Why Donald Lee Isn’t To Be Forgotten
I may as well go ahead and say it, we all know that Jermichael Finley is a very good player. In factm he’s fantastic.
Lee, Finley locked in tight race
It would be one thing if Donald Lee were fading into the background, messing up his blocks, dropping passes or missing time. It would be another thing if he were insecure, fretting over this young hot shot Jermichael Finley and the big splash he is making along with the attention he is receiving. But Lee [...]
Lee’s Production Picking Up
Like all of the players and coaches, tight end Donald Lee is disappointed with where the Packers are in the standings, but individually he is in the midst of his most productive stretch of the season. In the last four games, Lee has 14 receptions for 126 yards and three touchdowns, including a career-high six [...]
Lee Gets Into the Act
One of the few knocks on Aaron Rodgers in his first nine games as the Green Bay Packers’ starting quarterback was his inability to get the tight ends involved in the offense. That seemed to change — for one game at least. In Sunday’s 37-3 rout of the Chicago Bears at Lambeau Field, Rodgers relied [...]

Not long after Green Bay Packers tight end Donald Lee caught a 48-yard pass from Brett Favre with about 3:30 left in the second quarter Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs, vice president Andrew Brandt saw an e-mail pop [...]
Packers Intend to Keep Lee
The Green Bay Packers have begun contract negotiations with representatives for tight end Donald Lee that they hope will lock him up for years to come. Lee, one of the most improved players on the roster, is the only starter among the seven players due to become unrestricted free agents in March. “They contacted my [...]
Lee Catches on as Go-to Guy at Tight End
Less than five months ago, when it became apparent Donald Lee had risen to the top of the Green Bay Packers’ depth chart, there was no way to predict he’d get the ball as often as any tight end in the Brett Favre era. General Manager Ted Thompson did little to address the position in [...]
