Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel mentions that the Green Bay Packers have told RB Ryan Grant “they have an interest in bringing him back.†The Packers haven’t shown a lot of interest in retaining Grant up until this point, but they’ve yet to address the running back position so far, which leaves the door open for a possible return. Grant visited with the Patriots yesterday, but they also brought in a number of other veteran backs like Tim Hightower and Joseph Addai. Ted Thompson shown a lot of loyalty to his guys in recent years, which was evident by the large deal he gave to A.J. Hawk last year when he probably wouldn’t have secured a contract anywhere near that on the open market. The Packers have plenty of draft picks to work with this year, so there’s still a good chance that they could end up drafting someone in the coming days. Source: NFL Trade Rumors
a lot of these older veterans are finding that their worth isn't what they thought it was on the open market. if the packers are offering something in the neighborhood of what any other team would give him, he might as well stay.
