I feel its in the best interest of the Franchise to let Finley test Free Agency. For 2 reasons
1. His demands are too high as progress is not being made on his contract according to media reports.
2. If tagged he will lobby to be tagged as a WR. This would make him extremely overpaid. Even being franchised as a TE would make him overpaid.
If TT keeps close contact with Finley and his agent they will get a chance to beat any offer that comes Finleys way. Most likely this will be much less than Jermichael expected. This is the golden era of TEs. Most teams have a decent TE and more than ever many teams have pro bowl level TEs.
At worst he walks, we won without him so I have no doubt we could do it again.
