No one can say Aaron Kampman isn’t a classy guy.

We May Be Short Changing 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.

Green Bay Packers Combine Wrap Up: Aaron Kampman Edition

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 24 [...]
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 likely [...]
Packers Top Free Agent Priority: Ryan Pickett
Feb 3rd
Some interesting tidbits have come out about the Green Bay Packers free agent priorities in the past week. Although he’s clearly their top player without a contract for the 2010 season, safety Nick Collins is not at the top of the Packers’ list of players to resign.
The main reason is Collins will be a restricted [...]
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 to [...]
Ranking the Green Bay Packers’ Free Agents
Dec 15th
The Green Bay Packers have 18 players in their contract year after Monday’s resigning of linebacker Brandon Chillar. However, the situation isn’t as dire as it may look.

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 have [...]
Harris, Kampman Done For the Year
Nov 23rd
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, [...]
Packers Getting Healthy, Stronger
Nov 17th
The Green Bay Packers will enter this week’s game with the San Francisco 49ers the healthiest they’ve been since early in the season.
The team was buoyed this past week by the return of receiver Jordy Nelson, who had been out since week four. Expected to return from injury this week are linebackers Aaron Kampman and [...]
Was Kampman’s Absence Good For Packers?
Nov 16th
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 Defense Shows Up Just in Time
Nov 15th
The Green Bay Packers defense that has largely been absent since the team’s last win – over the Cleveland Browns – essentially saved the Packers season in Sunday’s 17-7 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
That unit everyone remembers from the preseason and dominating wins over the lowly Detroit Lions and Browns was back in full effect, [...]

Did Packers Get Right Defensive Coordinator?
Nov 10th
When the Green Bay Packers fired defensive coordinator Bob Sanders in January, coach Mike McCarthy interviewed Gregg Williams, then the former Jacksonville Jaguars defensive coordinator, and Mike Nolan, then the former San Francisco 49ers coach.
Williams’ story is well documented. He had interviewed with New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton prior to visiting Green Bay. Payton [...]
Five Reasons the Packers Will Beat the Vikings
Oct 28th
The Green Bay Packers are three-point favorites going into their contest with the Minnesota Vikings this weekend. Since the Packers are playing in Lambeau Field, that line simply means that the oddsmakers feel these two teams are evenly matched.
Still, this season’s history says the Vikings are the better team. The Vikings are 6-1 to the [...]

Oct 19th
Green Bay Packers outside linebacker Clay Matthews made his first NFL start on Sunday against the Detroit Lions, and boy, what a start it was.
