GREEN BAY -- Nick Collins doesn't want a new deal before reporting to the Green Bay Packers' offseason strength and conditioning program. But the Pro Bowl safety would at least like the team to start talking to him about one.

With no negotiations on the horizon, Collins is staying home in Florida and not attending the team's offseason workouts, which kicked off Monday, an NFL source said Thursday evening.

Collins, 25, was named an NFC starter at safety for the Pro Bowl last month after registering 99 tackles and seven interceptions last season, returning three of those INTs for touchdowns. He has played and started 63 of a possible 66 games during his four NFL seasons, with 11 career interceptions.

Collins, who entered the league as a second-round pick in 2005 and signed a five-year deal, has one year remaining on his rookie contract. His agent, Dave Butz, was not available for comment Thursday night.

Traditionally, non-first round picks sign four-year deals. In fact, in the league's last collective bargaining agreement with the NFL Players Association, both sides agreed that players drafted after the first round could no longer sign rookie contracts longer than four years because it prevents players from restricted free agency after their third season and unrestricted free agency after their fourth, costing them two years on the open market.

Meanwhile, wide receiver Greg Jennings, who was drafted in 2006 but signed only a four-year conract, is also entering the final year of his deal and is the Packers' top re-signing priority.

The source said the Packers have identified Jennings as the first player to negotiate with on a new deal among a number of key contributors set to become free agents following the 2009 season.

Collins attended the organization's annual FanFest last weekend and told reporters that he would be at the offseason program, which he said was important because of the team's switch to a new 3-4 defense under new defensive coordinator Dom Capers.

"I'm going to be here, and I'm going to do what I have to do to help this team," Collins said.

But after talking with coach Mike McCarthy, Capers and general manager Ted Thompson and learning that the team would not be initiatingcontract negotiations with him, Collins opted not to report on Monday.

The offseason workout program is voluntary, with the only mandatory session set for the team's full-squad minicamp June 23-25, so Collins cannot be fined for his absence.

Asked at FanFest whether the contract was on his mind, Collins replied, "You know, I'm not worried about that. It's not up to me; it's up to the organization if they want to do it and my agent. So I leave it as that. ... This is where I started, this is where I want to finish. But this is a business, and hopefully things get worked out. But, if not, I'll always be a Packer in my heart."
