Seriously, where does everyone expect this cat to land. For every post you hear about teams pursueing Nnamdi Asomugha, there is one that follows stating the team doesnt stand a chance. Where can afford him and where is he likely to land??

I am betting a NFC team, close to a title, say a Dallas, or Philly.

Dark horse for me is Detroit...who are closer than some think

Love the dark horse. Lions just had Suh step in and be Big Time............ Nick Fairley DT
was a great Draft pickup and the Lions was an excellent place for him to land. Add a shutdown quality corner in the backend........ it could be sweet!

Im a Dallas fan but I just don't think we can afford him. I would like to see Free resigned. With Nnamdi Asomugha off the wish list, we need a solid safety replacement or two thats more affordable. I think we can get more production from our corners with the new defensive scheme. I think last years defensive scheme couldnt have more predictable if they were sending in the defensive plays on giant flashcards from the sideline. Nnamdi Asomugha would be a dream addition but its more fantasy then reality I think.

i agree that the boys can't afford him, especially if what i hear about the potential cba is true--i.e., that dallas is already over cap and will have problems as is.

i'd love the eagles to grab him but even though the $$$ is there i'm not sure they'll want to pay that much for a 30 year old. it's not their history :dunno:

True, Eagles have had a long history of not coming anywhere near their cap. Dallas has alot of room to save money in released players. They do however have alot of players to resign. I could see a run at someone like Huff.. After that they gotta start asking if these free agents are better then what they already have. I can see Dallas standing by thier CB's but they need at least one safety and to resign Sensab. who will get a chance to test the waters first.

How old was Samuel when they gave him the big contract? Had to still be in his 20's right?

Putting Asomugha across from Samuel would be a nice duo, but that's a lot of money to tie up in the CB position.
Its a dire need though. They need a cover guy on the otherside so they can do their normal blitz packages. there is a story floating today, where they plan to use more zone, and change how they run the line, with more pressure up the middle, but I don't buy it. Got to have a guy on the other side to play man to man.

If they don't get Asomugha, I hope they go for JJ from Cincy. PFT has them interested in Ike Taylor out of Pittsburgh.
