The Titans are one of the shrinking number of NFL franchises that have yet to slam the door on signing receiver Terrell Owens.
Cornerback Cortland Finnegan has spared the front office the trouble.
In an appearance on 104.5 The Zone’s 3 Hour Lunch, Finnegan fielded a question about the possibility of T.O. landing in Nashville.
“No,” Finnegan said, even before the question had ended. “No. I don’t . . . no. No. No. Not gonna happen. Jeff Fisher wouldn’t allow it. The guys . . . no. He wouldn’t be part of the Tennessee . . . no. I’m just gonna say ‘no’ and just keep on pushing.”
Last week, Panthers linebacker Jon Beason offered up similar sentiments about Owens, a day before reversing course. A difference? Beason and Owens are represented by the same agent, Drew Rosenhaus. Finnegan isn’t.
