Lions Have Interest In Titans CB Cortland Finnegan?

Carlos Monarrez of the Detroit Free Press reports that a league source has mentioned that the Detroit Lions โ€œcouldโ€ have interest in signing Titans CB Cortland Finnegan. Monarrez also lists the Rams, Cowboys, Raiders, 49ers, Buccanners and Jaguars as other possibilities.

Monarrezโ€™s sources have said that Finnegan will be looking for a five or six year that will pay him an average of $10 million per season and lists Jonathan Josephโ€™s recent  five-year, $48.75 million contract as a comparable deal.

So far, Lions head coach Jim Schwartz has brought in Kyle Vanden Bosch and Stephen Tulloch since taking the job in Detroit so itโ€™s really not surprising to see the Lions mentioned as a possibility for Finnegan considering that theyโ€™re in need of help at the cornerback position.

Itโ€™s hard to say what the Titans plan is at this point but I doubt that theyโ€™re not considering using their franchise tag on one of their best players. Thereโ€™s still time to get a deal done between them but itโ€™s looking like Finnegan may have a shot to hit the open market.
