The Green Bay Packers got two more players under contract over the weekend.
Seventh round draft pick Vernon Scott, the safety from TCU agreed to terms on his rookie deal. The 6-2, 206 defensive back played in 10 games for the Horned Frogs last season highlighted by a 98 yard interception return for a touchdown against Oklahoma. He becomes the second of Green Bay's nine draft picks to sign, joining fellow 7th rounder, outside linebacker Jonathan Garvin from Miami of Florida.
The Packers also reached agreement with veteran guard Lane Taylor. He reportedly agreed to a one year deal worth 1.5 million dollars, resulting in a three million dollar pay cut. Taylor's reduced rate gives the team a little more salary cap breathing room. After starting the first two games of the season, Taylor got hurt and finished the year on injured reserve. That allowed rookie Elgton Jenkins to move into the starting lineup where he performed very well for the offense.
