“I mean there’s a couple of teams I would love and would be on the first flight out to play with but like I said the Packers are going to come at me with something and I’m going to go to them first and see what they’ve got and if it’s not I would love to be on the first flight out to good old Seattle,” Finley said.

Whether the Seahawks land Finley or not, the notion that the Seahawks have become a magnet for free agents is very good news for a team that could remain a contender for years to come.

And so it begins.

Finley won't be the last one that wants to play up here. Word is out.

He could be a bargain, with his injury/concussion history.

But damn dude, let's talk about the Superb Owl!

I heard this also.... interesting.

COMPETE!

If he could get his head straightened out he is a top 5 receiving TE in the NFL. God that is awesome to hear. We have officially become the Patriots of the early 2000's where a lot of high profile players want to play for us just to be a part of 'the team.'

I'd love to sign him but Miller's contract is very reasonable next year and is a fantastic blocking TE while Luke Willson is being groomed into the next stud for us. I don't really see a spot for him unless our FO wants to cut ties with Zach.

Saw a segment on NFL network that was featuring Sherman, it had one aslepct that showed and said that players are texting, tweeting or whatever Sherm asking if Carroll is really that cool and if having fun in practice was true, answer was yes yes.

Seems that FA's are already testing the waters. I'll wager that a lot of other players are getting these as well.

He's going to want too much money. We need to save that salary cap money for Wilson, Sherman, & Thomas..

rpmischris · Jan 31, 2014

Sign him to a one year deal like Bennett and let him ComPete

Hawks46 · Jan 31, 2014

The best thing about this is that players also know they're not going to break the bank here.

Bennett and Avril have already proven that guys can get paid a fair amount, but not get the fattest contracts. Pete has created an environment that players love, and at the end of the day...all these guys want to win. And we're the best spot for that.

No state income tax certainly has to help.

Drops Finley? His money will be spent elsewhere.

hoxrox · Jan 31, 2014

Players wanna play for Pete!

Must... wait... three more days... before... rosterbating...

Argh! I can't hold it in anymore. I think Jared Allen will be a Seahawk this March, and if the Steelers axe Troy Polamalu to get out of his $8.25 million cap hit, I think he'll be on the first flight to Seattle as well. Cleanup on aisle three!

Course, we are going to lose some guys. Rice and Clemons are obvious cap casualties, with Bryant and Miller being in play. I think Seattle will have the flexibility to go after some value free agents, and usually the best bang for the buck FAs are defensive players over 30. Finley though? It's cool that he wants to come here, but I don't think he really fits what the Seahawks do.

He must not know that we do not throw to TEs

ASuperForce · Jan 31, 2014

I'd rather keep McCoy at a reasonable rate if he's healthy and I doubt Finley would take much less than Miller, who might be cut because of how much he makes.

m0ng0 · Jan 31, 2014

no thanks! Zach will restructure his deal, and I kinda like Willson

Sure would be nice for Zach to "step into the spotlight" Sunday...he's done it before!

I'm curious as to what you think Polamalu's role would be, or what role he'd like to take, if he came here, what with ET and Kam and everything.

Missing_Clink · Jan 31, 2014

Thats awesome. Love to see that free agents view Seattle as a premier destination.

plyka · Jan 31, 2014

Please bring me Finley on a platter. He is a TE on Graham's level. Same type of big, fast, great hands --almost a massive WR. I would rate him as Graham, Julius Thomas, Vernon Davis, Gronk, etc. --that type of TE. He is very good. His only downfall is that he is Percy Harvin like injury prone. But that may be good news, due to his injuries and thus his sub par production this year, he should come at a great deal like price.
