Packers to Receive Super Bowl Rings June 16

It will be a private ceremony, but it will be the one time Green Bay Packer players will be able to interact with coaches and team management.  They will all gather to be presented with their Super Bowl rings.

“We’re staying consistent with what we’ve done in the past,” said team President and CEO Mark Murphy.  Every player entitled to a ring will receive an invitation to attend the ceremony, and the good news for many Packer fans who were worried, Al Harris will get a ring.

The Packers prefer to keep the list of players and employees that receive rings private, but Packers CEO Mark Murphy did reveal during the Packers Tailgate Tour earlier this month that cornerback Al Harris would get one. 

A mainstay of the Green Bay seconday for years, Harris spent half the season on the PUP list (physically unable to perform) and was never on the active roster in 2010 before getting cut. Rewarding Harris with a ring will go over well in the locker room and acknowledges his tireless rehabilitation efforts after suffering a season-ending knee injury in 2009.

According to Murphy, General Manager Ted Thompson and coach Mike McCarthy made the final decision on Harris getting a ring. 

Another big ceremony, however, is still on hold.  That would be a trip to the White House.

“We would love to be able to do it but really that’s going to be dependent on when the labor situation gets resolved,” said Murphy. “It would have to be resolved.”

I say, let's get get this thing resolved!
