The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... The only team that Finley visited during free agency, Seattle, is now out of the chase to sign the tight end, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Sunday, per a source informed of the Seahawks' thinking.
Diehards Line:
While Finley -- a physical freak -- would have been an intriguing addition to Darrell Bevell's offense, the Seahawks will enter 2014 with a depth chart headlined by Zach Miller, Luke Willson and Anthony McCoy. The Green Bay Packers have spoken of being open to Finley's possible return to Lambeau Field. However, the 27-year-old has yet to be tested by the Packers' medical staff -- one of the most cautious in the NFL. Finley was also reported to have met a "mystery team" Friday. Dr. Joseph Maroon, the neurosurgeon who fused the tight end's C3-C4 vertebrae after he suffered a spinal contusion in October, has cleared the 6-5 tight end. However, until a team independently clears him, Finley will remain a talented man without a football job and fantasy football owners will have to look elsewhere for their tight end needs.
