    You know, that raises an interesting question, one that Advanced NFL Stats looked at a bit in relation to the salary cap.

    Considering all players, what does $7 mil per year get you from the TE?
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Seahawks out of chase for Finley

    Seahawks out. Packers, Giants and maybe the Patriots are in.

    Possibly.

    I'm looking at the full contract. Not just last year.

    I'm just looking at the bigger picture and looking at actual numbers. It was a bad deal IMO for Green Bay.

    With all of that being said, since I still have some infinite blind faith that the talent may turn into production, I would have no problem if Green Bay brings him back again.

    In the end Finley will go to the team that pays him the most IMO

    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

    I wasn't being serious with the comment. BTW Jermichael only signed a 2 year deal and that was the reason for paying him a little extra. The deal was good for both sides at the time but obviously Finley made out better in the deal. Still was far from a waste of money since they two years he started on offense we were top 5 in offense.

    He should take his insurance payout of $10 mil and quit.

    OK....let's have some fun with this. Write down how much you'd pay on a one year deal for Finley. If the answer is zero......just say PASS... I'm not in the pass group but I'm not sure where my figure is. I'm guessing around 3 MIL range .......

    If some doctor other than the Kansas City Quack says it's OK, I'd pay him 5 mil, straight up one year contract.

    $4 million, one year. $1 million tied to game day roster bonuses.

    For sure that's the way it will go down.

    So which contending teams have the CAP space to even possibly and realistically be able to sign Jermichael Finley?

    With a healthy Collins and Finley, Packers would have won back-to-back superbowls.

    Well, maybe Collins. He was a big part of the one they did win. Finley, on the other hand was not much of a factor in the SB winning season, but was around for all of the following season, wasn't he?

    Pro Football Reference has him down for 16 games, 13 starts. Might be formation more than injuries.
