GREEN BAY, Wis., Aug. 6 (UPI) -- The Green Bay Packers announced Friday they have extended the contract of receiver Donald Driver so he will likely finish his career with the team.
Driver, 35, holds the Green Bay all-time record for catches with 647.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel said Driver agreed to a two-year contract extension that will keep him with the Packers through 2012. He had been scheduled to become a free agent at the end of the 2010 season.
Driver needs 606 receiving yards to pass James Lofton for the No. 1 spot in franchise history.
He was selected by the Packers in the seventh round of the 1996 draft. Driver has had six straight 1,000-yard seasons.
"Now I am going to retire as a Packer," Driver said. "That is something I have dreamed of for a long time and it's here now."
