    Until we find another TE better than Finley this offseason he isn't going anywhere. I found it rather telling Williams was a healthy scratch yesterday. If he, Crabby or Taylor were better they'd be starting and not Finley.
    During the season, yes, it matters who is better. During the off season, it doesn't always matter. Salary cap impact overall, productive for salary cap impact all matter too, during the off season. Good teams often have to decide at which positions to keep their best talent, and at which to settle for a lesser but cheaper talent. That is what salary caps are all about. Sometimes good teams have to settle for their second best player at a position while letting their best player go.

    The Packers did not have a replacement as good as or better than Wells, yet he was not brought back. They are better off at TE than they were at center last year. Releasing Finley would not surprise me.

      No one here knows if he's a cancer, but he definitely seems like a DBag.

        48 receptions for 525 yards and 2 TDs...this is not a $7 million TE stat line.
        Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

          They have Quarless waiting in the wings who, if healthy, might even be an improvement over Finley. He was not a bad receiver and was supposedly becoming the best blocking TE on the team pre-injury.

            Gronk had as many TD's last season as Fin has had in his career.

              That's a fair comparison Perhaps next you'll compare Woodcock to Jennings and Welker to Nelson.

                TT made a decision to accept JerMichael's personality and questionable limited skills when he signed him to 'a great contract' for JerMichael Finley. Many fans here opposed that for valid reasons. Lately we're seeing JF be more prominant as MM and Aaron Rodgers gain more confidence in him; but will the conflict issues go away?

                Greg Jennings gone or not. IMO that's no big deal. We have Aaron Rodgers so give him something to work with and that doesn't have to be a $10 million$ WR.

                We will continue to see TT use the draft to keep the PACKERS strong.

                  That's how I see it too. Maybe we missed something?

                      Yeah, that was a lttle below the belt, but my main criticsm of Fin is his over-inflated sense of worth and accomplishment. He had potential, but failed to achieve the sucess that seemed on the horizon. He's not in the Gronk, Gonzales, Witten class of players at all. The guys I just named do both the little things and make big plays. Fin is a notch or two above the middle ground for TE's.

                      After the two Fin threads yesterday, I really watched Fin in the Bear game. He played pretty good. He now seems to understand that a good chip or a solid clearing route is important to the team's success. Hope he plays his ass off the rest of the year. I really doubt he'll be on the Pack next season, maybe he gets his ring this year.

                        And therein is the problem. You don't pay $8.5mil next year for "pretty good". I highly doubt he's willing to take a 50% pay.

                          But isn't that exactly the problem? With his physical gifts, his proclaimed self worth, and the contract provisions for next year, we should be comparing Finley to any TE in the league. The fact that we can't demonstrates why he might not be in GB next year at the contract provided.

                            Add TE to 'the wish list'.

                              It will be interesting to see if he can return to form after that horrible injury.

                                Finley was interviewed by ESPN.com yesterday and was asked about the Milw. JS article re: the Packers getting rid of him next season.

                                Finley said he wants to be a Packer for life and be a teammate of Rodgers' as long as Rodgers' plays. Also said his relationship with AR is fine. IDK, but he needs a little less self-inflated view of himself. DJ Williams, Quarless and Crabtree are a pretty decent trio. Not as dynamic as Finley, but Finley is too streaky. He's had a decent last couple of games, but could disappear or worse have the drops, like he did vs NYG in the playoffs.
