Kuhn, 33, had spent the last nine seasons as a Green Bay Packer, becoming a local fan favorite in the process. He was a member of the Packers’ Super Bowl XLV-winning team and earned All-Pro selections in 2011 and 2014 as well.

A steady, consistent force as a blocker and in short-yardage/goal-line situations, Kuhn was a staple in the Green Bay backfield for the better part of the last decade. Now, he’s set to join an interconference rival, which is sure to be a sight that will take some getting used to. ‘Tis pity those mini Lambeau Leaps will be no more.
