It’s still a possibility that the Packers restructure his deal into a longer term one. And if they pay him the $3M at the end of this month we all have to agree, Thompson and the Packers value Finley a lot more than many of us do, don’t we? I agree the $8M+ is a lot to pay him but the advantage to the Packers is it’s just a one year deal. They could view retaining Finley for one year as a “bridge” to a post Jennings/Finley offense. And if Finley has a great year, they can tag him.   IMO Finley lost a half step when he got injured in 2010 and that robbed him of a chance to be an elite TE. With his attitude and immaturity there was no guarantee of that anyway but now I view him only as an above average TE in the passing game. I realize many here don’t value him that highly but what the stats don’t show is how often D’s attention to Finley has resulted in completions to others. The Packers, from the front office through the coaching staff, obviously have a much better handle on that. </blockquote>
