Rodgers was firm in saying Monday, when the players cleaned out their lockers a day after the Packers' 6-10 season ended, that his throwing shoulder isn't in need of repair. Rodgers suffered a severe sprain of the right shoulder in the Sept. 28 game at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but he continued playing for the rest of the season.

"I feel good," Rodgers said. "Unless there's a serious reason ... if it's not broken, don't fix it. My shoulder's been feeling great. I haven't worn a (protective) harness for a number of weeks on it after the injury in Week 4. I don't see any reason to do any surgery."

Rodgers was supposed to have the shoulder examined by the team's medical staff during the mandatory exit physicals for players this week before a decision would be made on whether surgery would be needed.

--WR Greg Jennings left the door slightly open that he could stage a contract holdout before next season.

Jennings is under contract through 2009 and is due to earn a base salary of just $530,000 in the final year of his rookie deal. Jennings outperformed that by emerging as one of the top wideouts in the league this season with team highs of 80 receptions, 1,292 receiving yards and nine touchdown catches.

Jennings didn't let his desire for a contract extension become a distraction during the season, but his outlook figures to change with no football games in the way the next several months.

He tried to assure Packers fans Monday that he wouldn't resort to holding out as RB Ryan Grant did for the first part of training camp this year before he received a lucrative contract from the team.

"They shouldn't worry about that," Jennings said. "I'm here to play football. The business will take care of itself. If it comes down to it, I'm not a type that wants to hold out.

"Now, if that comes to happening, I'm not going to sit here and say I won't do it. But, I'm about 99 percent sure that I won't be doing any of that. That's just not me. But, again, you never know what happens. But, I don't see it happening at all."

--Fellow starting WR Donald Driver insisted his mini-lap around the perimeter of the playing surface at Lambeau Field following Sunday's contest to shake and slap hands with the team's fans wasn't a sign that he played his final game in a Packers uniform.

"Oh, no. You're all reading into it too much," Driver said.

"We didn't give our fans what they wanted, and that's more games in the postseason," he said of the gesture. "So, I wanted to make sure that they knew that we still love 'em, regardless of the situation, regardless of what our record stands for. I just walked around the stadium and gave everybody a high-five."

Driver, a 10-year veteran, is the most tenured Green Bay player on the league's youngest team. Although Jennings supplanted him as the team's top playmaker at receiver, Driver had a productive season with 74 catches for 1,012 yards and five touchdowns, highlighted by a 71-yard scoring play to seal the 31-21 victory over the Detroit Lions on Sunday.

Driver extended his own team record with five straight seasons with 1,000 receiving yards, and he set another mark with six 1,000-yard seasons in his career.

Driver is under contract through 2010.

QUOTE TO NOTE: "We know we're supposed to be in the playoffs. We just didn't win the close games this year. Last season, we won all of the close games. It's hard right now knowing that we're not going to be playing in the playoffs." -- Pro Bowl S Nick Collins, on the disappointment of the Packers ending the season with a 6-10 record after finishing runners-up in the NFC in 2007.
