When Oakland offered Super Bowl MVP Desmond Howard $1.5 million for this season, Green Bay let him walk. His replacement: speedy Qadry Ismail, who had 22 catches and averaged a mediocre 18.8 yards on kickoff returns for Minnesota in 1996. "My goal is to be a receiver-return man," says Ismail, who will vie with Don Beebe and Derrick Mayes for time behind Antonio Freeman and Robert Brooks. "There are some fine receivers [in Green Bay]," Ismail said, "but I didn't come here to twiddle my thumbs on the sidelines."
