The Green Bay Packers linebacker Aaron Kampman expects that he will recover fully form the left knee injury by the beginning of training camp, but he needs to figure out which team’s NFL jersey he will put on to play next season’s games.
The two-time Pro Bowl selection for the Packers has played all eight of his NFL season in Packers jersey, but he is scheduled to become a free agent and there has not yet any confirmation on his future with the team.
“Obviously, this is the only place I’ve been and it’d be great to continue my career here,” Kampman said Monday following the Packers’ 51-45 overtime playoff loss to the Arizona Cardinals. “But we’ll see what happens.”
Kampman’s season-ending knee injury came during the Nov. 22 game against the San Francisco 49ers and had surgery on Dec. 4. Although he thinks that he can do both 4-3 defensive scheme and 3-4 that new defensive coordinator Dom Capers installed to the Packers, Kampman also thinks he will possibly choose a team that runs a 4-3 defensive scheme.

Packers GM does not rule Michael Vick out
Green Bay Packers general manager Ted Thompson said on Tuesday that the team will not rule out the scandal-tainted quarterback Michael Vick. But since Thompson is notoriously coy about the team's plans, it is still hard to judge from his comments whether the team have a sincere and significant level of interest in giving Vick chance of wearing packers jersey.
"What is the answer that we give to questions like this? We're always looking to improve our team," Thompson said. "We look at all options at all times. I wouldn't care to speculate in terms of the odds or the percentages (of signing Vick) or anything like that."
Thompson admitted that Vick is in unique situation but the team will just evaluate him in the same routine of evaluting other players. No matter whether the Packers are really interested in Vick, they are the first team showing such stance in public after Vick was conditionally reinstated to the NFL.
