Veteran cornerback Cortland Finnegan announced his retirement Wednesday after a nine-year career with the Tennessee Titans, the St. Louis Rams and most recently the Miami Dolphins.

Finnegan posted a message on Instagram to deliver the news of his decision.

Miami cut Finnegan on March 2 in order to save $5.475 million in cap room. Finnegan recorded 44 tackles and zero interceptions in his only season in Miami.

In his Instagram message, Finnegan, 31, also took a parting shot at rival receiver Andre Johnson, with whom the cornerback got into an on-field fight in 2010.

Finnegan was a seventh-round pick of the Titans in 2006. He made one Pro Bowl and finished his career with 645 tackles and 18 interceptions.

What's up with all these players retiring too soon?
