The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... For the Packers, it’s business as usual. And right now, their firm and steady pursuit of Greg Jennings has a direct effect on another player. The longer the Packers wait out Jennings, the worse Finley’s situation becomes. The team has told the TE that he’s on the roster and GM Ted Thompson has not asked Finley to take a pay cut. But Finley’s camp is in limbo. If Green Bay is able to land Jennings -- whenever that is -- there’s a good chance the Packers circle back to Finley and ask him to take less money or release him.

Diehards Line:As Journal Sentinel staffer Tyler Dunne suggests, the market for tight ends may be dry by that time. Hours into free agency, tight ends cashed in. Jared Cook signed with the Rams at $35.1 million over five years ($19 million guaranteed). Martellus Bennett inked a deal with Chicago at $20 million over four years. Delanie Walker, who caught 21 passes last season, reached a four-year, $17.5 million deal with the Titans. One by one, teams are taking care of that position. One source told Dunne that on Tuesday morning the Packers told Finley’s camp they planned on keeping him for now and haven’t thought too far ahead. Translation: There’s other business to take care of first. Finley has stated multiple times he'd like to stay with the Packers, but his camp would obviously like a more definitive answer, too. He is currently set to make $8.25 million in 2013. For now, however, Finley is being kept on hold.
