Packers tolerate TE Finley's candid delivery

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Green Bay tight end Jermichael Finley isn't shy about saying what's on his mind.

The third-year player from Texas said during the offseason that he wants to be the highest-paid tight end in the NFL. He raised eyebrows and drew some criticism for bragging about Super Bowl plans for the team this season.

The Packers tolerate Finley's brashness as long as he backs it up on the field.

Coaches said Thursday that they like Finley's enthusiasm, energy and confidence.

Packers coach Mike McCarthy also says veteran receiver Donald Driver still has a nagging calf injury and may not play in Saturday's preseason opener against Cleveland.
