Report: Kampman signs with Jaguars
By Greg A. Bedard of the Journal Sentinel
March 7, 2010

Green Bay - After eight seasons, Aaron Kampman's time as a Green Bay Packer is reportedly over.

The Florida Times-Union is reporting Kampman agreed to a contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars a short time ago.

Financial terms of the deal were not available but the paper reported Kampman's deal is likely similar to the contract signed by end Kyle Vanden Bosch on Saturday with the Detroit Lions.

Vanden Bosch reportedly got a four-year contract worth $26 million, with $10 million due in the first year of the deal.

It will give Kampman to go back to playing end in a 4-3 scheme, a year after he was moved to outside linebacker in the Packers' new 3-4 scheme -- a move that Kampman never took to and appeared to be his impetus for leaving the only NFL home he's ever known.

The Packers made an effort to re-sign Kampman, who is only three months removed from having his left ACL repaired, but it's not known how much either side wanted the relationship to continue.

Kampman's departure leaves Brad Jones, who will be in his second season, and veteran Brady Poppinga as the top returners at left outside linebacker. The two split time at the spot -- with Jones the starter and getting a majority of the work -- by the end of the season.

The Packers most likely will look for more outside linebacker help in the draft. In the playoff-game loss to the Arizona Cardinals, rookie standout Clay Matthews found himself constantly double teamed at right outside linebacker. It severely hurt the Packers' pass rush that another player was not able to apply pressure on the other side.

Kampman, a fifth-round pick out of Iowa in 2002, departs as the fourth-leading sacker in club history (54). He had started 98 of a possible 100 games before suffering the injury on Nov. 22.

Kampman was voted to the Pro Bowl in 2006 and '07, and was named second-team All-Pro by the Associated Press each time.

During his time with the Packers, Kampman was lauded for his work ethic and leadership by teammates and coaches alike. One of the team's most popular players with fans, Kampman was very active in charitable causes and the Christian community in Green Bay.



poor kampman will never get a ring now šŸ˜ž

Don't feel sorry for him. There are very few players in the league for whom a ring is more important than the best possible payday, as their choices make abundantly clear. A man who can sign a $20 million deal barely three months after ACL surgery isn't "poor" in any sense of the word. We should all be so unfortunate.

I wish him the best of luck, and I feel like crying right now because he was one of my favorite Packers.

Good luck, Kampy!

I'm happy for him - I hope he comes back strong from the injury and terrorizes Manning a couple-plus times per year.

Ya he was a good end to have. I could tell he wasnt happy with the 3-4 scheme even thou 'everyone' tried to make it look like he was just business.

Hope he is happier in florida ... GL to him and ya I agree 20+ million ... is a nice perk.

We need a solid LOLB thou - I personally dont really like pop or brad jones that much. Sure they are decent but we need someone to man handle their tackle.

Well as the Steelers found out last season, when a team loses a free agent over 30 years old the maximum compensatory pick granted is a 5th round.

So they should be able to get a Tony Moll or Martin Ingle with that pick.

The Packers have salaries going up and now don't have to carry his 6 million a year salary.

A casualty of the 3-4 transition it is a shame.

Change is costly.

I'm glad that he's gone. I'm happy that he didn't sign some "lesser" contract with the Packers, who'd try to fit him into roles he can't play.

That said, I wish him the best. He sounds like a great guy and he was one of my favorite players, as well. I was actually hoping that he'd go to the Eagles. That team is as good as ready to make it to the big dance. Another good pass rusher on that D-line would've helped immensely.

Kampman leaving and Clifton resigning really leaves us open to picking a good DE/OLB, though.
