Aaron Kampman’s Career May Be Over
Jun 8th
Former Green Bay Packers defensive end Aaron Kampman was released by the Jacksonville Jaguars Thursday, which may end the pass rusher’s NFL career.
Packers Get Fourth-Round Compensatory Pick
Mar 26th
The Green Bay Packers got something for Aaron Kampman after all. The Packers received a fourth-round compensatory pick for losing Kampman in free agency last year. The NFL doles out draft picks for teams who lose more free agents than they sign and everyone knows the Packers don’t sign anyone, so the loss of Kampman, who signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars, landed them a pretty decent draft pick.
Thank You, Al Harris
Nov 23rd
As far as I’m concerned, Al Harris will always be a member of the Green Bay Packers. Although Harris no longer fit into the Packers’ plans, much like Aaron Kampman before him, Harris took the time to make one last gesture for the fans. In Sunday’s Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Harris took out a full-page ad [...]
Sound Familiar? Kampman Tears ACL, Out For Year
Nov 12th
For the second year in a row, former Green Bay Packers and current Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Aaron Kampman tore his ACL and will miss the remainder of the season. Last November, Kampman tore his ACL in the Packers’ victory over the San Francisco 49ers. Yesterday, Kampman tore his ACL in practice. It’s unclear whether [...]
In Case You Missed It: Aaron Kampman Still Has A Little Left
Sep 18th
We had pretty strong suspicions before, but it’s now clear Aaron Kampman was badly miscast as an outside linebacker with the Green Bay Packers. Kampman never took to the move from defensive end and had only 3.5 sacks before going down with a torn ACL in game nine, last season. Kampman signed with the Jacksonville [...]

Ryan Pickett A Defensive End, B.J. Raji The Nose Tackle
May 20th
There were a couple of surprises during the first day of the Green Bay Packers’ OTAs open to the public. Ryan Pickett, who’s played defensive tackle his entire career, was lining up at defensive end with the Packers’ starting defense. Last year’s first-round pick B.J. Raji took Pickett’s place at nose tackle. Whether the move [...]
Packers Made A Mistake Not Trading Kampman
Apr 8th
Back in October 2009 we suggested the Green Bay Packers could be listening to offers for Aaron Kampman. Ultimately, Packers’ general manager Ted Thompson didn’t make a move and he’s given no indication there were any offers for Kampman or, if there were, what those offers might have been. This offseason, Kampman signed with the [...]
Kampman Thanks Packers, Fans
Mar 20th
No one can say Aaron Kampman isn’t a classy guy. Kampman, who signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars early in free agency, took out an ad in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel thanking the Green Bay Packers, fans and the community.

Bears Targeting Kampman, Peppers
Feb 24th
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 [...]
Kampman Could Land in the Division
Feb 12th
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 [...]

Some interesting tidbits have come out about the Green Bay Packers free agent priorities in the past week.

The main reason is Collins will be a [...]
Kampman Likely Done in Green Bay
Jan 13th
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 [...]

Predictions: Packers vs. Lions
Nov 25th
Monty: The Detroit Lions once again demonstrated how bad their defense is in their victory over the Cleveland Browns last week. The Lions allowed Brady Quinn to throw for 304 yards and four touchdowns in that game. Quinn previously had thrown three touchdowns – in his career. In other words, the Green Bay Packers will [...]
