MILWAUKEE (AP) – A.J. Hawk’s absence from the Green Bay Packers didn’t last long.
Hawk’s agent, Mike McCartney, said in an e-mail to The Associated Press on Thursday that the linebacker signed a five-year deal with the Packers – just one day after the team released Hawk in a cost-cutting move.
Hawk, the No. 5 overall pick in the 2006 NFL draft, was scheduled to earn $10 million in 2011. When the Packers released him Wednesday, they did so with the hope that they could bring him back at a reduced salary.
