The Packers restructured receiver Donald Driver’s contract, which includs a $11 million raise. He’ll now make roughly $5.75 million per season and won’t be a free agent until 2010.
I’ve long thought that Driver is one of the most underrated receivers in the NFL, one of the few that does his job, doesn’t complain and certainly isn’t afraid to sacrifice his body to make the tough catch. He is 32 and has some injury concerns, but it’s nice to see Green Bay take care of a player who has worked hard for them over the years.
