The Packers signed Andrew Quarless on Monday, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Our View: Details of the contract have not been released, but Quarless will be an official member of the team when training camp starts. Jermichael Finley figures to own most of the receptions at tight end, but Quarless is a talented pass-catcher. Still, he won't see much work until his blocking improves.

Now entering his seventh NFL season, Larry Fitzgerald has turned into the mentor and made his hometown of Minneapolis the place for professional pass catchers to be in the weeks before training camp begins in August.

Packers TE Jermichael Finley will workout at Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald's offseason camp with a group of veteran QBs, WRs, TEs and DBs. WR Greg Jennings participated in the camp last season and went over 1,000 yards receiving for the second straight year. Finley had 55 receptions for 676 yards and five TDs last season. Those numbers will almost certainly rise and Finley should become a No. 1 fantasy TE this season....

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that tight end Jermichael Finley sat out Wednesday's practice due to tendinitis in his knee.

Our View: Finley suffered a knee injury mid-way through last season and still isn't 100 percent, so were not ready to write this off as a minor issue just yet. There's still a long way to go before training camp, so he had plenty of time to get healthy, but you'll likely want to monitor his progress if you're thinking about drafting him in fantasy leagues.

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports that Jermichael Finley was "late for about a half-dozen meetings in '09" and missed curfew the night prior to the Packers playoff loss to the Cardinals.

Our View: These are grown men. Do they really need curfews? Apparently, Finley does not. All he did was catch six passes for 159 yards in that loss to the Cardinals. Regardless, it sounds as if Finley may be more dedicated this season, which would certainly help him live up to some preseason hype surrounding him.
