The Facts:
The Packers might find their running back of the future in next month's NFL draft, but it doesn't appear the team has ruled out signing a veteran to help fill the void left by Ahman Green. One option could be Barlow, who was cut by the Jets last month after one sub-par season. Barlow's agent, Doug Hendrickson, said Monday he had preliminary talks with the Packers on Friday.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The odds are long Barlow will sign anywhere before the draft, instead waiting to see where the top rookies land. For the record, the Packers have also been in contact with Chris Brown's agent, but no deals sound imminent.
