GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP)—
The Green Bay Packers re-signed 39-year-old center Frank Winters, a 17-year veteran, to a $755,000 one-year free agent contract Thursday.
Winters, who has played for the Packers since 1992, was placed on waivers Monday because of salary cap constraints so the Packers could sign him at a lower salary. He was scheduled to make $2 million this season.
Only $450,000 of Winters' salary will count against the cap.
Winters was targeted as a backup last year, but played in all 16 games and made 10 starts after injuries hit the team's offensive line.
