The demise of Jermichael Finley’s football playing days may just have been a bit exaggerated as the 27 year old Tight End attempts to come back from a bruised spinal cord injury he received in week 7 of the 2013 season against the Cleveland Browns.
“Pittsburgh have showed me a couple deals, but we all know the money ain’t what it’s supposed to be,” Finley said Monday. “If I quit the game right now, I can take tax-free money, and that’s a difficult thing that I’m going through with myself …”
The ‘tax-free’ money Finley referred to is a $10 million insurance policy he would be able cash in if he were to never take another snap.
