Jermichael Finley Rumors & News

If he succeeds, the Green Bay Packers’ offense will be even more dangerous than last season, even without free-agent wide receiver Greg Jennings, now a member of the rival Minnesota Vikings.Finley joined Paul Allen, the radio play-by-play voice of the Vikings, on Twin Cities radio station KFAN Wednesday morning and held forth on a variety of subjects, including which player he emulates. After being compared to Antonio Gates by guest Corey ...

It's rather unusual for an NFL player to do an in-studio interview with a radio station or personality who covers a rival team. However, that's exactly what Jermichael Finley did Wednesday morning, as he was in the Twin Cities talking to Paul Allen of KFAN. While most of the interview was taken up by Allen making fun of the Packers and Green Bay or complaining about how they would have swept the Packers if Christian Ponder hadn't thrown a ball "right to Morgan Burnett", Finley did have a few interesting comments though, a few of which are below. Finley was first asked about his contra...

The signing of tight end Matthew Mulligan yesterday has brought the Green Bay Packers' crop of tight ends into the forefront of fans' and writers' minds alike. In Mulligan, the team seems to have found a good blocker whose receiving skills have not impressed much. How does that change the dynamic of the position? We'll attempt to answer that question by looking at each player in turn. Jermichael Finley Finley is what he is by this point in his career. It is unlikely that he will ever develop into a player who is thought of highly for his blocking. Packers fans have been frustrated to n...

So the tea leaves are now saying that Jermichael Finley is going to stick with the Packers for the 2013 season despite the inflated nature of his contract. It’s easy to underestimate Finley’s impact on the offense due to the high number of drops and heavy criticism he has received in recent years. Finley has always been a player with tons of potential and a disappointing amount of actual. Despite this, there is still plenty to be excited about with Finley’s return and what he can bring to the offense in 2013. The biggest thing that Finley can bring to the table is the age old "match...

As we get closer to the draft each move the Green Bay Packers make will be scrutinized in order to predict what they may do in the draft. In the case of Jermichael Finley doing nothing is just as good as a move. Now that it looks like Finley is a Packer in 2013, and a rather well paid Packer, what does this mean for the Packers’ draft plans? In all reality keeping Finley does not affect the draft much. Ted Thompson has often been a bit of a wild card in the draft. Some of his moves have been pretty predictable such as drafting a tackle in 2010 (Bryan Bulaga) and an outside lineback...

One of the more important deadlines of this offseason came and went for the Green Bay Packers yesterday. 4:00 PM Eastern Time on Monday was the start of the 15th day of the league year, when tight end Jermichael Finley was owed a $3 million roster bonus; to leave him on the roster through that deadline would have been a sign that Finley would be a member of the Packers in the 2013 season, as cutting him would have a massive negative impact on the salary cap. Well, that's exactly what happened. The Packers did not restructure Finley's deal and they did not release him, which ensures tha...
