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?

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. Jermichael made out well when considering his production versus what we paid over the deal......and that is from a guy who has been on the side of singing him if possible and from a guy who was originally happy that we paid him what hhas turned out to be too much.
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
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 .......
$4 million, one year. $1 million tied to game day roster bonuses.
With a healthy Collins and Finley, Packers would have won back-to-back superbowls.
