Donald Driver is 37 years old and coming off his least productive season in a decade, but he wants to keep playing and remain with the Packers. The wide receiver will take a pay cut in order to do so. "The organization knows what I've done on and off the field, and they want to keep me around as long as possible," Driver told WISN-TV. "If that means sitting down and taking pay cuts to stay around, then you take pay cuts to stay around. I've always said it's not about the money for me anymore. What I'm pushing for is for my legacy to stay around in the state of Wisconsin and around the world forever. So the money's not a big issue."

The Packers have released Nick Collins, citing concern over whether the safety can safely continue his career after a significant neck injury. Collins hurt his neck while trying to make a tackle in the Green Bay's Sept. 18 victory at Carolina, an injury that ended his season and required surgery. He has not decided whether he will attempt to play for another team.

Brett Favre openly longed about his desire to throw the football to Randy Moss during his tenure with the Packers. That vision came close to reality in 2007, according to ESPN's Andrew Brandt, who served as Green Bay's vice president from 1999 to 2008. Back during the 2007 draft, Moss was being shopped by the Raiders. The Packers wanted him, but the Patriots got him.

The Packers have released veteran left tackle Chad Clifton. Clifton has been Green Bay's primary left tackle since 2000, starting 160 games over 12 seasons with quarterbacks Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers. He started only six games last season because of hamstring and back injuries.

More than three months after Green Bay's playoff loss to New York, Packers linebacker Clay Matthews is still hurting. Matthews said Friday on NBC Sports Talk that he didn't watch the Giants win the Super Bowl. "I didn't catch the Super Bowl at all, simply because I was on a plane at that time," Matthews said. "I don't know if you ever really get over it. I still remember losses from my childhood that you never get over. Fortunately we get to play the Giants again this year and hopefully have a little redemption. But more power to them. They obviously came on at the end of the season. They were a six seed, had to go through everyone's backyard and win and that's exactly what they did - similar to what we did two years ago. So we're just looking forward to getting back out there and hopefully show everyone what we're capable of and that's winning another Super Bowl."

Ryan Grant may soon be known as an ex-Packer. Grant's agent, Alan Herman, said his client has been in contract talks with a team that's not the Packers, though he declined to reveal the organization. Grant, who shared carries last season with James Starks, currently is a free agent.

Nick Collins, who underwent neck fusion surgery last September, is scheduled to talk with the Packers next week about his career. "Nick, (co-agent) Dave Butz and I will travel next week to meet with Packers," agent Alan Herman said. "That is the plan. Decision will be made after that meeting." Herman said Collins "feels and looks terrific" and the surgery he underwent at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City went "extremely well."

Mike McCarthy wants to get Jordy Nelson more involved in the team's offense, even though he was featured in a prominent role last season. "Jordy is a perfect example of a guy who was given more opportunities last year and performed outstanding," McCarthy said. "We'll keep moving him around, probably play him in the slot a little more than he's played in the past. Those are the kind of things we continue to look at, give him more matchups, expand his route tree where he's maybe more of the focus." Nelson, who started just nine games in 2011, led the Packers in several receiving categories, including catches (68), yards (1,263), yards per catch (18.6) and touchdowns (15).
