Disgusting.

Bradley Fletcher:



Cortland Finnegan:

 

[Joey007]

Hey if this was 2010 I'd be ecstatic.

Sure wouldn't want him playing against Andre Johnson.

 

[Deus Irae]

Makes sense, given his history of playing man coverage...

 

[PatriotsPimp136]

I rather trade for a corner

 

[dannydyn]

Can't we trade for Revis?

 

[Patriot Missile]

Cortland Innegan. Didn't Andre Johnson beat the F out of him?

Plagiarized from someone on Deadspin. Must be the Borges in me.

 

[PatsFan2]

IF we ain't going the Trade route Cortland Finnegan would be a good option a Body with playing experience.

 

[Kontradiction]

I wouldn't mind bringing him in assuming, of course, that he hasn't completely bit the dust. Veteran depth at a position as thin as CB is never a bad thing.

 

[Joey007]

I would at least give him a shot. It'd be quite the reclamation project.

 

[BradyFTW!]

I've always hated the guy, but he used to have some talent. If the time off has let him recover and get something close to his earlier-career level, then I could see him being worthwhile depth.

 

[Soul_Survivor88]

Why not just trade Dobson to another team, and offer a draft pick to sweeten the deal?

 

[RobertWeathers]

Not interested.

 

[Gronkowski123]

desperation...

 

[reflexblue]

Why not just trade Dobson to another team, and offer a draft pick to sweeten the deal?

I think at this point another team might give us a bag of balls for Dobson. And they'ed be deflated balls.

 

[WaterfallJumper]

No thanks. He's a bit of a punk.

 

[Kontradiction]

No thanks. He's a bit of a punk.

Who still has something left in the tank and, apparently, the team thinks can be coached. This is veteran depth at CB. I'm not going to say no.

 

[Dagg]

Not opposed to it seems a few years to late to the party...

QUESTION 1
Do we need a 5th corner more than a 7th S or a 6th DT?

QUESTION 2
Is Finnegan an upgrade over our current #5 CB?

==========
I would sign Finnegan if Patricia thinks he has anything to add, cut Thornton, and have Finnegan inactive until he can beat out Melvin for reps. I would also continue to look for opportunities to upgrades of our corners.
