    Packers Sign Finley

    Per PFT's Twitter:

    "Per league source, Packers agree to terms on two-year contract with TE Jermichael Finley. Details coming at PFT."

    "More on Jermichael Finley: Two-year deal is worth slightly under $15 million."

    Two years??? Hmm...I figured we'd sign him to a four year deal. I guess they're wanting him to prove himself.

      Wow, he hasn't tweeted about it yet. There must be a "quit your damn typing" clause.

              2y, $15M. I need to dig up a thread.

                  Close to 7.5 mill per year??? If its incentive laden then my first thoughts were bang on (except I thought 4 yrs). However that uses a lot of space, which means byebye cliffy, maybe wells and driver has to renegotiate. I just hope we don't get room from Collins.

                    Nope. I'm not that good, but I did make this statement:

                    A poster who shall remain nameless:

                    Exactly, you don't tag a player with the drops.

                    TT and Finely's agent will work out a contract before they need to tag him. 4 years $18M.
                    My response:

                    I'd be willing to offer up a friendly wager that he gets more, on average, than that. I'd say he'll get more than $5m/year and probably something at or over the TE franchise number.
                    I finally got one right.

                      To be fair, this one wasn't that difficult. Finley is a special talent and he was going to get paid. Now, let's just hope he gets over the drops and matures a bit more. At least, he has the QB on his side, and that's a good thing.

                        So now, does TT tag Wells? Flynn? (Doubt Flynn, but thought I'd throw it out there)

                          i like the compromise between the te and wr tags. he is a te but if he really did have more snaps at wr then this is a good number.

                            Even if he keeps dropping shit it aint bad for a high priced decoy. I get the feeling he will be better without worrying about getting paid. Good job TT.

                              yup, lets hope this takes his mind off having to prove himself and he just goes out and plays the way he's capable of doing

                              seems decent even if it is short. split the difference between the TE and WR tags, that seems fair all around
