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 is frozen [...]
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 heavily on [...]
Diminished role surprises tight end Lee
Donald Lee sat around the house Thursday night, watching the Cleveland-Denver game, and saw the Browns’ Brady Quinn throw 15 of his 35 passes to tight end Kellen Winslow.
“That dude had, like, 10 catches for 100-some yards and two touchdowns,” the Green Bay Packers’ veteran tight end said Friday. “Man. I wish I could get [...]
Show Lee the Money
When Brett Favre has been at his best during his career, there has been a good tight end in the Green Bay Packers’ offense.
There were Mark Chmura and Keith Jackson during the Super Bowl years in the 1990s, and the idled Bubba Franks played at a Pro Bowl level earlier this decade.
During the Packers’ 31-17 [...]
Donald Lee signs deal with Packers
In the end, the deal likely would have gotten done.Â
But it probably didn’t hurt, either.
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 into his [...]
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.Â
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 agent,” Lee [...]
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 the [...]
Donald Lee & Bubba Franks at TE for the Pack
A year after the Green Bay Packers opened the season with four tight ends on their roster, they appear set to go with only two — at least for a while.
You won’t hear any complaints from Donald Lee and Bubba Franks, the two tight ends currently on the roster.
“We want all the reps, trust me,” [...]
Lee Makes Bid to Start at Tight End
Nothing that Donald Lee has done in his first extended opportunity to become a starting tight end in the National Football League has disappointed the Green Bay Packers.
Some scouts might not think Green Bay has even one desirable tight end. But when the Packers’ coaches sit around each night evaluating what they do have, not [...]
Lee Looking to Start
Justin Harrell and Donald Lee almost certainly would be starters if the Green Bay Packers opened the season today.
Both were listed as such on a depth chart that was approved by coach Mike McCarthy and given to reporters Friday.
That Harrell, the Packers’ first-round draft pick, was listed as a starter ahead of fourth-year veteran Corey [...]
