And Green Bay had horrendous blocking on special teams. |
He knows those guys. It's more of a homecoming than you might know. |
He wanted to come back. He's excited. He wants to force them to give him a bigger look on defense. |
He went to Birmingham for rehab and they didn't handle it well. They didn't clear him until the end of training camp. |
He's a thinking player. He's extremely consistent. He never shanks a punt. |
It's a great fit for him. He got an opportunity in Green Bay last year and he stepped up like no other guy did for the Packers. Robert Ferguson didn't step up like Antonio did. The new coaching staff said they liked him and his heart but that he didn't fit into the system that (head coach) Mike McCarthy runs because he's not a taller receiver. |
Marcus would love to come back. He loves the coaches. He thinks they have a great core of players, of which he is one. They have a great future. But our position is he receives fair compensation, especially as he gets more reps on defense. |
We'd have interest in talking to Chicago. It's a great organization with a great coach and bright future. |
