On Wednesday afternoon, the New England Patriots<\/strong><\/a> worked out retired cornerback Cortland Finnegan, but he left Foxboro unable to reach a contract agreement.<\/p>\n

Finnegan, 31, who formally announced his retirement from the NFL back in March, was another option being reviewed by the Patriots who are actively seeking cornerback help.<\/p>\n

In his final NFL season with the Miami Dolphins in 2014, Finnegan started in 12 games, logging 44 tackles and eight passes defended.<\/p>\n

Finnegan walked away from the NFL with 645 career tackles, seven sacks,\u00a018 interceptions and 86 passes defended over a nine year career with stops in Tennessee (Drafted 215th overall, 7th round), St. Louis, and lastly Miami.<\/p>\n

As @Rand_Getlin said, Patriots had CB Cortland Finnegan in for a workout. Finnegan is open to playing in '15 after saying he was retiring.<\/p>\n
