Looks Like Finnegan WILL Hit Market

[lp4ever41]

Edit: He will not be hit with the tag.

Also...

The Lions will reportedly apply the franchise tag to DE Cliff Avril on Monday, "barring a late breakthrough in talks."

Grimes and Branch won't be the only DB to get tagged. 49ers plan to tag S Dashon Goldson and Titans likely to tag CB Courtland Finnegan

So far, it looks like Avril, Finnegan, Grimes, Branch, Goldson, D-Jax, Rice, Forte, Bowe, Lynch, Brees/Colston/Nicks, Welker, Spencer, Mathis, V-Jax and Tampa's kicker are all getting tagged. Lots of cap space gone with those tags.

Rams aren't going to trade picks for a guy AND pay him a ton of money too. They're not a contender, it makes no sense. They need youth.

The Rams can grab a CB in the draft like Claiborne, Kirkpatrick, or Jenkins after trading down. I guess its possible but I don't see it.

Kalil to Rams.....write it in STONE.

Rams are not staying at 2, he's gone by 3.

That's why pencils have erasers...and stones have uhhh...dynamite.

the Rams letting Llyod walk ? if so should I pencil in Blackmon ? or do they fuck the Bucs and take Claiborne ?

I guess first it depends on their trade partner which from what I read is: Browns, Skins in that order.

They drop to the Browns and I think its Claiborne. BPA, good combine, Fisher likes a good D. They probably grab a WR like Alshon with the Browns second first.

They drop to the Skins and I think its Blackmon. He's dropped a bit due to his measurables, I guess, because he is 6'0 and 3/4 or something like that.

Any thoughts on that scenario?

Yeah. Damn you, Jason LaCanfora

LaCanfora concedes he should have said "possibly" rather than "likely" when discussing the viability of the franchise tag for CB Cortland Finnegan.
