On-topic: Great deal made by both sides here. A short contract giving Finley a good amount of time to prove if he is a top tier TE (which he is and will be), possibly setting him up for an even better contract at age 26. The perfect amount of money for the Packers to offer so they aren't breaking the bank for one player and also can take more time to develop other TE's below Finley.

I really, really like this deal. Its the off-season and news like this is just great to have. Both sides are happy and now new options open up.

Off-topic: Who gets the franchise tag now? (may as well include this into the convo since Finley was a main option for many of us as the tagged player). Philbin was dodging Matt Flynn questions at the the combine. What's there to dodge Joe? :-"

On-Topic on the above Off-Topic: The Franchise and Transition tags do not need to be used and I don't see anyone worth either tag currently.
Off-Topic: why is the additional line titled "Methodikal" on this thread?

This deal is a win win for both parties.. we get Finley at an average TE number with an out next season if he can't fix the drop issue. Finley over the two seasons gets a over average deal and still can hit the open market in his prime.. if he fixes his issues.. can one say PAYDAY.

Excellent player to force matchup issues... but if he can't be relied upon to secure the catch, then he isn't worth premiere money.

He was in contract year. He was predicted to be the next great thing by so many ... I kind of think it all just wore his focus down. I lean towards this because I don't remember him having dropsies before.

Let's not forget he still owes Rock a glove. Which, with compound interest, should have grown to a authentic jersey by now. He can't leave the Packers until he pays that debt off.
