The Packers have extended 26-year old safety Nick Collins’ contract three more years (through 2013) worth $23.4 million bucks.  Collins played in all 16 games for the Packers last season and he finished up with 53 tackles, 2 tackles for a loss, 1 sack, 13 passes defensed and he intercepted 6 passes (he returned them for a combined 110 yards).  Collins has now played in 77 games in his five years with the Packers and he has made 337 tackles, defensed 54 passes, has 1 sack, forced 5 fumbles and he has 17 interceptions (four returned for TDs).  Collins is a big time playmaker and the Packers were very smart to lock him up.
