    Congrats Kamp!!

    Kampman was a great Packer. It's unfortunate the way the whole thing went but reports are, Kampman recieved a deal similar to that of Kyle Vandenbosh.



    Reportedly, the Packers could receive up to a 3rd round pick in compensation for Kampman. Kamp is over 30 but has not played 10 years, so the 5th round max does not apply. It would be nice if it morphed into a 3rd round pick.

        Yes. From ESPN The High School News Source:

        Thomas coached several players who went on to the NFL, including Kampman, Jacksonville Jaguars center Brad Meester, Detroit Lions defensive end Jared DeVries and Denver Broncos center Casey Wiegmann.

          The JS theorized that GB might sign them all.......but I think most of us knew the writing was on the wall.


          FOR THOSE (I was not one of them) would pounded the tables that GB should trade Kampman last year for the most they could get.........KUDOS.....you were right.

          Kampman was nothing but class but deep down he knew he did not belong in our new defensive scheme. There was virtually no chance at all he was returning.

            Thats almost a wash. With the freed up salary and a pick as compensation we're sittin' ok. He was too good not to give him that shot.

              I'm sad to see Kampman go. I loved everything about him as a player and as a person.

              With that said, Jacksonville is getting a great individual. Best of luck to him.


              On another note - anyone else a little relieved that he went to Jacksonville and not the Bears, Lions, Vikings or another NFC team for that matter.
              (Yes, I know he probably couldn't sign withthe Vikings anyway).

                Not sad to see him go since he struggled in the 3-4 but sucks we didn't get anything for him. TT should have traded him last season IMO.

                  We'll probably get a 2011 compensatory, assuming there is a 2011 draft. Could be a third.

                    Hindsight is 20/20. Was anyone sure Brad Jones could play? And why doubt the best performer on your team could adjust?

                      In the trade scenario, so Kampman goes somewhere else - somewhere with a 4-3 - and plays like he typically does. Thompson gets what, maybe a third? Possibly a second?

                      Then people bitch that Thompson trades his most talented players...I see that one as a near no-win for the Packers. They tried to be positive about the switch, there was some reason to be, since Kamp was a linebacker long ago. But it didn't work well, he got hurt, and now he's gone. Sometimes stuff just happens. Let's hope he plays lights out for Jac so GB gets a good pick next year.

                        I'm still not sure how good Brad Jones is; he started out strong but faded away......and was horrible on the final game. I'd be all for getting another dominant OLB for the other side.

                          In the six games Brad Jones started he had 4 sacks which aint bad at all for a 7th round rookie.

                          BTW the whole defense was horrible the final game.

                              McCarthy is expecting Jones to bulk up some during the offseason. I think he needs to get up around the 250 range to handle SOLB. At any rate, they have little depth at OLB right now. Matthews, Jones, Poppinga and Obiozor are about it. I would expect a pick there in the first 3 rounds.

                                Exactly. And no question he is small compared to ideal and seemed to wear down. But he held up his end of the donkey pretty well considering he was a less than unheralded rookie.

                                I think Kampman and the Packers just showed how to part ways amicably, like Reggie before him. Not taking a shot at Brett, that was a whole 'nother animal.
