According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, the Green Bay Packers are currently torn on whether they’re going to keep tight end Jermichael Finley or not.
The Journal Sentinel also learned that the Packers remain torn about the future of polarizing tight end Jermichael Finley.
Sources indicated that Thompson and the coaching staff appear to favor keeping Finley, while other people within the organization, including members of the personnel department, favor his release.
If you asked the Packers early in the 2012 season if they were going to keep Finley, I think the answer would have been “no.” But Finley really settled down and focused during the second half of the season. The main thing he stopped doing was complaining about the Packers’ offense and dropping passes every other pass that was thrown his way.
