UPDATE: ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter addressed the possibility of the Packers adding another running back this season in his chat on Friday. As Schefter writes, the options look limited (see below).

The Green Bay Press-Gazette reports that the Green Bay Packers were actively trying to deal for Buffalo Bills running back Marshawn Lynch, before the Bills sent him to the Seattle Seahawks. Perhaps the fourth-round pick the Seahawks gave up was too rich for the Packers' blood.
However, it is logical to think that the Pack might still be looking for a No. 1 back to replace the injured Ryan Grant, which can only lead to one thing: speculation! Matt Vensel of the Baltimore Sun offers some up, mentioning the Baltimore Ravens' Willis McGahee as one option, and DeAngelo Williams of the Carolina Panthers as another.
McGahee has been on and off the trading block since the summer, but might not be the best fit for Green Bay, as the team is looking for more of an every-down back. Williams would certainly be worth looking into if you're the Packers, but Carolina would have to be willing to deal him first. Of course, the Panthers are in rebuilding mode now with Jimmy Clausen in at quarterback, and do have Jonathan Stewart and Mike Goodson at the running back position, so trading Williams for some draft picks could be an appealing option.
We'll see if the Pack continues to search for an answer at RB.
