The Nnamdi Asomugha Thread

Don't panic. Mike & Mike are still talking Aso to the Texans or maybe the Bucs...:fans:
 
Stallworth to Washington. With Moss and Stallworth in the fold, it points to Holmes being reupped by the Jets..... which means.....
 
I don`t know too much about the cap - but how can the Jets have nearly enough money to sign him? And is it really smart, to have let`s say about 30 million dollars in salarys just for your 2 corners? That`s 1/4 of the entire cap...
 
And what I don't get is that this guy is expected to not only take less money but move to a place with ****ing absurd tax rates and cost of living? Riiiiiiiiiiight
 
Nnamdi Asomugha | CB 2010 Team: Oakland Exp: 8 years
Analysis: Could the Jets conceivably team Asomugha with Darrelle Revis? That's a scary thought for the rest of the AFC East.

Unfortunately for their divison rivals, the Jets have contacted Asomugha, two people informed of the communication between team and player have told The Star-Ledger.

The cornerback who started opposite Revis in 2010, Antonio Cromartie, also is a free agent.

Interested Teams: Jets

No mention of Texans..

The thing I hate about the Jets (and boy do I hate the Jets) is that you know they will get Aso for a discount.

I honestly think these journalists are throwing our name in the hat because they know our secondary is terrible. I would be willing to bet that an insider would tell you that we want Aso, but at a certain price, and that price isn't even close to what everyone else will offer.
 
Jesus, If Aso is going to the Jets, makes it to where their not going to sign so many of their players..That poor offense :foottap:

It's not like a couple of million less is really going to make a difference even living in New York. He's still going to have a huge contract.

Thats is nothing new. Its the same, exact quote other sites reported yesterday afternoon.

The jets will have a good defense that can stop the pass at will. Too bad Brady will shred them with short passes to Welker over the middle.

To sign him the Jets will IMMENSELY mortgage their future. They will put their young, and overrated QB, at risk with little to no weapons and Ryan will be exposed like his dad was. A great D co-ordinator who makes terrible personel moves when a head coach.

But we know there are more teams interested in Nnamdi. I think it's just that the Media is drooling of the possibility of him going to the Jets so they are playing up that scenario. Just like how they played up Lebron going to the Knicks and really only a few guys thought he'd go to the heat (Stephen A Smith lol...)
 
Jason La Canfora just said GMs think Nnamdi will go from $14- 19m per year depending on who you ask.
 
This is why i love me some Schefter => Rarely speculation, just facts from reliable sources. Lombardi and La Double Chin Fora just shoot from the hip, IMHO.

Thats too damn high. The guy is no Revis and NO CB is worth that.

Texans need to focus on Joseph and Wedlle at this point. Both can be had for 14 million or less, IMO.

The Jets can make room to sign anyone they want--with a five year spread of bonus money and option money they can make his 11 cap number low. The cap is about making choices if they sign him, they will not be strong in other areas or have the experienced depth-its all give and take

You're right...he's better than Revis. The guy was thrown at 21 times all season, that's unheard of.

If your other CBs are bad to mediocre and your safeties are poor, not to mention your LBs being weak in coverage... I'm not sure what having a shutdown CB accomplishes... I'd love Aso if we can have a solid supporting cast around him. My fear is that we sign Aso and do nothing to upgrade the safety position or the depth at CB.

I believe taxes are much higher in New York than Texas;combine that with any "discount" and it could be a substantial amount of money.

Not worth $15 million. Just not. Hey I am a HUGE Aso wanter but I do not want to mortgage the future. Arian and Mario will be FA's next year and will demand big money.

If you dont see having 25% of your payroll tied up in 2 cornerbacks as a huge problem then you are clueless.

Disagree. He's better than Revis.

And no way we'd get both those guys for less than 14. And the chance to hit on both those guys..... its tough.

If they are in the running for Aso, at minimum they must be ready to spend around 12+ so they wouldnt be too far off. Revis always goes with the opposing teams #1 no matter what side he is on. Aso stays on his side at all times.

How does that make him better?

15 mill is 12.5% of the cap. If we want Aso we will need to offer around 16.5.

Well it's a problem for them. Not for us. As for the big contracts to Foster and Mario, well, let's see what Arian does this year. Not thatt I think he'll regress much, but you can't pass up Asomugha if he's there. Deal with the future issues if and when they come up.

Yeah, but when have you ever heard of players talking about taxes?

Players don't do their own taxes, they hire someone to do it for them. They hire business manager to take care of their bills. All these guys think about is the money in the contract, not money after expenses.

Recent history shows that is not the case.

Patriots, Packers, Steelers, Colts etc... show that over spending now doesnt work. Examples of that? Cowboys, Redskins, Raiders

Signing Aso would be like the mulligan of all mulligans since the Texans passed on Revis drafted Amobi instead & let another former tenth overall pick in Dunta Robinson walk for mr. irrelevant :hankpalm:

Add in Revis salary and you get 25.

We don't have Revis. The Jets do. You made a point that you don't want to mortgage the future and that Mario and Foster are FAs next year. You insinuated that putting that much money in the hands of 2 cbs would prevent us from resigning Mario and Foster who want big money.

Mario is taking up like 15 million in cap space this year. There will be plenty of money to sign him and Foster next year.

Jets #1 priority is Santonio Holmes. If he signs quickly, then they focus on Aso and Htown has a chance. If he signs elsewhere, Jets turn their attention completely to Aso and he is as good as gone.

That could very well be wishful thinking. You have to remember that San Diego really, really wants to keep Weddle. We stand a much better chance of landing one or the other than both. Of the two, I'd prefer Weddle.
 
Pft. Forget all this talk about the Jets cap money. I think the real concern here should be how many idiots are going to be online on Madden 12 with the Jets. :foottap:

(Jokes, obviously, but it's going to be bad if Aso goes there.)

Was talking about the Jets then made a comment that anyhing more than 12 is too damn high for us because what we do have to do in the future.

Yes he is. Mario is right at $14m and Aso will bring every bit as much to this team as Williams.
