Packers Make Trades
GREEN BAY -- Green Bay Packers running back Ty Montgomery has been traded to the Baltimore Ravens, and safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix to the Washington Redskins. Green Bay officials said they were traded for undisclosed draft picks.
Moving forward, the reputation of Ty Montgomery will include what happened in the final two minutes of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams.
With the Packers trailing 29-27 with 205 on the clock, the Rams kicked off to Montgomery in the end zone. Instead of taking a knee like he was reportedly told to do, he ran it out — fumbling the ball and the game away .
His teammates were clearly upset afterward, as was his head coach. Montgomery didn’t speak to the media.
Coach Mike McCarthy spoke out on Monday afternoon:
