Maybe his insurance policy stipulates 57 confirmations of the injury.
Nick never found someone to clear him.Quote:

Regardless of medical clearance, I don't think Finley will be a Packer or play in the NFL for that matter.
He had the same problem as Nick Collins and the Packers let Collins go, even though he was "Medically Cleared." No other team signed Collins - a player at the height of his career before the injury.
Finley is done, imo.
http://www.rotoworld.com/recent/nfl/...michael-finley
" The Seahawks and Dolphins have flirted with Finley, while the Jets, Chiefs, Giants, and Steelers have all been rumored to have interest.
The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported in late March that Finley was "at least two months" and "maybe several months more" from signing a contract. Apr 27 - 2:13 PM " Fr. LINK above
MM not closing the door on Finley:
Maybe MM is just choosing not to talk negatively about a guy in a tough situation, but he has always liked Finley, despite the headaches he sometimes causes.Quote:
"In my mind, he's a Green Bay Packer, hopefully," coach Mike McCarthy said on SiriusXM NFL Radio on Wednesday. "He's going through a tough medical situation that we all recognize is a serious injury. My understanding is he's doing everything and beyond to get himself ready, and we'll continue to watch that."
It seems to me that.... MM's suffering a delusion of certain proportions.Quote:

Disagree.Quote:

MM showed no "man love" for him, just commented that he would like to keep him assuming his neck heals. Why shut the door on a talented player? Yes, he's hurt, but what would it say about MM if he just said "hit the bricks"? How would other players around the league take it where the head coach seemingly doesn't care about his players?
I thought he handled it just fine.

************************************************** *******
The way some of you ram it in together can be counted on.
Sorry Lads but common sense rules the day:
Get out the chains or see this situation for what it is; see TE JerMichael Finley for what /who he is and "his double speak".
Visits to other NFL teams for a new contract and extending his NFL playing career and ** wanting to retire a Green Bay Packer** . Which is it JerMichael?
Why not simply use some common sense after sound analysis.
** The latter (or retirement as a Green Bay Packer) is obtainable as long as he simply faces the facts of his injury and retires now. I believe that after all the blah blah blah that it's going to most reasonably end right there.
Let's exmine it closer. Being silly isn't ever an incurable thing. :idea:
A) Jermichael Finley has shown more interest in the Seattle Seahawk and New York GIANTS organizations than a return to Green Bay where he has said a return means he want the same money he got pre-injury. See Ted Thompson and his needs to re-sign at least one of WR's Jordy Nelson and/or Randall Cobb....2015 UFA"s and star Green Bay Packer offensive weapons that offer superior returns than any injury afflicted JerMichael Finley.
B) JerMichael Finleys injury is similar to former star Safety Nick Collins and what was the Green Bay Packers response to that? Is a man like TT (the Green Bay Packers) going to make a decision about one star player (Nick Collins) and where the same decision is prudent RE: JerMichael Finley. Do an about turn? NO ! That's not logical nor likely.
Not that Ted Thompson can ever be accused of certain consistency. Take his latest draft and the claim he always drafts BPA. That went has gone out the door like used bath water after the 2014 draft. That TT is such a kidder. :-|
C) Mike McCarthy is a football coach. MM is being over emotional and not using managerial skills required of an NFL GM. Ted Thompson won't be bringing JerMichael Finley back because Mike McCarthy can't use common sense and let go of this damaged TE.
D) Focusing on the personal and the man himself. JerMichael Finley isn't the brightest bulb on the tree. To allow JerMichael Finley to come back (again ... see Nick Collins) and with that decision. Put him at high risk that one hit could risk much more than his football life. Isn't going to happen.
It's a certain bye bye to TE JerMichael Finley and TE play in Green Bay.
Take that to the bank.

So his interest in other teams COULD be an indication that he wants to leave, or it might be an indication he MAY HAVE TO leave, in order to continue playing. Plus, either way it never hurts to have more than one suitor.
Your as up on this UFA as I am pbmax. There's not much that you miss as a Packer fan and my observations here. To top that off your competent as a fan in regards to being even in your common sense and personality.Quote:

Jermichael Finley Says He’d Play for Giants If Ben McAdoo Came Calling; Loves Playing for Him
May 13th, 2014 at 9:00 AM
By: Doug Rush
" Since the beginning of the offseason, there has been one very popular name that has been linked to the New York Giants from the very beginning, talk that all started when he was being recruited to play for the team by Antrel Rolle during Super Bowl XLVIII; Jermichael Finley of the Green Bay Packers."

NFL Free Agency 2014: Tight end market is Jermichael Finley and who else?
By: Ed Valentine @bigblueview on May 15 2014, 12:00p
" If and when that clearance ever comes, the Giants will have some competition if they want the services of the 27-year-old Finley. The Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks have reportedly shown some interest, and ..... a return to the Packers is also apparently not out of the question."
This talk and these NFL teams and this former Green Bay Packer TE and his desires to continue his NFL career. Has been in the news for weeks now.
Both articles mention nothing about money. Finley's interest in the Giants is due to McAdoo (a father figure), based on one quote. The Seattle rumor cites unsubstantiated rumors. No evidence supporting anything having to do with how much money Finley wants. Try again.
P.S. Madtown's rules are pretty simple - not posting of personal information.
When did money become the specific of this argument? Get real please. Ohh forget that suggestion. Your "way past" out to lunch.Quote:

Yes, JF has stated he is willing to look at other teams, but his preference is retiring as a Packer. It's a business and he knows it is. The Packers can cut bait with him at any time and he knows it so he is keeping his options open as he wants to play again.Quote:

This is extremely common when a player hits FA, they always say they want to stay with their former team in order to get more offers on the table and thus get the best contract. To be shocked that a player does this is being obtuse to the realities of the NFL.
You haven't shown any evidence that MM is being "overly emotional" about Finley. His statement that was referenced above shows nothing remotely over the top.
I personally don't think Finley is coming back given the injury. I would be surprised if he does end up getting cleared given what has been reported.
nice edit. Stay classy, San Diego.Quote:

Finley wants to be well paid. No shocker there. I hope he passes his physical eventually and the Packers can get him for a reasonable contract. If not, I really hope he goes to the AFC.
I'm sorry, is there a football topic in here anywhere? Seems like a personal attack. I think you are up to at least five today.Quote:

It's my view with many in Packer Nation that his career as a Packer TE is over.
That's my stance on this as I view it today.
Before he's medically cleared to speculate anything but the likelihood of that (a medical Doctor's clearance to return to the NFL as a player) is to think too far ahead as I see that.
The only agreement we have is that we don't believe that Finley will be here next season. I still disagree about your other comments on MM and Finley.Quote:

That BS never works with me. All that gets is double time from me or total disregard and disrespect. I make it a promise to myself tt wade right in or best ...ignore trouble and fix that fast.
On point....
I 've never understood "all the positive rage" and JerMichael Finley. How well has he produced?
JerMichael Finley has been overpaid as I've seen it for "only 20 TD's" in six (6) seasons.
He's been available for 70 games and started 48. He's had 223 receptions for 2785 yards and 12.5 Yards/Catch. He's been a continuing concern and a project to act sensible. His maturity issues have been obvious.
Now add the latest injury and prognosis for worse. Add his impetuous nature and given the non medical clearance to play again. Add contradictory reports of remaining a Green Bay Packer.
I rest my case on why are we coveting his future service.
