Packers bring back safety Rudy Ford

NFL Network reports that the Packers are bringing back safety Rudy Ford on a one year deal, worth up to $2.5 million.

The move makes sense given Ford's contribution on special teams, specifically on coverage units, as well as his ability from scrimmage.

While perhaps not a front line starter, Ford was a solid fill-in at safety when called upon and certainly showed a willingness to fly around and hit people.

That said, the safety room currently boasts Darnell Savage, Ford, new signing Tarvarius Moore (another backup/special teams level player) Tariq Carpenter, Innis Gaines, and James Wiggins.
