GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -The Green Bay Packers released Koren Robinson on Friday, the latest setback for the veteran wide receiver trying to resurrect his career after serving an NFL suspension and jail time. Not long after Green Bay signed the 6-foot-2, 205-pound Robinson in 2006, the league suspended him for a year for alcohol-related problems. He sought treatment that included attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and taking a drug that would make him sick if he drank alcohol again. When he was reinst |

The Seahawks also signed linebacker Wesley Mallard and claimed quarterback Dalton Bell off waivers from the Green Bay Packers. Mallard, a sixth-round draft pick of the Giants in 2002, has played in 59 NFL games with New York, New England and Tampa Bay. Bell was signed as a free agent with Carolina in 2007, but was released after training camp. He was then signed by the Pac |

The shock of the second round came when Louisville quarterback Brian Brohm went to the Green Bay Packers in the 56th slot. With the retirement of Brett Favre, former first-round pick Aaron Rodgers was tabbed as the heir apparent, but Brohm, one of the most decorated passers in Big East conference history, gives the Packers a young insurance policy.

| NY (Best E Casino) - The New York Jets signed veteran tight end Bubba Franks on Monday. According to an earlier report in the New York Daily News, the deal was for one-year, $1.65 million. Franks, who spent his first eight years in the NFL with the Green Bay Packers, was one of Brett Favre's favorite red zone targets his first few years with the Pack. Injuries and the emergence of Donald Lee have lowered Franks' productivity in recent years, as he finished last season with a career-low 18 catches for 132 yards |
