So, the Packers were interested in Reggie Wayne. Unless they weren’t.
In another case of ESPN-on-ESPN crime, Josina Anderson reports that wide receiver Reggie Wayne “considered waiting for the Packers, but the team did not confirm interest” before he signed with the Patriots.
This came hours after colleague Dianna Marie Russini reported the Packers were going to call about the veteran wideout, considering starting receiver Jordy Nelson tore his ACL this weekend.
Wayne, of course, signed with the Patriots. Which means the initial report of Packers interest was likely little more than a last-ditch attempt by a source close to Wayne to get a little something extra out of New England.
