The Facts:
Finley is due a roster bonus of $3.25 million next month and has a cap salary of $8.75 million for 2013. And it doesn't sound like he'd be willing to accept less than that in Green Bay. Here's what Finley said to ESPN's Josina Anderson when asked what would happen if Green Bay asked him to take a pay cut. "I'd have to walk for sure, meaning I couldn't take a pay cut," Finley said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
It's worth nothing that, so far, it doesn't appear the Packers have asked Finley to take a pay cut. The possibility certainly exists considering Finley is set to make more money than James Jones, Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb combined next season. HC Mike McCarthy offered some strong support for Finley last week and by all accounts, the coaches in Green Bay would prefer to have Finley back. But the Packers is torn on what to do with their starting tight end. Comments like this can't help his case.
