Obviously Jermichael Finley would rather a long term extension with the Packers. Even with that said, he's okay with getting slapped with the franchise tag.

If they do that, I’m down with that. I ain’t going to be pissed off. I just love the game, and I was just blessed to be making money. I’m just taking it all in.

You can’t ask for a better city just because there’s nothing to do, for one thing. I’m going to be real with you, there’s less trouble you can get into. It’s first class in everything they do — contracts, around the building — everything’s first class.

Jermichael Finley has not had the expected astonishing numbers this season. After 7 games Jermichael Finley has 25 catches for 334 yards and four touchdowns (3 came against the Bears in one game). Surely the low numbers are reflective of all of the Packers weapons, rather than Finley's talent.

At least Finley has been healthy all seven games.

I heard that the team was afraid to tag him, because they thought he would cause a distraction..Sorry, no link, just someone with knowledge told me

This might be his way of telling them, hey tag me, I will be good

Good info. That makes sense. I was actually curious to why he'd come out and say that, unless directly asked.

I would think saying "hey ill take the tag" would take a bargaining chip away from the negotiation discussions. Now the Packers know if they don't come to an agreement on a long term deal, they can just slap a franchise tag on him and try again later.

He wants to earn two rings and then go fleece Jerrah for the $$$$. I have no problem with that. Would like to see him stick around for the dynasty but a man needs to do what he needs to do.

Should Finley walk in 2013 - it would probably be in the Packers best interest to go get one of those 6-5 posession receivers.

Remember we got Gurley on the PS, as far as 6-5 possession WRs. And we got loads of talent at TE. Also nice to see Finley's got the talking points down. Heheh.

I'm glad he feels that way, but say that when the season is over, not during it. C'mon now. I like Finley a lot, but sometimes I wish he'd just shhh. He's been getting better with the mouth though, I'll give him that.

I was glad to hear this from Finley. He said way more than he needed to say about the Packers. It sounds genuine to me. His production hasn't been enormous, but it's still very good for a TE, and he's drawing double coverage at times. I think he will have a very big second half of the season.

The franchise tag is not expensive for TEs. I'm guessing he'd make more without the tag. It's really a no brainier. I know he hasn’t had the numbers everybody thought, but he’s still putting up a ridiculously good season for a TE. He is on pace for 57 receptions, 700-plus yards, and 9 TDs. There is no shame in that.

What's up with the "nothing to do in Green Bay" statement all the time? There are things to do, but apparently not things that Finley or others want to do.

Fan Shout
beast (8m) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years
Zero2Cool (6h) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.
packerfanoutwest (6h) : well this is his last season with the PAck, book it
beast (7h) : Sounds like no Alexander (again), I'm wondering if his time with the Packers is done
Zero2Cool (14h) : Could ban beast and I still don't think anyone catches him.
Mucky Tundra (26-Dec) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore
packerfanoutwest (25-Dec) : Feliz Navidad!
Zero2Cool (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas!
beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won
Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!
Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol
buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier
buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol
Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???
Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?
bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.
bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?
bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference
Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network
beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.
bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed
Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno
beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?
packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : dammit. 3:25pm
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm
Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground
Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Yeah baby!
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.
beast (23-Dec) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.
packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?
