Because of the injuries to the number one (Driver- strained neck) , number two(Ferguson- knee and ankle), and number 4 (Bailey-hamstring) wide receivers in the Vikings game, the Packers are looking for help in the wide receiver position.

The Packers have phoned the representative for Antonio Freeman to show their interest. Currently Freeman is not playing for any team. He rejected off season offerings because he was looking for team that he would get playing time and that had a chance to go deep in the playoffs. During his career with the Packers , he had 417 catches for 6,510 yards with 57 touchdowns. He was definitely one of Brett Favre’s “go-to” guys.

One hurdle in the contract negotiations will be whether the Packers will have some guarantees in the Freeman contract to prevent the Packers from cutting him in a few weeks when Driver and Ferguson get healthy again.

Driver’s release from the hospital has been delayed until today because he vomited last night which is typically associated with a concussion. Packers coach, Mike Sherman mentioned that Driver probably would not play this week against Detroit.
