Just saw this on ESPN, sad indeed. Hope Ahman caught this early and does as well as can be expected.

And, yes, one of, if not THE, dumbest trades ever. If I ever met Mike Holmgren, I'd ask him about that trade and if he'd do it over again. Just an all time face palm of a move.

Was it really THE dumbest trade or the most “what if” trade.
Sure he blossomed in GB, but there is absolutely no guarantee that he would have here.
Mike H. hated fumbles with a passion, and while Green was here that was an issue.

Aside from that, although not directly related to the Green trade we ended up with Alexander.


ETA:
I’m well aware that many fans hate/hated that trade. And absolutely the guy we got didn’t amount to anything of real value.

That's an interesting what if scenario. Is it possible Shaun never gets the chance to shine if we hadn't traded Green? While neither Vinson, nor Booty, ever amounted to anything, one has to wonder if the door would have been closed for Shaun to become the premiere back, and it would have been Green running behind Hutchinson and Jones.

Sad news. Parkinsons SUCKS. I concur with the majority, one of the more head-scratching trades in team history.
