The Facts: Although the Seahawks have dropped out of the chase for Finley, several teams are lining up to take their place. The New England Patriots hosted Finley for a visit last Friday. The Packers still envision the tight end playing in Green Bay if his surgically repaired neck checks out. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Oakland Raiders have also shown interest in Finley.
Diehards Line:
Rapoport adds that the free agent has visited the Steelers' facility and has been cleared by their team doctor, who also doubles as Finley's doctor. As NFL.com notes, Finley has never lacked for suitors. The question is whether any doctor besides his own will clear him to play and whether any forthcoming offers will override a $10 million insurance policy that will kick in if Finley never plays football again. ... And we'll continue to stress, fantasy football owners' interest should be tied to his signing.
