Former Green Bay Packers tight end Jermichael Finley is reportedly a target for the Miami Dolphins once he recovers from his current injury setback.

Finley remains some way from a return to action as he will soon undergo a scan on his neck, but the Miami Herald has claimed that talks have taken place between player and club.

The report has made the link because Finley played for Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin when he was offensive coordinator for the player's former side the Packers.

The Seattle Seahawks were thought to be after him earlier in the off-season, but the injury has seen their interest fade.
