Packers receiver Donald Driver is willing to take a pay cut to stay in Green Bay, but that doesn’t mean the Packers will bring him back, at any salary.

Packers coach Mike McCarthy and General Manager Ted Thompson both declined to say this weekend whether Driver will be back with the team after his Dancing with the Stars stint is over.

I would never speculate on something like that,” Thompson said. “He’s dancing right now. Doing good, too.”

Added McCarthy, “No reason to speculate on that. I’m just going to follow Ted’s answer to that question.”

Although Driver started 15 games last year, he isn’t a vital part of the offense anymore. His catches have declined for five straight years, and last year he was fifth on the team with 37 catches. After 13 seasons with the Packers and more than 10,000 receiving yards, Driver may have played his last game in GreenBay.
