Jermichael Finley wants to return to Packers bad, but needs more tests
Free agent tight end Jermichael Finley says he will undergo another round of medical tests Wednesday and send the results to all 32 teams in hopes of landing on a roster before training camp.
But after a workout Monday afternoon, Finley told USA TODAY Sports he intends to keep being patient and wait for an offer that can compel him to return from spinal surgery, rather than walking away and moving to collect a $10 million insurance policy.
“As long as I wait, you know and I know, guys are going to go down and the money’s going to shoot up,” Finley said, sitting in the weight room at WelleFast Elite Sports Training. “It’s all a waiting game right now.”
USA Today and Pro Football Talk state that the Packers are the most likely destination for Finley if he does in fact return.
