It was reported earlier this month that Donald Driver would restructure with the Packers after he was done on Dancing with the Stars and that report turned out to be accurate. A week after winning Dancing with the Stars, Driver restructured with the Packers on a 1 year, 2.5 million dollar deal to return for his 15^th NFL season, all with the Packers.

The new deal is down from 4.3 million, so it’s a sizeable paycut. 500,000 of it was paid up front, a sign that the Packers do intend to keep him on their 53 man roster, despite the fact that he’s 37. Unless he really struggles in Training Camp, he’ll be on the roster this season as a 4^th or 5^th wide receiver. He’s definitely behind Greg Jennings, Jordy Nelson, and James Jones at this point and might get beaten out by 2011 2^nd round pick Randall Cobb.
