F.Chowds Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Getty Images Conflicting reports surfaced late this week regarding the Titans’ 2012 franchise tag. NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora said the team would “likely” assign it to free agent cornerback Cortland Finnegan. ESPN’s Adam Schefter insisted that wasn’t happening. If Schefter’s latest report is true, Finnegan definitely won’t be tagged. Citing a league source, Schefter reports that the Titans will “likely” place the franchise tag on free agent safetyMichael Griffin. Whereas Finnegan’s cornerback tag would have cost Tennessee in excess of $10 million, the value of the safety tag is a much more reasonable $6.2 million. NFL teams can’t use two franchise tags in the same year, of course. It looks like Griffin is headed back to Nashville, and Finnegan to the open market.

AFJF Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Any chance we can cut Cro and sign Finnegan? It'd be nice to have two cover CBs who can tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrellegivesmeaboner#24 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I love that people still fight with me about drafting Mark Barron at #16...With the way that these Safeties are flying off the board, he isn't even going to make it to us.
