Looks Like Finley is Back for 2013

Question - Who is the second highest paid tight end in the league?

Answer - Jermichael Finley!  Check out the Cheesehead Article -
Jermichael Finley Receives $3 Million Bonus, paid 8.25 millionin 2013!

What do you think?

Here is one ranking I found! - Ranking The Top Ten Tight Ends in the League
1 - Ron Gronkowski
2 - Jimmy Graham
3 - Vernon Davis
4 - Jason Witten
5 - Aaron Hernandez
6 - Jermicael Finley
7 - Antonio Gates
8 - Fred Davis
9 - Jermaine Gresham
10 - Tony Gonzalez

I would put Tony Gonzalez ahead of Finley.  Most places I see Finley somewhere in the middle of the top ten, but again, he is the SECOND highest paid!  As of now, I think he is overpaid.

Also, he still will say dumb things!  Of all the Packers the past few years, Finley has the stupid quotes lead!

He does not seem to make the big play, plus I remember big drops in key situations!

On the bright side?  He is still only 26 years old!  Maybe, this is the break out year!  He does have talent!  He is big & athletic!

Another issue the past few years, there is a lot of competition within the team to share the touches - Jennings, Driver, Nelson, Cobb, Jones, & Finley!  Driver & Jennings are gone!  That may be good for Finley!

All, in all, I think 2013 is the make it, or break it season!  I hope Jermichael has the year!  I hope he matures & becomes a leader!!!
