Kuhn Re-signed

[Striker]

Kuhn is back.


FB John Kuhn has signed a one-year, $850,000 deal to return to the Green Bay Packers, his agent said Monday.

[Pugger]

So besides Flynn who else from season is still unsigned?

[MadScientist]

Shouldn't this be titled 'Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnn re-signs'?

Minimum deal, so no problems if they find someone better. Not like a fullback has many options these days.

It's nice to have a back who knows how to get a yard instead of dancing around like Lacy

sweet jesus...

So just Bush left on the street. I wonder if he comes back? I assume if he does it will be for the same $850K.

The best of them won't come for money, they'll come for me!

Ugh why?

ditto

Cobb's too expensive to run the fullback dive.

[red]

well kuhns not talented enough to run it

[gbgary]

he does his kuhn-like stuff pretty well...just hope they stop trying to get him to do the unkuhn-like stuff.

[pittstang5]

Meh

Cool he's back I guess. Do they have anyone in the wings waiting. Maybe they pick someone up late, very late in the draft or a undrafted FA.

[smuggler]

A couple worth guys in the 5th-6th rounds. I like Tyler Varga a lot. I think he's good to go on blitz pickups, which makes his speed and receiving just gravy. Then there's Jalston Fowler, a more in-line thunderhead blocker.

[Tony Oday]

Are Kuhn and AR good friends or something?

Yes. Aaron is very friendly with RB's who are good in pass pro.

[smuggler]

Kuhn fishes was ARod captures the score and makes the music video.

[Striker]

He's cheap and good at his job. If someone beats him out, he goes and without much risk to the team.

This is far more exciting than Kuhn's re-signing.

[pbmax]

Veteran leadership, taken to the extreme:

Have to factor in Kuhn's leadership. He's the leader of the team, moreso than Rodgers

Kuhn has been a pro longer. He signed on April 29, 2005 well before Rodgers got his contract done. He is also older, therefore wiser, in fan and pundit terms.

[mraynrand]

Kuhn is leading from behind

Take it to FYI.

Kuhn's super-cheap. Packers get vet cap credit of $600,000 for signing him so he only costs $129,000 against the cap. Not sure if there's a cap on the credits but perhaps Bush would come with a credit too?

Edit: I can't verify this which was posted elsewhere claiming Silversteing tweeted it. I can't find the original tweet so he may have deleted it if its inaccurate.

Need 2 yards, run the FB dive and get 1 then punt. YAY!

This sounds a lot like that coffee promotion from 7/11 years ago: "If it's not fresh, you get it free!"

According to Spotrac, Kuhn's contract is for the vet minimum with his years of service (9 yrs. - $870,000) and the Packers do get a "minimum veteran salary benefit" which was written into the new CBA to disincentivise teams to sign younger, cheaper players.

The rule allows them to credit their cap hit down to the minimum 2nd year salary, which is $610,000.

Silverstein's original does sound a lot better.
