rollow lawson Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 why is Brian Finneran still on the team competing for a job? This dude has not earned his paycheck for two years now. Just asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimusmc Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 those 2 cost quite a bit of money. and our receivers are pretty young. if finn can stay healthy, he can tutor them as horn did white.for WAY cheaper i may add. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statick Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Did Crumpler and Coleman make more money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phattywankenobi Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 They were 5 and 6 M cap hits. Finn has a cap hit of 1.3M. Make sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LADBABY Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 All we knew about Datish was that he was injured andnow he is gone. They must see something of value inFinneran based on his height and reasonable salary. Heis also a solid citizen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gritsnsausage Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Crumpler and Coleman had rather alienated themselves from the "team", in addition tothe $$$$ factor. Finn is fairly inexpensive. Give him through pre-season. He'll eitherproduce, or not. If not, he's gone. If so, he'll probably actually make the roster. LastI checked he could still catch the ball and frankly one of the few receivers who willsacrifice himself in the middle... TEAM player!

NiteFalcon Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I believe there is some rule about cutting players who are on IR, you cant do it without reaching some kind of settlement.Crump was never on IR last year, and i dont believe (but not positive) Coleman was either.

Nolefalcon69 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 If Finn can do what horn did last year for our recievers then thats good enough reason for me to keep him around. Im way cool with sending Horn to the cowboys, or where ever he wasnt to go next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaud Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Money, if Finn was making as much money as Coleman and Crump I'm pretty sure he would be gone by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joremarid Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Well I decided to keep him on the Falcons because I figure we can rehab his knee and get him back to 100% this year.Seriously though, ask the FO, not the fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Duke 6 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I think we had to pat finn regardless because of the injuries so we didnt have to cut him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
