Donald Driver expected to attend Packers’ OTAs this week

Longtime Packer Donald Driver has been absent from the Packers’ OTAs so far, but not for unknown reasons. Driver has been skipping the voluntary workouts to focus on Dancing with the Stars, the offseason reality show he competed in and won earlier this month. Driver’s agent said that he and the Packers would likely agree to a restructured deal to get Driver on the field for his 14th NFL season, all with the Packers.

No such deal has been reached yet, but according to ESPN Milwaukee, Driver will attend OTAs for the first time this offseason later this week, whether or not a deal has been reached. They also said that a restructured deal is a matter of when and not if for Driver and the Packers. Driver is owed 2.6 million this year, as well as a 1.5 million dollar roster bonus on July 25th. He won’t see nearly that much money, but he doesn’t seem to mind. At this stage of his career, Driver will take whatever he can get just to say with the team. He’ll probably be a 4th or 5th receiver at best this season.
