One of the DBs that I feel we have over looked this terribly long off season is Cortland Finnegan. Lets look at some of his stats....

When I look at Cortland's stats the first thing that jumps out is his tackles. He had 100 combined tackles in 2010, thats 74 more than Asante! He immediately would bring a physical presence to our D and complete our typical CB duo that we've had for years.
His Interception numbers are average which is fine. We' have never really had two INT machines at CB, one pick monster, and one hitter.
Physicals: 5'-10''------188lbs------27 yrs old-----4.33 40 yd dash-------Benched 225 14 times---------44'' vertical
Again average sized corner who has proved that he can be a physical presence on the field even at 188lbs. He has the speed the run down field with receivers and be a threat when the ball is in his hands. Also not a lot of tread on the tires, still pretty young.
Shit who am I kidding...I just want him so he'll beat the shit out of NFC East receivers
Imagine a divisional receiver in each of these...especially Dez Bryant
