The Facts: Ferguson, who missed the final 10 games due to a Lisfranc injury in his right foot, was told during his exit interview with the team that he would not be released this offseason. Despite missing 36 of a possible 96 games since being selected in the second round in 2001, GM Ted Thompson will give Ferguson a shot to prove himself once again.

Diehards Line:Ferguson lost his starting job in training camp to rookie Greg Jennings, but held the No. 3 spot even after Koren Robinson joined the team. However, he only caught five passes for 31 yards and a touchdown in the four games he was active. In fact, in six seasons, three as a primary starter, the most passes Ferguson has caught was 38 in 2003. His greatest value to the Packers is as a special teams contributor.
