Nnamdi Asomugha: Nnamdi and the New York Jets May Be as Good as Done

I think Nnamdi Asomugha is very close to being a member of the New York Jets. I imagine they are just hammering out the last few minor details, and have closed off the negotiations to other teams. At least that is what the most recent reports of player movement would seem to indicate.

*Update: I apparently have no idea what I am talking about. Nnamdi went to the Eagles.

By all appearances, the negotiations had come down to a battle of the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Jets. We here in Raider land have hoped that Al Davis was a silent entity in all of this, but I think we might be able to dismiss of that notion now. I interpreted this tweet from Adam Schefter: 

"Less money for Nnamdi: Cowboys reached agreement with Marcus Spears on a 5-year, $19.2 million deal."

as the Cowboys waving the white flag. They are going the wrong way in salary cap space. Meanwhile the Jets continue to shove things around for Nnamdi's giant cap figure. NFL.com's Michael Lombardi via Twitter:

"I am told that the Jets have redone the contracts of B Scott, LT, C Pace, Brandone Moore as well as Brunnell to set the stage for Asomugha."

Sure, the Jets may have been planning on doing this to add other free agents, but the timing is just too coincidental to ignore. I think Nnamdi is headed to the Big Apple.

I think Nnam is trying to squeeze as much money as he can out of the deal

Now let’s put the raiderland focus on what have instead of what we don’t have.

It isn’t much but, I think there are a few more moves to be made before the raiders call it a “team”.

if Nnamdi stayed true to his character and not Drew and (impossibly) stepped up and said “i’m signing back with the Raiders for shorte, but much smaller contract. Let’s use that money to get some more free agents and get our own guys back.”

Eagles have a better shot at the SB than the other contenders (excluding us) and this too hurts that Asomugha didn't have

enough faith in the Raiders. May he regret it soon … especially since Phili still sucks at Rush Defense. (Some might say we do to but I believe we’re improved in that area with a new DC and seasoned DL, Goethel and LB help on the way.

He had the chance to stay and follow Coach Jackson to glory, he could have become a Raider Legend but he chose to try his luck elsewhere.

I'll support that;

At least you hated the Eagles before that. I’m just saying that Just because Nnamdi ain’t here no more, don’t hate a team for that. That’s no better than Cleveland.

Hey Nnamdi

Hope you take a C Battery in the helmet from those “wonderful” Philly fans.

Fuck you very much for being just another clown with dollar signs in your eyes.

Sigh.

Wow. Cry more. Like the our front office didn’t have ample time to get their shit together for him to be willing to stay here. No offense, but I fully understand why he walked for greener pastures.

'Like' my band. I mean, it'd be awesome if you did that.

It is what it is

Call it crying but where was the loyalty? Al Davis did him solid by giving him the LARGEST CONTRACT A CB HAS EVER GOTTEN!!!

That means he’s been paid more then Deion Sanders, more then Revis, more then anyone who’s job was to lock down a receiver.

It isn’t entirely on the Raiders dude, he cut and run on the first day he could sign! He didn’t wait it out or anything first chance he got to get super paid he did. All the years I thought he was a classy, team first kinda guy. he goes and proves me and the rest of you who thought the same.

And IMO if you ain’t on the Raiders, I don’t fucking like you. Me and my team have caught so much shit over the years I’ve developed the traditional US against THEM and that will never change. Nnamdi may be one of the all-time Raider greats, but as far as I’m concerned he blew it. That dude is absolutely nothing to me now….I don’t wish him well, I don’t want him to succeed, I want him to fall flat on his face and remember that this is what he wanted.

Side note….I’m really just pissed because I was one of the suckers who beleived without a doubt he was coming back.

will have a better career with the Raiders then Nnamdi will with the eagles, im calling it

Time to move on

Nnamdi was great in Oakland, I wish him luck with the Eagles…….until they play the Raiders. Then I hope Ford, Murphy, or (even better) DHB burns his ass for a solid TD or two. Not the end of the world, now to get another corner. DRC or maybe Carlos Rogers. If not, screw it, the Raiders will get by with CJ and Routt. Plenty of talent out there. Lets get this season started, go RAIDERS!!!

Damn ...

I sure hope you’re right because it is seriously looking a bit bleak at the moment. But, I do think that Carlos Rodgers could still give us some good mileage. With all the CB’s we do have … it may be that we just have to hope that one or even two or three step up really big this season. Could happen …

Exactly, he plays more because Nnamdi was like a girl from New Jersey at the club. Try as you might, you won’t get left alone.

Routt was not overpaid when you look at what the Texans paid John Joseph

I know absolutely nothing about this guy but if he is fast I say sign him up. - Me 2011

I think it's about time we all just agreed that NaS is the greatest of all-time. - Me 2011

"Anytime you have an organization and an owner that wants to win as badly as Al Davis wants to win, and will spend the money to win, I don’t think you have as many barriers as you think. Those are easy. The ones that would be tough is where you didn’t have any good players and you had an owner or an organization that didn’t want to spend any money to get good players." - John Madden, 2008

by Ozraider on Jul 29, 2011 6:09 PM PDT up reply actions  

Routt earned his pay

And he’s gonna earn it again.

I’m the eternal optimist but I suspect career seasons out of both Routt and CJ now. They will get targeted half the time they did when they had to start on the other side of Nnamdi. With our style of defense it has to play into your mind that you are gonna be picked on possibly 30 times in a game, every single game. You can talk all the shit you want about being ready but that’s alot of defending, alot of energy, and plenty of opportunities to fail.

Nnamdi was great but his humble demeanor was his undoing stats wise. The greatest interception artists I’ve ever seen would play with their opponents, let the qb think his man was open, and bait an interception. Who knows maybe one of these young kids we drafted have got that in them? One thing is for sure, we are about to find out.
