Jermichael Finley to visit Seahawks

[BlueBlood]

Prove it, so far he drops the ball, and that is proof.

He is a hand catcher.. Rarely relies on the body to snag passes.. I've seen a lot of packers games and I've wanted this guy for a while so I hope it goes down asap

So, he catches with his hands, and is famous for dropping passes and you WANT him?

I want people that can actually haul it in. Bring this injury prone TE in and let the cream rise to the top.

Yes I want him.

I also agree with the cream rising to the top comment... He's going to be awesome for us and you'll be a happy camper

I just don't see the point really. We already have a great catching TE we don't utilize, why bring in another with injury concerns?? Quite honestly, I'd be okay with us rolling out Willson, McCoy and a rookie/fa next season.. we just don't utilize the TE position in the passing game enough to warrant much else..

 

[Hawkfan77]

Love it. I think Finley would be awesome here

We utilized Miller plenty in 2012. I fully believe we would have again had it not been for the injuries all over the O-Line much of the year requiring Miller to block as much as he did.

The team has been in the hunt for a pass catching TE for the past couple of seasons.

Finley was the guy when the Nike Jerseys were introduced in the NY event that was all over the Seahawks jerseys saying something like they were the best in the league. Hope he signs with us and is healthy sooner than later.

I would like to have him if he can pass the physical.

We have absolutely nobody on the level of Finley what are you smoking dude? >#

Not to say Miller is a better player than Finley, but Miller had more production than Finley while he was in Oakland. Finley had Aaron Rodgers. Miller had Jamarcus Russell.

Lukewarm on Finley. The talent is clearly there, but I've grown tired of hearing every year that this is the season he is going to explode. He shows flashes, but with all this alleged talent, he should have been a lot better when you consider the offense he was in, and who was passing him the ball. Now, he's coming off a horrific injury that nearly ended his career.

That being said, if he's willing to sign a modest 1-2 year deal, it'd be difficult to complain. Low-risk, high-reward.

 

[Hawknballs]

the one positive on finely - his potential ceiling as a pass-catching TE is much much higher than whatever offer we would make him. But the chance that doesn't happen is pretty high too.

 

[MizzouHawkGal]

Not that it necessarily comes to this, but I'm in for signing Finley and cutting Miller if it means keeping Tate.

I really wouldn't count on keeping Tate. And IF okay Finley would be a great signing on a prove it contract.

 

[HAWKAMANIA]

Ugh, Finley? I have a hard time getting excited about ol' butterfingers. And then you consider that spat a couple years ago when he was badmouthing Rodgers' leadership skills and not getting him the ball enough.

 

[HHHTGT]

Willson is a perfectly capable pass catching TE already IN HOUSE. If we cut Miller, fine, I'm good with that. Run with Willson, McCoy and draft a TE or bring in someone other than Finley. I like his play, I just don't know how cheap he is going to be coming in. If it's a small year long prove it deal, good, otherwise, no thanks..

If we can sign Finley for less than Miller, than Miller is likely gone.

If they can get an established pass-catching TE for cheaper, then Miller isn't needed anymore at his current salary.

It doesn't hurt to have another...and when healthy Finley is way better than Willson. Coming off an injury, I have no doubt it will be a cheap prove-it deal
