I have to say $50MIL is way too much for a corner that isn’t an All Pro caliber player.

way to overpay Finnegan. he’s not worth $10 million. Looks like the Rams have all of the Titans’ leftovers. also looks like the Rams with Fisher will be another mediocre team!

Great addition hopefully he dosen’t get in to another fight with Andre Johnson but is a shut down corner and is the 3rd best player in free agency

At least the new owner is willing to pour money into the team to win and not be in a perpetual rebuilding phase.

I thought he would land in Detroit but Lions have salary cap issues

When I think of that guy, I think of Andre Johnson ripping off his helmet and pummeling him with his fists.

Now if only Sam Bradford could get his act together. This maybe a good team.

Now that they don’t have to worry about Corner they can draft Blackmon if available

Finny is more than serviceable.(versatile) Now that he is in camp, Rams are BPA during draft

Seriously? He is a Nickel CB at best and StL gives him Asomugha money?

2011: Asoumugha gets 5 yrs/$60million w $25million guaranteed.

And that was an uncapped year!

I’m guessing the Rams had to fork out above market money to get a legit player to sign.

Too old for rebuilding Rams. Will be washed up in 3-4 years when they finally start threatening for the division.

2 Things:

1) Apparently you get $50 million as a consolation prize every time you get a beat down from Andre Johnson

2) Brandon Carr is gonna get PAID SON!

All players are overpaid. So get the good ones and let the owners sort it out. Ram’s are on right path.

I’m a Cowboys fan and I was optimistic about him signing for them, but $10,000,000 a year? Nnamdi got $12 mil and he, frankly, wasn’t worth that money with Philadelphia. Too expensive, and although he’s a good corner, there’s no way he can live up to that contract.

$50 Million for Finnegan?? c’mon now….

For an undersized and physical corner, he’s on the down-slope of his career. Way too much money for him. One more good season and he’s cooked (or moving to safety).

14 interceptions over six seasons. You don't say. That's a blistering 2.3 picks per season, coupled with one sack and a half of a forced fumble. All in one season??!?!! How did he escape Tennessee to be able to fleece an obviously desperate and deprived organization? What a douche.

He reminds me of Eric Davis. He’s a good player, not sure about this deal until I see the actual numbers. Rams better put a bigger corner on Moss though.

Rogers isn’t going to get the big deal he wants and might end up back here is SF unless the 9ers get Carr or Wright first.

As a Rams fan I’m pretty happy with this move but most would agree..they are paying him way too much!

That’s a ton of money for a guy who plays on the right side. Rams needed to sign a corner bad though, and with his attitude at the very least that D will have some fight in them.

Finnegan was not the #1 corner on PFT’s Hot 100 Free Agency List. That would be jar-jar Ladarius Webb.

Last time Finny got a contract he took it easy the next season.

Best of luck Rams. Hope you get a FULL five years out of Finnegan.

He was voted to be one of the team leaders this last season with the Titans yet we saw very little leadership.
