Which NFL team gave Ahman Green a tryout?”
Green Bay — The Green Bay Packers weren’t willing to offer running back Ahman Green the money he wanted when he became a free agent in 2007, but two years later they might have something for him. Seeking a chance to return to the NFL after a failed relationship with the Houston Texans, Green, 32, worked out for Packers personnel officials Monday morning. Also taking part in the workout was veteran running back Dominic Rhodes, according to a source with access to the NFL’s transaction wire.

Back in April, Ahman Green stopped by Lambeau Field to talk to some of his old teammates and to convince the Green Bay Packers to take another look at him. They did just that on Monday, when Green worked out for his former team. The 32-year old Green and another seasoned running back, Dominic Rhodes, spent the day at Lambeau Field, according to a source with access to the NFL’s internal transaction wire. Green, who is second on the Packers’ career rushing list with 8,162 yards and a four-time Pro Bowl selection, has been out of football since Feb. 10, when the Houston Texans released him. He had been living part time in Green Bay, where he retained the house he lived in during his tenure with the Packers (from 2000-06). Packers General Manager Ted Thompson let Green leave in free agency after the Texans gave him a four-year, $27 million contract in 2007. Green played in only 14 games over two years with the Texans because of injuries. Read more at the link below.
