Packer Thug Dies

Back in the 1980s, the Green Bay Packers were dreadful, full of has-beens and never-could-bes and lead by coaches who played under Vince Lombardi. An especially lousy time was the Forrest Greg era. His teams were happy to end up 8-8. But what really marked Greg's teams was all the thugs on them. Mossy Cade was convicted of rape while James Lofton was acquitted. On the field, who could forget Charles Martin bodyslamming Jim McMahon into the turf.

I bring these bad Packers memories up because Charles Martin died from kidney disease. He was 46.

I have a question. We have a jersey of Mossy Cade from when he played in green bay. We picked it up at a rummage sale and had no idea who he was. Can you tell us what is going on with this man now and is this worth anything? We cannot seem to find too much on the internet on him.
