Kuhn is probably a bit overpaid, but he gets some love in this article about fullbacks:

If Leach isn’t the most popular name in the game, then that honor falls to Green Bay’s John Kuhn. The popular Packer scored 6 touchdowns in 2010 and then made the Pro Bowl when he matched that feat in 2011. According to NFLGSIS’s Net Yards over Average metric, Kuhn leads the league at 198 yards over average when he’s on the field. He’s an effective lead blocker and does a good job in pass protection, which helps cover for an often shaky line. But we shouldn’t get carried away with the praise, because there’s a reason the Packers have limited him to just 172 snaps. That’s because Jordy Nelson, James Jones, Jarrett Boykin, Randall Cobb, and Myles White have combined for 1,870 snaps, and the Packers are more interested in getting those players on the field. Green Bay averages 2.7 WRs on the field per snap; with a tight end and a running back almost always on the field, that leaves precious few snaps for Kuhn.

Posters here have complained about JK's salary for sometime and predicted his demise. I remember Jim Taylor as the "Fullback" even tho he actually was a bit smaller than Horning. Ray Nitchki (sp?) was a converted fullback and Havner played both positions for GB not long ago.

It's going to come down to money for Kuhn, that's why he won't be back next year. He's a free agent and they will be very tight on cap space. Even if he's willing to take vet minimum, they have more important players to sign. Lacy has been rock solid in pass pro, Franklin offers a lot on 3rd down (except pass pro), and the TEs have looked solid as lead blockers. He's an expense they can't afford.
