The Nnamdi Asomugha Thread

Now there's a reason for optimism. Unfortunately I tend to agree with the crowd that feels like Wade Phillips will end up being the next HC if Kubiak does end up going.

If this happens, then all the McNair propoganda guys are right and I'm buying a bunch of tin foil hats. Phillips is a known commodity at DC, and a good one. Phillips is a known quantity at HC and a not so good one. Surely McNair is not so out of touch with the fan base as to name Phillips as HC over Cowher.

Dallas mitigated cap space by cutting offensive players, but they drafted those positions in the last two years.

I am not fearful of the Cowboys in their pursuit of Aso, even though CB is a need.

Jinxing it. Thanks a lot!

I liked you better when you were posting fishing photos.

Yeah, and you know Schaub has been coached to say that.

He's expressing willingness, but is not indicting himself by saying he HAS had those discussions about it.

I'm telling you guys: I think Bob has been wanting that Aso so bad, for so long, that there is no other guy out there he wants more. Raging.

EDIT: Peter King, whom I do not care for much btw, has said it's the worst-kept secret that Aso is heading to Houston. I think he knows something solid on this deal. Because he's out and out saying this is done and has been for some time. But Peter King is not going to get involved as a witness in the crime of tampering. He, too, is choosing his words nicely.

The whole damn NFL OWES us this one, OK? Goodell, Tagliabue's ghost, the kid who ran out onto the field and retrieved the kickoff tee at Oilers games. They all OWE us this one. For Pete Prisco's sake, let us have some quality Aso for a change!

King does have connections everywhere. Maybe he has a solid source.

I've been thinking all offseason about Texans and Aso. I need me some T and Aso!
 
all this talk of worst kept secret is starting to frustrate me.

i was preparing myself all off-season in not getting some Aso but now optimism is returning and I'm getting my hopes up ... DAMMIT I WANT ME SOME ASO!!!!!!!
 
I'd say we postpone the circle-jerk until tomorrow night, Nnamdi isn't a Texan yet. Here's to hoping there will be actual news in the morning.

Will you be my teammate please?
 
is it just a situation, in that photo, of where the two guys are standing in relation to the camera...

Or is Nnamdi TALLER than AJ?

I'd hope he wouldn't be as foolish to sign Phillips at all as a HC, although I'd rather have Phillips over Kubiak. Cowher has already expressed interest in the Texans two years ago and I definitely think he wanted to come here. The fact that Kubiak wasn't fired already after teams like the Bucs, Falcons, Jets, Saints, and a few others already bounced back while we ended up regressing isn't indicative to me that Bob will make sound decisions on his coaches. He certainly has swung and missed on two regimes now. I sure as hell hope that the 3rd time is a charm whenever that may be. I just hope that Phillips isn't that 3rd charm.

You know, the two are a LOT alike.

Both the best at their positions yet extremely humble. I really think if this does happen AJ will have had a big hand in this.

You're right, their decency made me delete my initial quote:

Andre: "Sign with us or get Finnegan'd in our next matchup."

Dude. THIS is our year.

Can't you feeeeeeeeeeeeeeel it? LOL.

What I can't believe is that I have tricked so many people on here into having hope that we are going to land Aso! Losers.

John McClain backtracking a little:

McClain_on_NFL John McClain
As I've said for months, Texans will make an offer to Nnamdi Asomugha, but I'll be shocked if they get him. They don't have cap room.


I don't ever remember him saying we'd make an offer, all I remember hearing is "absolutely not gonna happen."

Mc-I-breathe-into-the-mic .... has absolutely zero credibality with me .... My sources are better than his and Im just some asshole on the MB.

I cant see why 610 or the Crapical keep him around other than the fact they like his assistants (o)(o)'s ..... And thank GOD she doesnt link her garbage articles here like she does on Clutchfans .... lol
 
Peter King just said on Mike and Mike that the suitors for Aso are Houston and Dallas with the Jets being a longshot. He reiterated that Aso would have to take a paycut into the $12-13 million range and also stated that Aso has a desire to play there.
 
Peter King:

Nnamdi wants to play for Jets. Jets can do Holmes & Aso.

Houston & Dallas have to decide if the want to "overpay" Aso.

I'm thinking we made an effort based on the reports and now we know it aint happening so we've decided to re-sign our own guys and persue whoever is leftover.

Didn't someone post in another thread that King said that Aso to Houston was a done deal??

Now that we have a season I can't wait for these signings to be done...all the back and forth is giving me a headache...

I think what we need to do is present our absolute best offer to Aso's agent and say here is our best and final deal. We need to know by say 3pm today. At 3PM, call Aso's agent and ask if Aso is interested or not. If he is, we have a deal. If he is not interested, no hard feelings, we will look elsewhere.

The one thing we cannot do is wait it out till Friday/Saturday and then not get anyone of significance. Remember the Stros through the whole Beltran situation. They let Boras control the process and at the end of the day they got nothing of significance.

That is true. Stop waiting on someone who may not really be too interested in coming here anyhow. The last thing we need to be is the team that's used to bring up the anti for a team the player really wants to go to.

Here is something from AJ in 2008



So, first three years were 19.95M + 10M option bonus in 2010 = ~$30M, which leaves 18M over the three years (2010-12). However, I am not sure when/how that $10M bonus started hitting the cap, and what effect the uncapped year has on the situation.

Yep saw that but the $10million is what is bothering me. I've never seen it stated as a bonus but "option" Texans pick up for 2010 as if that was his salary. If salary there is nothing to add to 2011 or 2012.
That would make it more difficult I guess to get much from a re-structure.
 
Im still sticking to my guns and my theory that a deal has been in place with Aso and will be announced later.
 
We'll end up offering him something semi-insulting...he'll take about the same to play for the Jets. We'll sign some third-rate guy. Jets will go deep into the playoffs. We'll watch from home again.


Second verse, same as the first.
 
I hope whatever is going to happen, happens..Either so we can move on, or run around Houston streaking naked with glee.
