Green Bay Packers WR Donald Driver's agent said his client wants to play at least two more seasons. Whether or not that is with the Packers likely depends on if he takes a salary cut to remain with the team. "As far as the financial part, that's between (general manager Ted Thompson) and us," head coach Mike McCarthy said. "We all like Donald Driver. I really like the way Donald played at the end. I think Donald's second half of the year went better than the first half of the year once he got comfortable with his role."

Green Bay Packers WRs Chastin West, Diondre Borel and Tori Gurley have looked good during training camp and during the preseason, but the Packers could have trouble keeping them all. The team usually carries five receivers on their roster, and it appears WRs Greg Jennings, James Jones, Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb and Donald Driver are a pretty safe lock to make the team's final roster. They could opt to keep six receivers this year, but they would have to sacrifice depth at another position.

Green Bay Packers WR Donald Driver (knee/ankle) spent two months in a walking boot this offseason after suffering an injury in the Super Bowl.

Driver, 36, started to slow down last year for the first time, and his playing time also started to dwindle. He played more snaps (803), including the playoffs, than backup WRs Jordy Nelson (701) and James Jones (649), but both of them had more receiving yards than Driver did. Driver's yards after the catch also dropped to 3.06 last season, which was the lowest amongst the Packers receivers. In the last three seasons, he has dropped 25 passes compared to 14 in the three years before that.

When training camp begins, Driver, who is still happy to do the dirty work and go over the middle, is going to have to prove himself once again. Head coach Mike McCarthy said earlier this year that he believes Driver has a lot left in the tank, but offensive coordinator Joe Philbin said Driver, like everyone else, is going to have prove how ready he is for 2011. "We haven't slotted 50 balls to go his way, or 75, or 25. We'll see," Philbin said.

Green Bay Packers WR Donald Driver said the team still has not organized large-scale player workouts during the lockout. "Maybe it's been beneficial to (other teams). We haven't done it, but one thing about our team is we know exactly what stands in front of us and that's trying to come back and start a season where we can repeat once again," Driver said. However, several of the players have been working out individually.
