The Packers released Clifton on Monday.
Packers general manager Ted Thompson called Clifton an "integral part of our success over the past 12 seasons," thanking him for his time with the team. It was not immediately clear whether Clifton will retire. ESPN reported the Packers' plans to release Clifton earlier Monday. Clifton has been the Packers' primary left tackle since 2000, starting 160 regular-season games in 12 seasons.

General manager Ted Thompson said the Green Bay Packers remain in a wait-and-see mode about the playing future of Collins. The 28-year-old Collins sustained a career-threatening neck injury at Carolina last season and had neck fusion surgery in September.
Collins and the Packers have not met to discuss his future and probably won't until after the draft, agent Alan Herman said. If Collins can't play, Thompson may fill the position in next week's draft. "It's still in process, which it has been," Thompson said during his pre-draft news conference on Thursday. "It's a process that continues. We don't have any determination at this point."

Hargrove's agent says the free agent defensive lineman has agreed to a contract with the Green Bay Packers.
Hargrove has 19.5 sacks in 102 career regular season games. He played for Seattle last season and had three sacks in 15 games. It's another addition in what has been an uncharacteristically active free agency period for Packers general manager Ted Thompson. The Packers also signed free agent center Jeff Saturday and defensive lineman Daniel Muir.

Cornerback and special teams ace Jarrett Bush has agreed to a three-year deal to return to the Green Bay Packers, according to his agent. Agent Derrick Fox says Bush agreed to return to the Packers after making free agent visits to Arizona and the New York Jets. Fox says Bush wanted to be with the Packers the whole time, and only would have left if he had been offered the chance to start.
Bush has played in 94 regular season games for the Packers since 2006, with seven career starts. He has three career interceptions, including two last season.
