Green Bay Packers running back John Kuhn is due to hit the free agent market this off-season.
As of right now Kuhn’s agent Kevin Gold hasn’t heard anything from the Packers about a possible extension.
Gold had the following comments about Kuhn’s status,
“All I know is they like him. I think they want to keep him. He loves it there. If you look at the talent that’s there, who doesn’t want to keep winning Super Bowls? Hopefully, when all this smoke clears, we can get something done.”
“Do I feel he’s an NFL running back? No. But he was able to play that role. He was a cult hero.
“They probably feel, ‘Hey, they’re going to have (James) Starks and (Ryan) Grant, maybe John won’t play as big a role. Teams always like to pay for future performance, not past. Our view is John does so many things, and does them well.”
Whether the Packers have Grant and Starks or not, Kuhn provides a smash mouth running style that no one else provides on the team.
