In Packers rumors today, the Green Bay Packers may have a particular veteran pass rusher in mind to bolster their front seven for the 2014 season and beyond.
According to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Green Bay Packers may look to New Orleans Saints free agent outside linebacker Parys Haralson to help with what was a sagging pass defense in 2013--
One FA the #Packers are expected to consider is OLB Parys Haralson. Veteran pass rusher whom they were interested in when 49ers had him.

Haralson played the first six years of his career with the San Francisco 49ers, acting as a regular starter for the 49ers from 2007-2011.
The former Tennessee Volunteer sat out the entire 2012 season with a major arm injury, before resurfacing with the New Orleans Saints in 2013. The 30-year-old linebacker drew major interest from the Packers during his tenure in San Francisco, and it is expected that he may reciprocate said interest with the possibility of extending playing time in Green Bay.
Haralson appeared in all 16 regular season games (eight starts) for the Saints in 2013, finishing with 17 tackles and 3.5 sacks. He was placed on injured reserve before the New Orleans Saints' divisional round matchup against the Seattle Seahawks with a torn pectoral muscle.
