Skinsinparadise Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Imagine if the Eagles signed him? Been reading they want a top corner to play along side Samuel. One fallacy that some have is that our division rivals just build through the draft but it simply isn't true. They sign free agents all the time, Asante Samuel among them. Our division rivals though rarely trade picks for players, IMo that's the main difference. But IM we have to use FA. FA hasn't per se been a total loser for us, imagine the team without guys like London Fletcher? to me the losing play is trading picks for players.

NavyDave Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Asomugha going to the iggles would be a nightmare. Danny might have to use an executive order to sign the guy giving us a solid shutdown corner with hands. And a gambler on the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkhorse472 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Here's one of the few free agents who might be worth signing to a big contract. Pros: - Nnamdi is a shut-down corner PERIOD - He's a character guy...don't let playing for the Raiders fool you. He honestly loves being part of the community and putting his time and money into his charities of choice. - He's super-smart (I like quoting Gibbs) - He's played with D.Hall before - We don't want him going to any other NFC East team Cons: - He's been injured (this is the only thing that gives me pause) - If we bring in another high-priced CB, will D Hall be ok with it? Will there be any "here we go again" attitude from the team? - We need more than just a CB to strengthen the team, so how will it affect the cap? 50/50 His age is not that big of a concern to me. When did Charles Woodson go to the Packers? I thought he was done when he went there. Then he has a couple of outrageous seasons. But with the injuries to Nnamdi, age will be a factor in healing.

BKSkinsFan Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 The only thing that scares me away is he will be signing a record deal. I'd much rather have a guy like Jonathon Joseph, Ike Taylor, or Antonio Cromartie then have cap space to go after real needs on the D like Lamarr Woodley, David Harris, Antoine Bethea, and Chris Hoke. Those additions would make our 3-4 a beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cphil006 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 good points. We don't really NEED him with Rogers and Hall and even a nickel like Buchanan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spear Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 We need more guys that can string a sentence together on this team. We have too many dummies, goofballs, and lunkheads to be successful, so I wouldn't mind making an exception to the age/salary guidelines for Nnamdi.

sportjunkie07 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 heres a simple way to look at it, an elite player coming to free agency can basically choose his team: if said player chooses a team with a shot at a championship it is because he wants to win, and will most likely be dedicated to doing whatever is necessary to win. if said player chooses a crappy team it is because he wants money, and most likely his full dedication will not be there. though this is not the case 100% of the time, it is usually. this is has been a problem with the skins over the years.

Dance04 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I am all for signing Asomugha. I even wrote about him in my blog. Maybe it will convince some of u guys who don't want to sign him http://ryansmindonsports.blogspot.com/2010/11/nfls-most-underrated-player.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tris Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Second he is a guy who excels playing press man while we tend to play more off man and zone. Not sure he is a great fit schematically for what we do then you add in he is 30 and will cost a fortune. Great player but I would like to see us build from the front to back and inside out on defense. Spend that cash on a NT and RDE in free agency and look for an OLB in the draft. That's my view. Not sure how many times we can gloss over the fact that a big name FA who is 30 and older and not a schematic fit, simply because he is a big name. The collective intelligence of this fan base has been supremely damaged by the past decade. It's going to take years for people to stop thinking in this knee jerk, quick fix manner.

NoCalMike Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Asomugha, at 30 years old is the type of player a Wildcard playoff team should be signing to get them over a gap. The 'Skins have far too many holes, especially up front on the D-line for a signing like that to make too huge of an impact. We need to find a way to get consistent pressure on the QB, before anyone in the secondary is going to matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visionary Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I wonder if the Saints will make a play at him, considering how their pass defense did yesterday, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Probos Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I honestly don't want the highest paid defensive player in history. We've already had that and look what happened. Enough with over priced FA's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetus Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 i say if we can get him for a reasonable price and not AH92 money then go for it and if rogers wants to stay since he like playing nickel which is likely he will with hall and asomugha on the roster and ll30 in the back with kareem or whomever then the secondary is set lets get an olb and a nt and i think our d will increase amazingly.... this is all hope though now lets get another ot or og and qb to develop and give it 2-3 years sb bound PLEASE!

HigSkin Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 ign Rogers for what we think he's worth or let him walk. I can't believe how many talented CB's will be FA, if we have a FA period (no CBA). It doesn't hurt to look at guys like Asomugha, Joseph (Bills), Grimes (Atl), etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madison Redskin Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I, for one, think it'd be the first very high price free agent acquisition that would actually turn out well for us. Isn't that what Redskins fans say every time they want to sign a top tier free agent? They complain about Synder and then pray for us to sign just about every big-name free agent on the market. For example, I first joined this board when we signed Haynesworth. I railed against the signing, but I think about 90% of this board was wholly in favor of signing him. I like Nnamdi, but he's going to get paid for what he did over the past five years, not what he will do over the next five years. Since he's going to be 30 years old, that means he's going to get overpaid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsTribeVA Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 If this had been an 8-8 season in which our defense performed decently, I'd say let's absolutely go for Nnamdi-- he might be the player to put us over the top. But we're a couple years away from having a really good D and a competitive team, and he's 30 and is going to be the highest paid non-QB in history. As much as I love Nnamdi, I vote pass. If we do end up signing him though, I won't be upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEAUX SAINTS Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 I wonder if the Saints will make a play at him, considering how their pass defense did yesterday, lol. We've got some really underrated CB. Jabari Greer was one of the best last season and slumped this season but still very solid, Tracy Porter is still young and has shown a lot of potential, Randle Gay was put on IR mid-season, Patrick Robinson (32 pick in 2010) has shown flashes, Malcolm Jenkins (probowl caliber FS) can also play CB but was injured last week so he didn't play and Leigh Torrence is a solid enough backup. Not enough of a need to spend +50 million when our dline is still mediocre and plenty of FA to resign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilco_holland Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I like to see him in NY as a Jet. Revis and Asomugha....Brady against that secondary would be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinC Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I like to see him in NY as a Jet. Revis and Asomugha....Brady against that secondary would be fun. If there is a salary cap there is no way you can afford to have the two highest paid corners in the NFL. If the cap does come back anything is possible I guess if the owner has deep enough pockets.

CommanderDOOM Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 According to STATS LLC, Asomugha was targeted on just 33 pass attempts this season. He allowed 13 completions for 205 yards and no touchdowns, burnishing his reputation as a shutdown cornerback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was never that excited for Taylor, though I was stupidly in the camp that thought it was necessary. I think McNabb can still help a team out there, so I don't feel bad supporting him coming here. I think London was a top tier free agent, and strongly supported him as the best acquisition that year. I'm proud of that. Who else? You can't just lump everyone into one pile. I support the coaches, and try to be positive, but I rarely openly support free agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
