Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Entering his 13th season with the franchise, Driver was set to earn $6.8 million this season, according to Greg Bedard of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, with $4 million in base salary and $2.8 million in the form of a roster bonus. Terms of the extension have not been reported. “It’s been going on for awhile," Driver said. "Now it’s done and I’m happy about it. Now I’m a Green Bay Packer for life.” Driver already has the most receptions in franchise history and needs 607 yards to eclipse James Lofton and become Green Bay’s all-time leader in yardage. While there are those who suggest Driver's role could decrease with James Jones and Jordy Nelson progressing, the veteran is still a very viable Fantasy prospect this season.
