Packers Released Vince Young Because of Financial Issues

Many of you probably don’t remember, but Texas Longhorns legend and former Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young once had a cup of coffee with the Green Bay Packers.

Young was the No. 3 pick in the 2006 draft, the 2006 offensive rookie of the year, the 2009 comeback player of the year and a two-time Pro Bowler. Despite those honors, things went awry for Young after getting injured during the 2010 season. He spent 2011 as a backup with the Philadelphia Eagles’ “Dream Team,” a nickname he coined.

In 2012, Young failed to make the Buffalo Bills.
