Kuhn to become a free agent; will still negotiate with Packers

According to ESPN.com's Rob Demovsky, Packers FB John Kuhn will hit the market as an unrestricted free agent this offseason. Despite that, Kuhn and the Packers are apparently still going to negotiate with each other, meaning that no, he isn't definitely gone. 

So yea, it's tough to judge what this news means. Are the Packers letting him hit the market due to a lack of interest, or are they just struggling to get a deal done with him at this time? For the sake of the team's future at the position, let's hope the latter is correct here, because if Kuhn doesn't return this fall Green Bay will be stuck with that rookie Ina Liaina guy.

Kuhn isn't someone they absolutely have to re-sign, so I can see why they're making him wait until after they've settled on their big ticket items (like Sam Shields). I don't see why they wouldn't keep him, but they probably want him for the same salary as last year. He might be looking for a slight raise.
