Couch sent Packing to the Packers

[Queen of Football]

Tim Couch took a huge pay cut to get a fresh start with the Green Bay Packers and serve as the backup quarterback to one of his idols.

Couch, released last week after five stormy seasons with the Cleveland Browns, agreed to terms Monday on a one-year contract to play behind Brett Favre. "I'm excited," Couch said Monday night from his off-season home in Florida. "This is a great opportunity for me to start a new chapter in my career. And, I'm going to a team that has a real chance to win the Super Bowl."

Couch said his contract with Green Bay was for just the 2004 season, but that the Packers have already talked to him about the possibility of extending it. He'll officially sign on Tuesday.

The deal is worth a reported $1.25 million - a steep drop in salary for Couch, who would have made $7.6 million this season and $8 million in 2005 if he stayed with the Browns

This guy may go down as one of the worst draft picks of all time. Whoops, I forgot about Ryan Cryan Leaf, he won those honors in a big way. Where oh Where can he be. What a freak!!! GL

You're being kind using "may go down" instead of "has gone down", Steel.

If there was a plane full of draft busts , Ryan would be seated in Row1 SeatA.
Tony Mandarich would be in SeatB.
