The one with the best outlook for that might be Kuhn, because Ripkowski is the only FB they have, I think.
They also did it with Tauscher in 2009. If the guys are still FA's, they'll likely be on the Packers' short list to call in case of emergency.
Similar, but Tauscher wasn't brought back until mid-season in 2009. I think we were talking about the opening 53 man roster. TT doesn't often stray much from his training camp roster for that.

I expect that Neal and probably Quarless will find training camps to go to eventually. Doubtful for Kuhn. If GB doesn't re-sign him, I expect he will stay at home until the season starts. The few other teams that want FBs will likely go to camp with younger ones.
