Problem with Graham is that he tends to disappear when a DB plays physical with him at the LOS. He essentially was a non factor in the two playoff games the Saints had this year. NOT worth two first round picks

I don't know how I feel on his comments. He says they should ban all cursing and wondering why they are just singling out the "N" word. I agree with that but at the same time...I kind of expect these dudes to be a little pro than to drop homophobic slurs or racial slurs. They get paid MILLIONS of dollars to play football.

Cortland Finnegan - DB - Free Agent

Rams released CB Cortland Finnegan.

Finnegan, 30, was due a $3 million roster bonus next Thursday. There was no chance the Rams were going to pay it. He was scheduled to count $10 million against the cap in total. St. Louis clears a much-needed $7 million in cap space with the move. Before landing on injured reserve with a fractured orbital bone in November, Finnegan was getting routinely beat in coverage as the Rams' slot corner. He signed a five-year, $50 million deal ahead of the 2012 season.
