A.J. Hawk back with Pack, He'll Sign New 5-Year Deal Thursday

By Lance Allan

Just as quick as he was cut, A.J. Hawk is back, with the Pack. Two sources tell me that the linebacker is scheduled to fly back to Green Bay on Thursday, and sign a new 5-year deal. Terms not disclosed. The Packers didn't have deal fully completed before they had to release Hawk. But Hawk will come to Lambeau Field to sign the new contract before the collective bargaining agreement is set to expire on Thursday at midnight. Hawk released because the $10 million in base salary owed for next season, courtesy of his rookie contract....there's no way the Packers were going to pay that. It's a win win. The Packers keep a good "glue guy" in the locker room, one that other players respect in the locker room, and a guy that makes all the defensive calls. While Hawk stays in a place, he never wanted to leave in the first place. Even if it was just for a day.
