Finnegan could join other ex-Titans in Detroit

[.infamous]

Defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch and linebacker Stephen Tulloch both followed Jim Schwartz from Tennessee to Detroit.

Perhaps Cortland Finnegan will be the next player to make the journey.

Carlos Monarrez of the Detroit Free Press has a league source that says the Lions “could” be one of the key teams interested in Finnegan if the Titans let him walk away. Other possibilities mentioned: St. Louis, Dallas, Oakland, San Francisco, Atlanta, Tampa Bay and Jacksonville.

Finnegan is reportedly looking for a deal similar to the five-year, $48.75 million contract Johnathan Joseph got last year.

The Titans have yet to negotiate with Finnegan, but does that really mean anything? We’ve seen a lot of reports that a team has yet to negotiate with players. We’re still a month away from free agency; that’s fairly standard. Teams haven’t finalized their free agent gameplan yet.

It doesn’t make sense for the Titans to just let Finnegan walk away. Even though they haven’t talked contract with him yet, the franchise tag has to be an attractive option for the team.

That would be a nice addition to get started on improving the secondary.

Was thinking about this since he hit the market. That'd be nice.

Jonathan Joseph is WAY better than he is, would be an awful signing if you give him the money he's looking for.

This.

Finnegan is mad overrated.

 

[elcheato]

He certainly fits the mold of being dirty

Finnegan had one good year, thats it.

I heard about this since he's been on the market because of Schwartz and he'd be joining former teammates and that. If we were able to get him to sign for less than what he's asking for, which is a big if, that's fine. I'd prefer we go for a cheaper option. I don't think that highly of him.

If you guys lose Avril because you go after Finnegan, it would be a huge mistake

 

[RipCity32]

I don't think we will lose Avril. I think we franchise tag him if we can't reach an agreement.

Stupid Lions steal erryone from the Titans.

 

[RipCity32]

Schwartz is that dude

 

[TTN2810]

It's just as well. Finnegan has sucked since Schwartz left.
