Adam Schefter reports the former Packers tight end has decided to retire from football.

Here's the report:

Finley claims he got offers and turned them down. Perhaps they were not lucrative enough (as in a no guarantee minimum that might turn into merely OTA per diems) to forfeit the $10 mil disability claim. Hard to begrudge that calculation.

All the yapping and twitter crap notwithstanding, I must say I miss seeing him on the field. Dynamic potential only partially realized. I hope he's found a pursuit he enjoys.

Very graceful tweets from Finley. I wish him all the best.

A no brainer here for Jermichael, a pile of cash big enough to retire on or give it back and risk a life altering injury.

Nothing against Richard Rodgers and the guys behind him, but Finley is just the TE we are missing from the offensive arsenal at the moment.
