Cortland Finnegan - DB - Free Agent

Rams released CB Cortland Finnegan.

Finnegan, 30, was due a $3 million roster bonus next Thursday. There was no chance the Rams were going to pay it. He was scheduled to count $10 million against the cap in total. St. Louis clears a much-needed $7 million in cap space with the move. Before landing on injured reserve with a fractured orbital bone in November, Finnegan was getting routinely beat in coverage as the Rams' slot corner. He signed a five-year, $50 million deal ahead of the 2012 season.

No one on this board better want Finnegan on the Vikings.

Bailey is awesome but he's been battling a bunch of injuries and is a liability in coverage now. One year depth deal for vet minimum isn't something I'd fight but I'd guess a contender would love him.

Yeah Kirk, force your religious views on people who didn't ask for it! That'll show them!

He's won a total of one game. I'm good.

Would love it if the Vikings could get Kirk Cousins as QB. You have to respect him.

So...you want the Vikings to trade with the Redskins because he's religious and you agree with his views. Lemme guess, you think Tebow is a great QB too right?

And Lance Moore too. Saints are coming apart and with Jimmy Grahm pissed off to boot. Love to see the Saints drop down

I wonder if the Vikings talked with him at all. If they did, they probably weren't talking four year contract, so might have made the decision easy for him.
