The Packers have announced they have resigned fullback John Kuhn to a 1-year deal. The contract is worth just over $1 million with a base salary of $855,000. Kuhn is certainly one of the most popular players on the Green Bay Packers. The chants of "KUUUUHN" will live on at Lambeau Field!
UPDATE: (03/28/2014)
The Oakland Raiders have signed former Packers defensive end C.J. Wilson. Wilson played the last four seasons with the Packers. Wilson's best season came in 2012 when he record 24 tackles and 2.5 sacks.

UPDATE: (03/17/2014)
ESPN's Adam Schefter and CBSSports.com's Jason La Canfora has reported the Packers have re-signed running back James Starks to a 2-year contract. Starks is coming off a very successful season and a mostly healthy one in fact. Starks was scheduled to meet with the Pittsburgh Steelers tomorrow, but Starks has agreed to return to the Packers. The one-two punch of Eddie Lacy and James Starks is something to be excited about next year.
ESPN's Adam Schefter has reported the Oakland Raiders has signed now former Packers wide receiver James Jones to a 3-year contract worth $11.3 million. Drafted in the third round of the 2007 NFL Draft, Jones had an exceptional career with the Green Bay Packers. Jones' best season was in 2012, when he lead the NFL in receiving touchdowns with 14. James Jones was a true professional. It was a pleasure having him on this team. He will be missed on the field, in the locker room, and off the field.
Good luck #89.
The Packers have signed another free agent from inside the NFC North. Former Minnesota Vikings defensive linemen Letroy Guion and the Packers have agreed on a 1-year contract reportedly worth $730,000 including a $1000,000 signing bonus.

The amazing part about this signing was how unexpected this deal was. It is amazing how the Packers talked to Peppers, brought him to Green Bay, and signed him without anyone saying a word.
Stealth Packers. Only comes from the hands of Ted Thompson.

According to Mike Neal, he has signed a 2-year deal to remain in Green Bay. Neal, an outside linebacker/defensive end, when healthy, has been an effective player on the defensive side of the ball. Neal played in all 16 games last season and was a key contributor to the pass rush. Neal's contract is a 2-year deal for $8 million including a $2.5 million signing bonus.
Hi Green Bay!!! I'll enjoy your winters for two more years!!

The Chicago Bears have signed now former Packers safety M.D. Jennings to a 1-year contract. Jennings' time in Green Bay will best be known for his role in 'FailMary.' With all due respect to Jennings, losing him may improve the Packers defense with the fact that we will have someone else playing next to Morgan Burnett for Week 1. His addition to the Bears defense can only be good news for Aaron Rodgers and the Packers offense.

If the Packers had to rank their free agents to re-sign this offseason, Sam Shields would probably be number one of that list. At 26 and in the prime of his career, Shields has plenty of upside. From an undrafted free agent, to two interceptions in the 2010 NFC Championship game, to a big pay day.
Sooooooo happy to be back with my family #GoPack!!!!!! #turnup

The Packers announced today that Kevin Greene will step down as outside linebackers coach. Greene held the role as the Packers outside linebackers coach for the past five seasons. This will be a tremendous loss for the Packers losing Greene's fire and passion on the sideline. Greene is most famous for his 'It. Is. Time.' quote to Clay Matthews in Super Bowl 45. Greene cited his desire to spend more time with his family. "I am stepping away from the NFL at this time in order to spend more time with my wife, Tara, and our children, Gavin and Gabrielle. I will miss coaching and will try to return after our kids move on to college if a team will have me."
Greene also expressed his extreme gratitude towards the Green Bay Packers, Mike McCarthy, and Ted Thompson. "My experience here with the Green Bay Packers has been nothing but positive. I am eternally grateful for the opportunity that Mike McCarthy and Ted Thompson have blessed me with. I have a peace about the productivity that I helped bring forward in all of the fine young men that have been entrusted to me these past five years. I am most proud of all their accomplishments and the fine young men they've become in this league."
Greene is a finalist for the 2014 class for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
