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.

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Sooooooo many penalties

Mucky Tundra (13h) : It may only be preseason, but this game is a trip to the dentist

TheKanataThrilla (21h) : NFL Network is broadcasting the game tonight, but not in Canada. Not sure why as no local television is showing the game.

beast (8-Aug) : But the Return from IR designations had to be applied by the 53 man cutdown.

beast (8-Aug) : It's a new rule, so it's not clear, but my understanding was that they could be IR'd at any time

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (8-Aug) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Zero- Did you see what I posted about Voice of Reason and his wife? She posted over at fleaflicker that they are both "In"

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : it's crazy how one stored procedure to get data bogged everything down for speed here

dfosterf (7-Aug) : to herd cats or goldfish without a bowl. They reminded me of the annual assembly of our fantasy league

dfosterf (7-Aug) : out on a field trip, outfitting them with little yellow smocks. Most of the little folk were well behaved, but several were like trying

dfosterf (7-Aug) : Yesterday my wife and I spent the afternoon on the waterfront here in Alexandria, Va. A daycare company took about 15 three/four year olds

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Sure does feel like site is more snappy

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : I thought that was the Lions OL

Mucky Tundra (6-Aug) : Travis Glover placed on IR; seasons over for him

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : found bad sql in database, maybe site faster now?

dfosterf (5-Aug) : I'm going to call that a good move.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Hey i didn't know we could trade picks in fantasy

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Update: Rock has tried a cheese curd, promises it's not his last
