Green bay here I come!!!

Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back and All-Pro kick returner Clifton Smith is visiting with the Packers in Green Bay today, according to his agent Jason Lamont Dillard.

Were thinking about it right now, said Dillard.

At this point, no signing is imminent as Smith is mulling offers from other teams. However, Dillard indicated that the timeframe for a decision is today.

Both sides are seeing where theyre at, at this point, said Dillard.

Ironically, Smith was cut from the Buccaneers after Tampa Bay claimed former Green Bay running back Kregg Lumpkin. Smith and rookie offensive tackle Derek Hardman were released to make room for Lumpkin and fellow waiver pick-up center Ted Larson (from New England).

Since coming into the league as an undrafted free agent in 2008, Smith has a career kick return average of 28.3 yards on 67 attempts and 12.1 yards on 46 punt returns.

Same article.. hmmm do we cut him proactively to his signing for his future fumble costing us a game? ;)

But he also has a reputation as a fumbler. The Buccaneers have lost possession of the ball four times on Smiths seven career fumbles coming on both offense and on returns.

fumbleitis makes me nervous, but not having to use tramon (or maybe even jordy) makes me say "pay him a shit load to get him in!"

If people don't remember, here's how he got his concussion problem last season. Tough kid to walk off the field after that collision.

Ouch. Reminds me a bit of Ferguson being clotheslined. Still, we've got plenty of people on this team that are fast and agile but can't catch a punt/kick and know how to fumble a ball. Why sign another one?

Yes, that was a wicked BS shot.. I am all for big hits.. but that one going up top on his head no matter where the ball was in bull.

That and intentional "Allen" knee shots have little place in the game.

Here's his 83-yard-return against the Pack last season.

Man I wish we had a guy who could do that. (Although what Tramon and, I think, Bishop were doing at the end of the run I really don't know).

Don't get your hopes up, guys. Ted and Mike told us we were fine with the players we have. They wouldn't lie to us.
