Fullback John Kuhn returns to Packers with one-year deal

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- John Kuhn, the Green Bay Packers' Pro Bowl fullback and one of the most popular players on their roster, is coming back for another season.

The Packers re-signed Kuhn to a one-year contract that will pay him the veteran's minimum of $870,000 but also includes a workout bonus and a Pro Bowl bonus, his agent, Kevin Gold, said.

Kuhn, 32, has played in 123 games with the Packers over the past eight seasons, the most by any offensive player during that time frame, and was named to his second Pro Bowl in 2014.

He also was named first-team All-Pro by The Associated Press despite playing on just 20.6 percent of the Packers' offensive snaps, mostly as a blocking back for Eddie Lacy. Kuhn carried the ball 24 times for 85 yards with one touchdown.
