I think Finnegan on the market suppresses Rogers' value and makes him a bit cheaper.

Finnegan has played one year less and has better numbers than Rogers. I vote No

He's got a great attitude, and that feistyness would only add to our defenses brute mystique, but overall I like Rogers and his veteran leadership in the secondary. A leader cant go get a PI foul or in a fistfight then be taken seriously when trying to enforce error-free play in the defensive huddle...look at the lions D and how they fell apart once personal fouls got an attitude of acceptance. I would be down to try and land both so we would have the most insane 4-2-5 defense on 3rd and longs haha. Do it Baalke!

Uh, the Titans don't want you Mr. Finnegan because you're a douchebag. Could that be it, slapdick?

I'd rather stay with Rogers. But if we lose Rogers then Finnegan is fine.

Although Finnegan is a talented/amazing athlete, Cortland is a class-less scumbag who cannot control his emotions on or off the field (and has cost the Titans a lot of games on that D due to his attitude, which is why he's not wanted back).

-Cortland is the type of player that will turn 3rd & 23 into 1st & goal for an opposing offense due to a boneheaded DPI penalty.

Rogers but not by much. I think Rogers plays smarter.

What about Brandon Carr CB of K?. I think he is 25-26 and is a solid player on a terrible D?

He's better at getting mushed by Andre Johnson.

Id rather have Rogers almost purely because Finnegan annoys me
