“…I can’t envision a scenario in which Kampman is back”
Those are pretty strong and definitive words, but they weren’t mine. They belong to Green Bay Press-Gazette Assistant Sports Editor Tom Pelissero. In one of a series of daily chats he is holding on the Packers (position-by-position), he was asked the following question by chat participant “Geoff”:
Kampman: Rumor has it that he will be offered a contract, but it is not a priority. Lets say he on the team, do you see him making the “leap” to becoming a good OLB, or is he just a pass rusher?
Pelissero’s simple answer was: “…I can’t envision a scenario in which Kampman is back.”
Wow. Pretty strong and definitive words there. There have been plenty of Kampman rumors and speculation. Radio Host Mike Lucas claims Kampman is “furious” about how he was used last season. Brandon over at Acme Packing Company talks about that and the overall Kampman situation here. But this was the first time I had heard anyone be so definitive about the seemingly slim chances of Kampman returning to the Packers.
I had to know more, so I asked Pelissero to expand on his comment. Here was his reply:
