I hate to spend much time agreeing with Texas, but he's right. Hehehehe.
Our D sucked last year. So why would we want 2 of the big guys up front that were actively involved in the sucking. Younger, faster, cheaper replacements are available.
Finley, ehh. There appear to be adequate replacements on the roster that cost less and talk less. For all of his greatness, he didn't win anything for us. Missed the Super Bowl season (most of) and has continually been hurt. Move on.

What happens if a couple of guys get injured in training camp?
What happens if midway through camp, these young guys don't show the improvements that are expected of them?
I think it's a good idea to have Pickett and Jolly as 2 guys to fall back on if needed.
As much as I like the draft and develop system, sometimes a proven vet, even if he isn't what he used to be, can be an asset to a team.
Finley is a different story, I've stated before, I am in the camp that thinks The Packers will never clear him to play.
