JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Cary Williams Jersey . —The Jacksonville
Jaguars are giving oft-injured defensive end Aaron Kampman a chance to catch on
elsewhere. The Jaguars released the veteran pass rusher Thursday, five days
before the start of a mandatory, three-day minicamp. Kampman has missed 28 games
over the last three seasons while playing for Jacksonville and Green Bay,
including 13 last year. He had 57 tackles and four sacks in 11 games during his
two seasons with the Jaguars. He sat out all of organized team activities last
month while recovering from a second surgery on his right knee. With a salary
near $5 million in 2012, and the return of Austen Lane and John Chick from
injuries and the addition of second-round draft pick Andre Branch, it became
unlikely that Kampman would make the 53-man roster. Releasing him now gives
Kampman a better chance to sign with another team and prove he is healthy.
Kampman was one of the leagues elite pass rushers in his prime with the Packers,
recording 48 sacks between 2004 and 2008. But he tore the anterior cruciate
ligament in his left knee in 2009 and hasnt been the same since. Despite the
injury, the Jaguars gave Kampman a four-year contract worth $25 million in 2010.
The deal included $10 million guaranteed. Kampman played eight games in 2010
before tearing the ACL in his right knee. He tried to come back last season, but
had several setbacks. A hamstring injury complicated his rehabilitation and he
ended up on injured reserve for a third consecutive season. The Jaguars could
have kept him through training camp to see if he could get back to full speed,
but his salary would have been really high for someone whose role has been
reduced to part-time player. Teammates reacted on Twitter. “Sad to see Kampman
go,” Lane posted on his Twitter page. “Im grateful for the things he taught me
on the field but more importantly about life. I wish him the best of luck!”
Added defensive tackle Terrance Knighton: “Aaron Kampman is THE best teammate I
ever had. Hate to see him go.” Haloti Ngata Authentic Jersey .Y. —The
