Green Bay Packers tight end Jermichael Finley is set to hit the open market when free agency begins on Tuesday, and he is already receiving interst from plenty of teams around the league. While Finley is awaiting medical clearance from neck surgery, reports indicate as many as five teams have already show interest.

Finley is an intriguing option for any team looking to add a pass catching threat at tight end, but the Chiefs could present one of the more interesting fits.

Kansas City would benefit from adding weapons to the offense during the offseason, and a player like Finley would provide a safety net underneath for quarterback Alex Smith.
