The Nnamdi Asomugha Thread

DX-TEX said:
Kubiak, Smith and Asos agent. All in Kubiaks office eating $5 foot longs with a deal that already makes Aso a Texan.

Kubes: What shoould we say now?
Smith: Say the Redskins are getting into the bidding
Aso's agent: LOL
Smith: No. Say the Falcons are signing him and they are trading Robinson back to Houston for $17 million a year
Kubiak: AWESOME!
Philips: Hey guys whats going on??I smell sammiches??

EDIT:for Brandon
Click to expand...
Only problem with this scenario is Phillips not being on the inside. I think he had commitment from McNair to doing anything possible to improve DBs when Wade signed his contract.
 
Dallas is supposed to be a player for Aso and has considerably more leverage as far as "winning" goes. I'm more worried about thm than the J-E-T-S.

Another thing just popped up in my head, is Terrence Newman a FA, if so, any chance Phillps tries to bring him here if we can't get Namadi? :thinking:

Better name than football player ...i.e. we would be overpaying for "veteran leadership" that "knew the system." Dallas pass defense with and post Wade was close to as poor as the Texans.
 
DocBar said:
If you look at Phillip's record for improving defenses and consider the fact that we have a top 4 offense, what do you base your argument on? If the J-E-T-S sign Aso, they lose their entinre WR corps. Winning or losing 10-9 or 9-10 is not going to win fans in NYC.

What do I base my argument on? That it's the Texans. Speaking realistically, how many good arguments could be made that Houston would be a better fit for him than the Jets? We've never made the playoffs and have had one winning season in our existence. The Jets have gone the AFC Championship game two years in a row. Like I said, I hope I'm wrong but if he does value winning over money then the Jets likely have the upper hand in signing him.

That's just salary, don't know how much his signing bonus was for this year but probably a few million.

Here is something from AJ in 2008

The Texans didn't just "give" Matt Schaub $48 million.

They gave him $4.5 million on or about May 15, 2007 as a signing bonus.
They gave him $2.5 million on or about May 15, 2007 as a roster bonus.
He earned a $50,000 workout bonus during summer camps in 2007.
He earned a $950,000 base salary in 2007.
He earned a $50,000 workout bonus during the summer camps in 2008.
He is scheduled to earn $4.95 million in base salary in '08
He is scheduled to earn $6.95 million in base salary in '09

Let's do some quick math. Can you say "3 years - $19.95 million?" I knew you could.
Click to expand...

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.

Luckily they did not release him...otherwise I'd have a feeling he'd be on his way to Houston by now.

We have an easy argument in our favor. We have a fantastic offense that won't need to change in order to acquire him. We can throw him a shitload of money, he fits perfectly in what our scheme will be, he'll be THE man here and the biggest FA signing in franchise history. He knows that by signing here, he'll mean way more to us than any other team. Houston is not the bright lights of NYC, which is nice for a guy who's not an attention whore punk like the rest of the Jets, Houston/Texas is a better place to live tax-wise, etc.

The Jets are "better" than the Texans, but we'll be in the playoffs with him, so the difference is negligible.
 
Allstar said:
Still doesn't explain why ESPN doesn't even mention him. They are very good at talking out of their asses, and Nnamdi is the top FA. Doesn't make sense that he isn't in the news at all.
Click to expand...

Jamie Dukes on NFLN Total Access just said he thinks Nnamdi is headed to Houston, but then again...in the same breath he says Jerry Jones could sway him to play for the Cowboys.

After releasing Marion Barber AND Roy Williams, I don't know how Jerry could legitimately "sway" Nnamdi to Dallas. Nnamdi's been there done that, in terms of playing for a team with no offense and erratic leadership. It's been said that Nnamdi is impressed with the leadership in the Texans organization, with the city, etc. He's a thinker. So I "think" he is smart enough to know that he's going to be treated better in Houston than most other places (Dallas included).

I stated several hours ago that I now think we have a Haynesworth type deal, a silent but deadly deal, with Nnamdi. As some have speculated, the Texans cannot announce it because they can't yet. Secondly, the Texans want to play it cool and continue to show Nnamdi that the Texans are classy. Thirdly, the agent probably has not allowed a final number to be drawn up...stating that he wants his client, Nnamdi, to be free to negotiate with ANY team until the last possible moment (Good agent, if he is doing this, by the way).

The total dollar amount is probably still up in the air, and like one person pointed out: The leakage stuff about Nnamdi to Jets could just be the agent trying last-minute P.R. stuff to try and get more from Bob McNair.

Maybe this is why Bob didn't fire Kubiak. Had he hired Cowher in Kubiak's place, he was going to be on the hook for remainder of Kubiak's salary AND the new salary for Cowher in the same year. This would affect the bottom line, obviously. Instead, he retains Kubiak (for the purpose of continuing the good work on offense) and he hires Wade Phillips (for the defense) with the purpose of using Wade AND a strong draft on defense in 2011 (which we did) to set up the final play for Nnamdi.

IF this works out, then we can drop the Bob Is Cheap act (I solemnly swear to) but we also have to drop the Rick Smith Can't Recruit Big Name Players act, as well. IF this works out, then Bob McNair gets a huge bump in street cred from practically everybody. And then it becomes a deal of Gary and Wade shaping this team into a team who can play 4 quarters for 16 games all reg season long.

What do you think? I feel pretty good, to be honest. You know damn well if it was leaked that McNabb has a deal in place (a handshake deal) with the Vikings, that the Jets would have had SOMEBODY snooping around their place and tweeting that there is a handshake deal for Nnamdi. With the Texans, they're pretty good at keeping things quiet. Have been ever since Kubiak hit town. Not even McClain has anything anymore that's a scoop. Am I right?

We don't exactly have a history of agreeing with each other, but I agree with most of what you said. I'm worried that I'm being overly optimistic, but I have a feeling that there is something to the lack of actual Aso news, and that it very well might involve a deal with the Texans.
 
Just to add some color. Nnamdi is represented by Tom Condon (CAA), also within CAA is Ben Dogra, who represents Mario, Demeco and Braylon Edwards.

Maybe he didn't fire Kubiak to preserve the very continuity that Nnamdi is said to covet. The most revered tems in the NFL are known for having that at the HC position. I contend that McNair knows that and wants to emulate that, and enjoy the long term success of those teams. maybe signing Aso will validate that approach.
 
Lucky,

Think about it.

Cowher was on TV every Sunday, grinning and posturing and playing the "I want to coach again," and "Houston has something special going on there" stuff.

He was basically asking to be hired. On TV.

And all the while, we've got Bob wringing his hands behind the scenes at the end of the reg season. Bob to Rick: "Damnit, Rick. I want some Aso. You want some Aso. And now we've got Cowher barking up our tree..."

So Rick steps in. "Sir, Kubiak is....well, he runs a good offense. Can't argue that. He tried to give Frank Bush a shot. Didn't work out. And 'yes,' Cowher could bring a new toughness here. BUT...we lose Kubiak's ability to run an offense. And then you have money problems with Cowher and Kubiak salaries. So....you say you want some Aso, right? Let's try Wade at d-coord. Meet with his old man, have some BBQ with him. And let's have Wade run the draft. Top to bottom. Run it his way. And let's get us some freaking' Aso."

I fear the only thing that can screw this up is Jerry Jones' meddling ass. If that mother bleeper gets Aso, I pray to God and Allah and Zeus and Zac Efron that a plague hits that locker room and the CDC has to step in and nuke the whole stadium. Period.

Jerry Jones is freaking me out right now. Ain't gonna' lie.

You're right that McClain couldn't scoop a turd with a backhoe, and that if a deal is in place, neither party would be talking about it.

I can't speculate on McNair's reasons for keeping Kubiak other than what he said publicly, which is that he likes him. I honestly believe that's the real reason, but it does help that it has saved the FO money, cap impact or not.

And I never thought I'd ever see Asomugha compared to Haynesworth, but I believe I just did.

On the bright side though, if this season goes sour, we've made the transition so much easier for Cowher to come in to by already switching to the 3-4.
Click to expand...

Was going to say the same thing.

Rick Smith could say to Bob, "Look, keep Gary for his last year here. We will have Aso, and then we can get Cowher in here and really wrap this mother up for good."

Rick has no allegiances to anybody but himself, IMO. He's a GM who is on nobody's side but his own. Have been saying this for a long time. The buddy-buddy thing everybody thinks about him and Kubiak? I don't buy it. Go back to the Cedric Benson situation--Gary practically says, in response to a reporter asking about Cedric, "Yeah? Well, I don't ever know anything until Rick gets the deal done and lets me know." Now tell me: Does that sound like a HC who gets whatever he wants all the time? Not to me. It sounds like Rick is Bob's little you know what.

IF this goes down, Gary has one year (THIS year) to show he can shape this team with the right pieces. If not, Nnamdi has already been assured that Cowher will be the next coach in 2012.

If I nail this prediction, I assume total control of this whole message board. Be careful all ye who have scorned me in the past.

Every off season there are big time players that are free agents or that become available on the open market. Whether you personally think they're as high profile as Aso is a matter of perspective. Our GM has no idea on how to land guys like that.

I just do not see a lot of fat on his contract with the numbers that have been floated around. The value may be in the gesture.

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!

Going from the Crypt Keeper to Skeletor isnt much of a step up.
 
Seems that every team has interest in one player or another, but the Texans are very quiet, only report I've seen us linked to other than Aso is Weddle.

You gotta get in line ..... Ive said a dozen times or more in the last three months that Namdi will end up in a Texans uniform this offseason.
 
Looks like Dallas has won the Buc/Dallas Doug Free war. Glad to see it as the Bucs are reported as not going after Nnamdi, and the less cap money Dallas has the better.

So has pretty much every insider the past 3 months. Someone here posted that Mike Francessa WFAN in NY stated a couple weeks ago that Aso signing with Houston was the worst kept secret in the NFL. Every executive in the NFL knew the deal was already done.

That's not a bad thing. Maybe things can be finnagled to get both of them on the roster. Does the 90 player thing mean we HAVE to have 90 players in camp?

On the bright side though, if this season goes sour, we've made the transition so much easier for Cowher to come in to by already switching to the 3-4.

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.

So. I gave such intricate details about how it went down.

You can be on my cabinet, though. You're either with me...or against me, Corrosion.

Tick tock...
 
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.
