Nnamdi Asomugha: Philadelphia Eagles Swoop in to Grab Asomugha
by Rich Langford on Jul 29, 2011 4:15 PM PDT
Email
PrintIn a totally surprising turn of Nnamdi Asomugha events the Philadelphia Eagleshave signed Nnamdi Asomugha. The Eagles hadn't been mentioned as contenders since teams began negotiating with players. Just hours ago it seemed like an almost certainty that Nnamdi would be heading to the New York Jets. Wrong!
The deal doesn't appear to be a bank breaker either. Per ESPN:
The deal is worth $60 million over five years, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
I have not seen how much of that contract is guaranteed. My guess is that it is a pretty good chunk of change. I wish Nnam nothing but the best. We'll have much more time to speculate on this move, and if the Raiders should have made a bigger play for Nnam.
I will say that Nnamdi going to the Eagles does the Raiders no favors in regards to their other free agent targets. The Jets will now likely turn their attention to Antonio Cromartie and the 49ers are likely going after Dashon Goldson as we speak. Much more to come.

GET ASANTE!!!
With Nnamdi gone, and hopefully Chris Johnson soon following, we desperately need a #2 CB. Shortly after picking up Nnamdi, NFL network’s Michael Lombardi reported that the Eagles are shopping around Asante Samuel. Asante could play #1 on most teams, and would be a huge luxury for us playing beside Stanford Routt. He shouldn’t cost much more than a high round + mid-late round pick at this point, and that would be generous. MOVE QUICK BIG AL, the AFC West is going to be covered in Silver and Black!

DeAngelo Hall 2.0.
Let’s go get Nine-Kids Cromartie.

42 picks in 8 seasons...
Should be enough to remove “not good” from any sentence regarding Asante Samuel.

he sits back in the zone and jumps passing lanes
he doesn’t play man – DeAngelo Hall gets picks too.

That's primarily because of the schemes he played in
Belichek is well known for his multiple movement and prowl schemes, and the Eagles have never been much of a press coverage man defense. We really can’t say how effective he would be in the Raiders scheme, but there shouldn’t be any question that Samuel has raw talent and veteran leadership. We all saw the impact Seymour had on our young d-line, Samuel would likely have the same effect on our young secondary as well, considering he was a part of the same defense that fueled the Pats dynasty.

i guess you could say that he has never been in a man scheme so maybe he can but we would be giving up a lot for 'maybe he can' scenario
and as i said we already tried that with D.Hall. Also Asante is nowhere near the leader that Big Sey is.
Im not saying he is not a good player just unsure if he fits especially considering what the Eagles will probably want for him.

Given his injuries and age
I don’t see him going for more than a first round pick, maybe a mid-late pick in addition. We only need a #2 QB while DVD and Chekwa develop, which would no doubt be sped up with the presence of both Rod Woodson and Samuel. Asante deserves way more respect than Hall, and really shouldnt be mentioned in the same sentence. Great players can make adjustments, I don’t see him losing his playmaking ability just because he’s being asked to play in a different scheme

No way would I give up a first round pick for him.

Why not?
We have a ton of young talent already, it’s not like we are desperate for new talent to develop. I know I was happy giving a first rounder for Seymour, especially since we still got a strong draft class this year anyway.

He has had the same experience as Sey
And has very strong numbers to back his value up to a first round pick. A backfield of Routt/Samuel is nothing to snuff at, and a playoff run this season could really get us momentum for what appears to be a bright future. I just want to watch football. Cmon preseason…

I see what you are saying to a point
but where you are losing me is with the comparisons to Big Sey.
I think you are understating who Seymour is and what he brings to this team.

by no means am i comparing the two
Seymour is by far more dominant at his position, I’m merely suggesting that Samuel would have the same type of impact on the young guys we growing to be the future of our backfield.

thats the part i disagree with
I don’t see Samuel as anywhere near the leader that Big Sey is. The fact that Sey is dominant AND a Leader is what makes him worth a first round pick.
I like Samuel but his value isnt even close to that of Sey imo.

i kinda hope ur right
they desperately want to get rid of his $9.5MM cap hit with both CB positions locked, so maybe we could get him for cheaper than a 1st round pick. I would still be willing to give up a 1st rounder, but Al should at least look in to what Philly wants for him.

Good luck to him
He stayed here far longer than many players with his talent might have on a losing team, Of all the teams he could have gone to (apart from coming back to us), this is the one that I would have preferred.
Kick their ass and take their stuff!
Al was hoping the price would continue to drop for him and that he would come back to us cheap in his eyes. Al screwed up in giving Routt that overpaid contract basically not leaving enough money to keep Nnamdi. We are well over the cap than any other team in the league and Nnamdi knew he would not be coming back and was looking for the highest bidder.

its better than the jets
i prefer this than nnamdi going to any afc team, ! how often do we play the eagles? we dont have the WR to match up with nnamdi yet
i agree
i am a Vick guy as well so this is probably the least disappointed i could be.

Andy Reid just makes more sense than any of those other dickweeds

The joke is on them...
they also signed JL Higgins! RMFAO
Okay now that Nnamdi is gone.
Are we really going to play single high man to man with no Free Safety as well.
My money is on YES!

I expect whomever we settle on at free can perform as well as Huff did
not so concerned about that position, as i am for corner. Many of the cbs we drafted are likely to be groomed for FS too, and there are already a bevy of young guys from last year, and Tyvon’s getting reps in camp.
I’m afraid to find out what happens without one side of the field locked down, and all our rivals stocking up on trees.

Its a big question mark that's for sure
but both CJ and Routt have performed at times as top line corners and we have a glut of young talent, I have faith in Rod Woodson to get those guys performing at a high level consistently.
Either way at this stage i do not think it is completely the end f the world as these guys definitely have the otential to be a very high level tandem and I also expect to sign another FA corner – Rogers please Al.

Man I hope We do something else. No team is afraid of Routt
think it will be a free for all. We don’t have any OLB that can cover too. I just hope Al Davis signs Derrick Mason.
not sure how Derrick Mason is going to help in pass coverage :/

We won't, i am not worried about Stan and CJ's ability to play on the island they just have to be more consistant.
but you do make a good point about coverage LB’s

I mean if we can't stop people we might as well score 21 point quick.
Mason can teach our Wr’s how to play. Maybe if we played less man coverage we wouldn’t leave these guys on island. I don’t think you can win a superbowl by just playing man coverage. Until we hire a Real DC and stop being predictable on defense we won’t win a superbowl or go to an AFC championship game.
true that
I am very interesting to se what Breshnan puts together for the D, last time he was here we made a superbowl.

We had a great Offense
Our defense wasn’t all that good.when we were in the superbowl. He haven’t had a good defense in a long time. We have to stop run first before we can start thinking about the playoffs.
I think we are going to have pretty great offense this year and we have as good a D-Line as there is in the NFL
Death Ro in his second season, I think we will be ok.

I hope so
But Our defense isn’t built to care this team week in and out. I believe if we change up coverage because our dline get pressure we could get a lot of turnovers. Death RO is one of those guys you don’t have to worry about because he comes to play. I am worried about or man coverage an one WR’s catching over 60 balls and 10TD’s We need two of them to have that kind of production to make a playoff run.
NEW STADIUM IN OAKLAND!!!!! maybe

Great Choice for Nnamdi
The thinking Process
The Raiders can’t afford me. I want to stay, but I can make a lot more money on a different team and play for a contender.
The Bay Area will think I am a traitor if I play for the 49ers. Plus, any team that still thinks Alex Smith can be a player in this league has no shot at winning a Super Bowl. It would be nice to stay in the Bay Area.
The Cowboys Defense is pretty bad. DeMarcus Ware and I will have to do everything on Defense for that team. The stadium is nice.
The Jets are intriguing, but they play in Oakland week 3 and the offense struggles with Mark Sanchez. Revis and I would be damn good.
The Eagles have Micheal Vick and the offense puts up plenty of numbers. The team just robbed the Cardinals and got me some help in the secondary. They just signed Babin for a better pass rush. I like this team’s chances.

Where did you get this information? The four letter network said the Raiders were 10 million over. I don’t know what contracts have been restructured to suddenly be 20 million under.

just can't stay away can you? getting shellacked twice will become a normal thing for your Donks
and I think we fared just fine without Nnamdi in one of those bouts and still made you guys look like a Pop Warner team.

Thank God he went to a team where he will be a non-factor.
The NFC is the weaker conference and almost all the good WRs are in the AFC.
Samuels, pack your bags or hit the bench.

I think the whole Nnamdi thing is funny....
because for everyone laughing at the Raiders for letting him go, their teams stood by with a tumb up there butts thinking they were gonna get him. dumped all sorts of players to make cap space. Jets fans should be crying, not only did you not get him, we might take Cro. Cowgirls fans need to go chew a cow patty and kiss their cousin and get over it. Houston, atleast they realized what was up and signed oldboy. For as good Nnamdi was to us…. we will be much better in other areas by him leaving.
