Report: Packers and Jermichael Finley agree to two-year deal
According to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, the Green Bay Packers and tight end Jermichael Finley have agreed to a two-year deal worth $15 million.
Finley, the team's third-round pick in 2008, confirmed the report himself via Twitter:
It's TRUE! Thank you so much to the Packers organization, all of my fans, and my beautiful wife. Happy Bday. Let's GO Packers!! Back soon...

After missing 11 games in 2010, Finley stayed healthy for a full 16-game (17-game if you count the playoffs) season. Although he set career highs in receiving yards (767) and touchdowns (eight) and tied his career high for receptions (55), Finley averaged a three-year low in yards per game (47.9) and had way too many drops.
In our early 2012 fantasy football rankings, Finley is the No. 7 tight end after Rob Gronkowski, Jimmy Graham, Jason Witten, Antonio Gates, Vernon Davis and Aaron Hernandez.
