Jermichael Finley, who was due a $3 million bonus on Monday, will remain with the Packers.
Green Bay agreed to pay the bonus as part of his $8.25 million compensation package for 2013, rather than release him, according to sources.
"Ecstatic 2 b back w @packers. Best place on earth. Thank u 2 my agents & family," Finley tweeted in excitement.
He caught 61 passes for 667 yards and two touchdowns in 2012.
