Aaron Kampman is now a former member of the Green Bay Packers after agreeing to a contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars early Sunday morning, according to Jacksonville.com.
Length and terms of the contract haven’t been announced, but Kampman, who is returning from reconstructive knee surgery, likely received a similar deal to the four-year, $26 million contract [...]

We May Be Short Changing Aaron Kampman

Aaron Kampman

On the eve of free agency the Green Bay Packers face one of their toughest decisions on the future of defensive end/outside linebacker Aaron Kampman.
The Packers have publicly stated that they want to resign Kampman, but they will have competition for his services.
A week ago, it would have been fine with us if Kampman signed [...]

Green Bay Packers Combine Wrap Up: Aaron Kampman Edition

O

The NFL scouting combine is over will end on Tuesday. Much to my chagrin, I thought it ended yesterday.
So, we’ll give you this hot beef injection of Green Bay Packers’ combine-related news 2010! from the weekend.
Let’s start with Bruce Campbell, the left tackle prospect from Maryland who blew the field away in several drills over [...]

Bears Targeting Kampman, Peppers

Aaron Kampman

The Chicago Bears needs a defensive end, that’s been established.
Adewale Ogunleye is an unrestricted free agent and isn’t expected to be re-signed. Further, Gaines Adams, who the Bears traded a second-round draft choice for during the 2009 season, died in the offseason. Even with both of those guys, the Bears defensive line managed only 24 [...]

Kampman Could Land in the Division

Aaron Kampman

The Green Bay Packers’ Aaron Kampman is a free agent and we’ve speculated on several occasions why he’s unlikely to be back with the team for the 2010 season.
Chief among those reasons is Kampman didn’t fare well converting from a 4-3 defensive end to a 3-4 outside linebacker. For that reason alone, Kampman is likely [...]

Kampman Likely Done in Green Bay

Aaron Kampman

When the Green Bay Packers cleaned out their lockers this week, several members of the team may have done so for the last time. Long-time starters Chad Clifton, Mark Tauscher, Ryan Pickett and Aaron Kampman are all unrestricted free agents.
The Packers will likely make moves to replace Clifton and Tauscher, and would be wise to [...]

Harris, Kampman Done For the Year

Harris inury

As we mentioned yesterday, the Green Bay Packers win over the San Francisco 49ers likely came at a cost. The cost is, unfortunately, higher than anyone had planned for, as both outside linebacker Aaron Kampman and cornerback Al Harris will be lost for the season with torn ACLs.
While the Packers will be down two starters, [...]

Was Kampman’s Absence Good For Packers?

Aaron Kampman

The Green Bay Packers played their best defensive game of the season on Sunday without Aaron Kampman. I know it will probably be considered heresy to even suggest, but you have to wonder if the Packers defense isn’t better without Kampman.
Consider these known truths.

Kampman, who sat out Sunday’s game with a concussion, has struggled in [...]

Packers Trade Chatter Gets Louder as Deadline Approaches

The chatter is getting louder with the NFL trade deadline looming tomorrow and the Green Bay Packers are part of it. Whether that results in any deals remains to be seen – Packers GM Ted Thompson isn’t known for his splashy moves – but there are some things to keep an eye on.
The Journal Sentinel’s [...]

Aaron Kampman is Potential Trade Bait

With the NFL trade deadline around the corner (October 20), it seems to be increasingly apparent that the Green Bay Packers are willing to listen to offers for, or may even be shopping, outside linebacker Aaron Kampman.
Before you fly off the handle, this move would make sense for the Packers in a number of ways.
First, [...]

Green Bay Packers: 5 Reasons for Excitement

Hi. Im here to save Mike McCarthys job.

With training camp beginning at the end of the month, I am starting to get excited for the upcoming Green Bay Packers season.
Since we’re in the down time between the Packers mini-camp and training camp, I figured now is as good a time as any to get you excited too.
There are some very good reasons [...]

Positional Notes: Kampman, Barbre and Raji Looking for a Fit

We know more about this year’s version of Green Bay Packers now that the team’s first mini-camp has concluded.
It has been well documented that former Packers defensive end turned outside linebacker Aaron Kampman has been a bit uneasy about the position change this offseason. First, he wouldn’t even discuss it. When he finally did talk [...]

Driver Happy, Kampman Speaks, Bears Still Suck

Reblog this post [with Zemanta]

Today’s word on your Green Bay Packers is just that.
Wide reciever Donald Driver has shown up at the Packers OTAs and was on the practice field for the first time yesterday. Driver admitted that he is in contract discussions with the Packers, but that his absence has been due to non-football-related matters, specifically, a relative [...]

The Packers Linebacker Brouhaha

Yeah, I said it. What are you going to do about it?

Yeah, I said it. What are you going to do about it? From DayLife.com

Much is being made of the Green Bay Packers linebacker situation this offseason season.
The transition to the 3-4 defense of Dom Capers has forced several Packers’ players to make position changes, and it has left the two outside linebacker spots up for [...]

Driver Pissed. Kampman Silent. Tramon Rich. Harrell Healthy?

Gettin

Gettin’ paid, bitch! From NewsDay.com

All of this came out on the first day of the Green Bay Packers OTAs, which, for the uninitiated stands for organized team activities. OTAs are basically a way for coaches to get the team together and start practice before the NFL officially allows them to start practice.
OTAs are not mandatory, [...]

Kampman to OLB

Coach Mike “Smartest Guy in the Room” McCarthy confirmed (sort of) that Aaron Kampman will be moving from defensive end to outside linebacker in new defensive coordinator Dom Capers 3-4 defense, today.
“Well, it depends on what personnel we have on the field. When we line up in the first base defense, yeah, Aaron will be [...]

Vikings vs. Packers: Who Sucked and Who Didn’t (guess which list is longer…)

Nick Barnett has been lost for the season.

 
Every week the Packers are starting to look more and more like a team that simply won’t live up to the expectations. Yesterday, the Packers lost yet another close game to an inferior opponent.
The Packers should be better than this. Maybe it’s time to accept that they just aren’t very good and likely won’t be [...]

Seahawks Game: Quick Notes

Jennings on the move. From jsonline.com

I’d be a lot more excited about this game if I didn’t already know that Seattle is truly an awful team this year. But as they say in Cliche Town, “A win is a win.”
THE GOOD 

Aaron Rodgers is still playing well. On top of that, his shoulder is still causing him considerable pain. There’s no [...]
