Mike McCarthy Hasn’t Closed Door on Remaining Free Agents

Mike McCarthy

Even though the rest of us pretty much have, Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy says he hasn’t closed the door on the return of the team’s remaining unsigned free agents.

Those guys would be tight end Jermichael Finley and defensive tackles Johnny Jolly and Ryan Pickett.

Yes, all of them.

“No doors are closed yet, and we’ll see what happens,” McCarthy said on The Bill Michaels Show on Friday. “It’s always something that I think you have to be realistic about in the National Football League. I would love to work with all three of those guys again.”

We’re sure McCarthy would love to work with all three guys again, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to happen, barring something unforeseen.

The Packers seem content with their defensive linemen at this point. They’ve clearly decided to go with youth along that front and will hope that guys like Datone Jones, Jerel Worthy and Josh Boyd can step up. They’re also banking on B.J. Raji returning to form and Mike Daniels continuing to improve.

Now, if that plan doesn’t work out or one or two of those guys gets hurt, then we could envision the Packers calling Jolly or Pickett. However, at this point, someone in the organization has obviously closed the door on both of those guys. Finley still has a locker in the Packers locker room, but Jolly’s and Pickett’s have been given to other players.

That’s a sure sign that they’re done in Green Bay.

Finley, on the other hand, seems to be in limbo. He’s received medical clearance to play by the doctor that performed spinal fusion surgery on him, but no team including the Packers has made an offer.

That’s not a great sign.

Meanwhile, the Packers have plenty of tight ends — five guys who have a realistic shot of making the roster this year. That probably puts Finley in the same position as Jolly and Pickett, locker or no.

    The only one I am sorry to lose is Johnny Jolly, just because the guy’s story is a great one (rags to riches to rags to riches), but he may have a chance to catch on somewhere else. Pickett is at the end of his long and successful career – either in GB or somewhere else. Finley has NEVER fulfilled his physical promise, probably because the guy is a bonehead (but that may just be my impression from his off-field antics – I have never met the guy personally). That said, I doubt at this point the light is going to go on for him, and we need to find someone that is going to be consistently great at that position – a weak spot on O since AR has been at the helm. It would be great to have that guy that can consistently do the job in critical 3rd and long situations. GO PACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
