Aso might be on the trading block...

Just read on Raider forums that Nnamdi Asomugha might be up for a trade. So far, they are just rumors, although earlier this video was released:

http://msn.foxsports.com/video?vid=54be0c79-98ee-4df0-b69e-b0476611a90e

Not sure what to make of this. Its odd, but I wouldn't be disappointed at all if Nnamdi was traded. He'd have a good chance to win a ring at almost any other team. Also, the players/picks we could receive by trading him may help turn this dysfunctional franchise around. Its a win-win...and as much as I wished Aso could win a ring in the silver & black...its seeming less likely as each week passes.


What are you guys thoughts on this? Would you want the Texans to go after Nnamdi?
 
His contract with the Raiders (from wikipedia...but I am fairly sure it is accurate)

The first two years, worth $28.5 million, are fully guaranteed. In the third year of the contract, if Oakland wants to keep Asomugha, it must pay him the average of the top five highest-paid "quarterbacks" or $16.875 million, whichever is higher.

A team would need to be in dire need of a playmaker on D to consider taking that contract...maybe it could be restructured...as crazy as it may seem to you, from what I know from Nnamdi over the years...he may very well do it. He offered to restructure his contract if DeAngelo Hall could stay...so yeah, anything is possible with Aso.

Quick answer: Yes. He's the best corner in the league, and the Texans have had a weak secondary. He instantly makes this team better.
 
I would trade next year's 1st Rounder for Aso in a heartbeat. A price higher than that would have to be thought out long and hard.

I would maybe go for a 1st Rounder in 2010 draft and a 4th Rounder in 2011 that would turn into a 3rd Rounder if the Texans made the playoffs this year or next.

I am sure the Raiders are asking for a 1st and a 2nd though.
 
Aso has a rep that may even be greater then his actual ability. Not that that is a bad thing though, no QB willingly wants to throw the ball his way. I can guarantee that he will be a HoFer when he's done...and if the Texans do land him...wow...he may be all you guys need to finally get things going.

I don't follow the Texans nearly as much as you guys do, but from what I do know, your D gives up way too many points. With Aso, you guys may finally be able to avoid those close games which end up in a shoot-out (i.e. the Titans game).
 
We probably would never think about it or even get a chance at him...but if we could trade him for Dunta, plus picks (1st or 2nd this year plus 2nd or 3rd the next?) AND have the ability to restructure Aso's contract, it might be a win-win for both teams in terms of us having a final answer for Dunta.

Think we could sell DRob & a 2nd to Evil Al?
 
Man you guys are crazy. I would trade a 1st and a 3rd and never look back. The guy is legit and shutdown corners are one of the hardest things to find in this league.

The best deal though would be Dunta and a 1st. THAT would be awesome.
 
You talking about Bowie, the person we got with the 4th rd pick? Well...he's not on the Raiders anymore...so in a sense, the Raiders gave away Moss for free :choke:.

He did have a 4.36 40 time though...
 
You'd have to give up Andre Johnson to get Nnamdi Asomugha.

So how about we close this thread right now.
 
Wouldn't matter if we did get AJ, not like we have a QB that could throw the ball to him. From what I gather, Al has finally realized that he needs to stop drafing projects and needs to get NFL ready players...but I am guessing instead of draft picks, Davis will ask for players instead. If Davis was smart, he'd shop for a QB. Keyword...IF...

Call me crazy but I'd consider giving up Schaub for Aso.

You're crazy...:)


Seriously though, who would QB this team? Gross-man lol. By the time we find and develop another legit starting QB, both AJ and our newly acquired Aso would be on decline or ready to leave.

Save the picks/players and draft a CB in the first round..(either that or offer that 1st round pick + a third for Aso...I wouldn't give up our starting QB though)..well, we'll probably take a safety round one, but who knows with Dunta most likely gone at the end of the season.

Absolutely must be considered. A straight up swap no but we could consider a package deal. We have to worry about resigning Schaub after this season. Picking up option or whatever it exactly was.
 
Al Davis is stupid, not retarded.

Schaub, Demeco, and a 1st rounder for Nnamdi,
 
Kaiser Toro said:
That would be good to know in order to get a baseline for Dunta's market value. Regardless, Smith needs to be on the phone with someone over there.

Dunta has market value ??

lol: You're killing me.tonite, KT, will you please stop?
 
I would give a 2010 1st and 3rd

and a 2011 2nd for Aso

McNair wii never approve a deal for Aso. McNair wont take on Aso's contract.

Uncle BoB likes his money

It's all moot anyways, Aso's one of 5-6 players on their "safe" list.

A few days ago I would have agreed with you, but I'm not so sure anymore.

"Several teams told me this week they received calls from the Raiders, Raiders personnel people saying Al Davis was so frustrated after last weeks game, he asked his personnel people to call around and basically saying, who do you want. Anybody on our roster except for the really young talented guys. Anybody else, who do you want on our roster, they're up for sale."
Click to expand...
I think its safe to say Aso would be included in this, but if Davis is going to these lengths...I'm sure he's open to some offers.
 
i'm not even sure how you win in a trade like this as the Raiders. no matter what draft picks you'd get in return, you'll just blow it on awful picks.
 
Just because we have had awful picks the last 3-4 years, doesn't mean we'll have an awful pick this time around :spin:.

If Al decides to get draft picks instead of proven players, then I would suspect that we would try and get Taylor Mays with our #3-4 pick (yeah, I think the Raiders will have the 3rd or 4th pick in the draft) and then with our other pick we might pick up Locker if he enters the draft. Thats just wishful thinking though. I don't follow college football all that much, but I have been hearing about a DT named Suh...he may be a possible pick as well if the other ones don't go through.
 
How much of Aso's contract is bonus money that stays on Oakland's books?

If most of his contract really is guarantees and bonus money the Texans might only have to pay the actual salary:

2009: $4.5 million, 2010: $755,000, 2011: $2.105 million (Club Option), 2012: $3.455 million (Voidable Years), 2013: $4.805 million, 2014: $6.155 million, 2015: Free Agent

Aso is a very good CB...and he is light years better than what we have...BUT all I can think about is what happened the last time we made a trade with the Raiders for a CB...remember that? :whistle:
 
The Raider franchise means alot to the NFL, if a deal was not favorable to them me thinks the league office would not give a seal of approval. I would keep my distance from them despite how great Aso is or how badly the Texans need to enforce the secondary. So the Texans would get fleeced, it would take Dunta Robinson, DeMeco Ryans & a 1st rd. pick. I'm not touching that with a 10 ft. pole :polevault:

I don't follow in the slightest. Actually, the whole post makes no sense.
 
I would do Dunta and a 2010 or 2011 second. Or keep Dunta and trade Bennett plus a first this year and second next year. Bad GM?
 
I would do Jacoby Jones and a 1st for Aso. Hey Al, we know you like receivers. This one is an up and comer. In our first three games, he had two receiving TDs and in our 4th game he returned a kick. In our last game he even got us back in the game with a long return of his own.

Based on how your team played us, you need guys that can catch and I can tell you that Jacoby is far better than anything you got resembling a WR right now.

A poke in the eye is better than a kick in the nuts too, but that's not really saying much. :heart:
 
I would rather trade 2011s 2nd rounder and 2010s 1st rounder to move up in this years draft to take Berry or Mays.
 
IF, we were to get Aso somehow, then you have to know that D Rob is gone either in a trade or via FA. There is no way he will stick around and be happy or content knowing that another CB on the Texans is making all that money and he is not. And the Texans will not tie up that much money in CB's.

And I'd have no problem with that. I like Dunta, but he couldn't hold Aso's jock much less cover like him.

I've made it known that I truly do not like trading draft picks, but I'd definitely consider trading for Aso...in a freakin heartbeat!

It'll never happen though. :spin:

Uncle BoB is cheap IMO.

The Texans have never gone after a top tier FA or traded for a top tier player who's making alot of money.

This trend will continue.

Along with 7-9, 8-8 and 9-7 records.

Feel free to disagree with me but cite some examples of uncle BoB spending top dollar on players or the coaching staff.

Uncle BoB gave Winston a good deal but not a break the bank deal.

I bet Dunta,Ryans and Daniels woud agree with me.

At the time the trade for Schaub was pretty big. He was considered about the best back up QB in the leauge that could be a starter anywhere. :turtle:

We are paying DR $10 million with a projected $13-14 next season if he is franchised again & that is $23-24. ASO may well agree to re-structure to get him out of Cleveland.
