The Green Bay Packers saw wide receiver Greg Jennings sign with the rival Minnesota Vikings, but have no plans to part ways with tight end Jermichael Finley.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports the Packers are fine with keeping Finley, even at his current salary of $4.45 million for the year.
Finley would earn that plus a $3 million roster bonus that is due to him on March 27. The team was to consider making him a take a pay cut to stay, but he now has more value to Green Bay. The Packers need Finley to deliver as a bigger part of their passing game now that Jennings and tight end Tom Crabtree (Buccaneers) have left.
The athletic receiver will be 26 on March 26 and coming off his two strongest seasons. If Finley can show that he can shake off his problems with drops and be more efficient with his production, he would be in line to cash in even more when becomes a free agent again next offseason.
