As for Finney being a consistently good pass blocker when he was in SEA, how do you mean? He played 0 snaps on offense in his half year as a Seahawk. They have him as having played only 29 snaps for Seattle, all of them on special teams, and then they used him as a salary dump.

Before that he was a backup for Pittsburgh, and I don't trust Pittsburgh OL numbers as far as I can throw their 330lb players what with all the constant holding they get away with.

As for Finney making it to FA, I am all but positive that he will, because I don't think the Packers even have the ability to franchise tag him right now. The Packers are currently slated to have -$22.5m in cap space for 2021 with only 41 people under contract.

That's what happens when the cap is projected to drop to $175m, and Aaron Rodgers has a 2021 cap hit of $36.4m alone and their two OLBs and LT combine for another $57.8m in cap hits... and none can be cut because they are all three at the start of their contracts so cutting would just increase their cap hit for 2021 by a ton.

The Packers aren't going to be doing much of anything this offseason as far as signing guys for more than league minimum goes.

Sorry, I assumed he was a Seahawk his entire career prior to coming to CIN. Apparently he was with PIT. So his experience was when he was a Steeler.
