like Aaron Rodgers, Clay Matthews and B.J. Raji.

Cedric Benson mentioned that his foot injury is improving, so it’s not as though they would have to rely on Green and James Starks for the remainder of the season.
