The Facts: Following up on a previous item. ... Driver is willing to take a pay cut to stay with the team, the Green Bay Packers receiver told reporters on Friday. “The organization knows what I’ve done on and off the field, and they want to keep me around as long as possible,” said Driver, WISN-TV reported. “If that means sitting down and taking pay cuts to stay around, then you take pay cuts to stay around. I’ve always said it’s not about the money for me anymore."
Diehards Line:Driver, who just turned 37, finished his 13th season in Green Bay with 37 receptions, 445 yards and six touchdowns. The catches and yardage were his lowest since the 2001 season. He’s scheduled to earn a $2.6 million salary in 2012 and a $2.2 million roster bonus in March. It’s hard to believe the team would bring Driver back with him counting $5 million against the salary cap.
