Of course, he was asked about his contract situation and if there has been any progression. “Nothing new,’ Finley said. “It’s the NFL. It’s a business right now. I don’t even know what’s going on. You’ve just got to play that game. I don’t know anything and just hope for the best.” Finley gave a firm endorsement of Tom Clements being promoted from quarterbacks coach to offensive coordinator. “It’s awesome,” Finley said. “Tom, he’s one of those guys that details his craft. He’s going to be a good one. As you can see, he developed ARod to a great quarterback. You want people who have been there around you the whole time. Chemistry, too, it’s big in the NFL. Hopefully, I can sign with the Packers so I can experience that.” Source: Green Bay Press Gazette (http://blogs.greenbaypressgazette.com/blogs/gpg/insider/2012/02/03/finley-no-news-on-conract/)

Silverstein has calulated the Packers would have to fit in the $14 million one-year tender for Flynn by releasing players.

The Green Bay Packers quarterback tops a list that, not surprisingly, is quarterback heavy. He edged out New England’s Tom Brady, Indianapolis’ Peyton Manning, New Orleans’ Drew Brees and Denver newcomer Tim Tebow for the top spot. Interstingly, Brady received more first-place votes than Rodgers, whose profile has taken off somewhat in the last few months with the State Farm commercials he is in. New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning comes in seventh, one spot behind the top-ranked defensive player – Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu. Panthers rookie quarterback Cam Newton is eighth.

It was that kind of year for the reigning Super Bowl MVP, as seemingly everything he touched turned to gold during the Green Bay Packers’ 15-1 campaign. With 413½ votes from our pool of 632 NFL players, coaches and executives, Rodgers won handily over second-place Drew Brees (112 votes). NFC North opponents were left doing a double-take while trying to slow Rodgers, a seventh-year pro.

So don’t expect a similar staff raid like when Tony Sparano was hired by the Dolphins, and lured numbers members of Bill Parcells former Dallas staff to Miami according to Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. That type of staff raiding his frowned upon in Green Bay, which perceives itself as a family more than a franchise. “Off limits,” one of the sources claimed. “Joe’s going to be building the core of his staff from outside.” Philbin skipped attending the Senior Bowl to get his family moved to Miami, and to hire his staff of assistants.

Last year there was plenty of speculation that Grant could be released following the rise of James Starks and the fact that they used their third-round pick on Alex Green. Instead, Grant agreed to a pay cut and remained with the Packers which proved to be a wise decision as Green was lost for the season and Starks battled through injuries for a portion of the year. Brandon Saine looked good despite his limited role so it will be interesting to see how their backfield rounds out next season.

Outside linebackers coach Kevin Greene told Dan Pompei of the National Football Post that he never has seen a player get double and triple teamed as much as Matthews was this year. “You get a tight end chipping you, a back coming off the edge, a tackle, and then a guard fanning your way,” he said. The reason, obviously, is the Packers had no one else who could take advantage of singles. Dom Capers subsequently ended up dropping Matthews more and taking him out of what he does best—rushing the passer. Matthews still played at a very high level in 2011, but he needs a pass rush partner for the Packers to be a better defense.

Miami needs a quarterback and it just so happens that Philbin coached one of best available options while in Green Bay. Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald writes that the Dolphins do have interest in Flynn but added that they’re not assuming that he’ll sign with the team simple because they brought in his former offensive coordinator to be their head coach. There will be a number of teams interest in Flynn if the Packers choose not to franchise him. Already we’ve heard that the Redskins and Browns have interest and the Seahawks could also check in on him at some point.
