Driver: Bears Don't Have A Receiver

Jul 22, 2014 9:25 AM

Donald Driver isn't impressed with the Bears' receiving corps. "They don't have a receiver," Driver said on the "Waddle & Silvy" show on ESPN 1000. "They don't have any true receivers that step up and play and take their team to where they want to go." Strangely enough, Driver has a relationship with Chicago's Devin Hester. "I love Devin, and Devin knows that, but Devin plays [defensive back]. I don't think he's just a solid receiver right now. He may become one as years go on, but it doesn't happen overnight," Driver added.

The Packers have signed T.J. Lang, a fourth-round draft choice out of Eastern Michigan. Lang, a guard/tackle, started every game in his final three seasons in college.

"Athletically, there's days I thought he was a tackle, there's days I think he's a guard. So that tells you about where his flexibility is physically. "Very happy with him."

Packers' Poppinga Becomes A High-Priced Reserve

Oct 12, 2014 2:38 PM

As of now, the Packers will pay linebacker Brady Poppinga $1.9 million this season to be a reserve. A year after he signed a four-year, $13.4 million contract extension, Poppinga will head into training camp as a clear-cut backup. Poppinga is behind Aaron Kampman, Jeremy Thompson and Clay Matthews on Green Bay's depth chart. "That's something you'd have to ask the front office," Poppinga said during last week's mandatory minicamp when asked whether his salary could make him expendable. "I don't know how they budget things out."
