Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers had the top selling jersey in the NFL from April 1 to July 31, according to the league. Green Bay linebacker Clay Matthews and Pittsburgh safety Troy Polamalu followed Rodgers in the top three. Tim Tebow, who had the highest-selling jersey prior to the 2010 season, was ranked eighth.

Packers running back Ryan Grant, now in the last year of his contract, is at peace with the pay reduction he agreed to recently. Grant was paid $14.6 million over the first three years of his deal and he was initially scheduled to make $5.5 million this season. Green Bay proposed that Grant, who is coming off a broken ankle suffered in Week 1 of the 2010 season, take a $1 million pay cut in exchange for guaranteeing a $2.5 million in base salary in 2011. "Nobody wants to lose any money, but at the same time you have to look at the situation," Grant said. "I'm not the first person to (take a pay cut), I won't be the last person to do it. We'll see how it pans out. The fact that it's guaranteed makes you feel good they're willing to do that as an organization." With roster bonuses included, Grant can make up to $4.5 million this season.

Packers running back Ryan Grant has agreed to take a $1 million pay cut in order to make his contract guaranteed. Grant, who faced the possibility of being released, increases his chances of making Green Bay's roster with the move. He is owed $2.5 million and if the Packers decided to cut him before Week 1, they'd still owe him the entire sum.

There's good news for the 81,000 fans on the waiting list for Packers season tickets. The team plans to add about 6,600 new seats at Lambeau Field. And the team says it will fund the $130M project itself. The seats will be ready for the 2013 season. The project will also include construction of a rooftop viewing terrace that club-seat holders can use on game days.

Ryan Grant may not make the final roster of the Green Bay Packers with him being outplayed by Dimitri Nance. Green Bay also has James Starks, Alex Green and John Kuhn. Grant spent 19 games on injured reserve with a damaged ankle. "We're trying to get Ryan and James - and, now Alex is back - we're trying to get those guys a certain number of carries each game," coach Mike McCarthy said. "I definitely would like to start off getting Ryan going this week."

The Packers continued to practice their no-huddle offense on Monday. The team has scored touchdown on each of its no-huddle drives in preseason games.

New quarterback Kevin Kolb says he is finally comfortable with the Cardinals' offense and looks forward to putting his newfound knowledge to a stern test when the team travels to face the NFL champion Packers. "Besides the game-planning part of it, we're pretty much done with the core install of the offense now and I understand it all and feel comfortable with it," he said before the week's final practice on Wednesday. "Now it's just a matter of going out there and getting enough reps, and that's vital."

Bishop tweeted about his disappoint while his teammates were honored by President Barack Obama. "Just found some extra motivation tweeples.

The defending Super Bowl champion Packers visited the White House on Friday as President Barack Obama honored them for their February triumph. "I'm just gonna come out and say it," said Obama, a die-hard Bears fan. "This hurts a little bit. This is a hard thing for a Bears fan to do. It doesn't hurt as much as the NFC championship game hurt, but it still hurts." The President praised the team for overcoming a slew of injuries throughout the season as they marched toward their fourth Super Bowl victory.
