Nnamdi Asomugha free agent

Re: Nnamdi Asomugha free agent

I would have him for a big, but not unreasonable contract.

If he wants all kinds of screwball provisions like in his current contract, then no way.

If it just a big contract.. then I would be willing to entertain.

He's made a ton of money. Maybe now he'd like to be reasonable and play for a winner.

Re: Nnamdi Asomugha free agent

according to STATS LLC Asomugha was targeted on just 33 pass attempts this season, allowing only 13 completions for 205 yards with no touchdowns.

that's a pretty darn good stat for a CB!

Re: Nnamdi Asomugha free agent

Nnamdi would make a perfect Steeler. A shutdown corner (which we desperately need), a guy who is willing to offer run support (which we require our corners to do), a smart guy (a Berkeley graduate who was involved with President Clinton's Global Initiative; his parents both have doctorate and his siblings are working on graduate degrees as well), and an impressive philanthropist (chairman of a foundation which helps widows and orphans in Nigeria and he personally takes groups of kids from rough neighborhoods in the Bay Area on nationwide trips to prestigious universities give them options to work toward).

Wow! I did not know that about him! Have to agree, he has "Steeler" written all over him. Anyone on our team have any ties to him?

Maybe he will give us the "winner" discount?

Re: Nnamdi Asomugha free agent

has any player ever been more highly regarded without stats to show what he does, barring Olinemen?


I guess in this case that fact that he doesn't have stats is the only stat he needs.

14 games played, 19 tackles, 0 INTs, and 6 passes defensed.



He must just be a special teams guy who gets some work in the dime defense...

Re: Nnamdi Asomugha free agent

So what? Replace Ike for Nnamdi?

Why?


Just draft a CB to be the next 'shut down CB'- it's a cheaper way to get a CB to play 10 yards off the WR.


Chadman is more than a little willing to give Crezdon Butler a go, and draft a 'top 3 round CB' to slot into the DB squad.

Re: Nnamdi Asomugha free agent

I'd love to have him, but suspect he'll end up with the Jets or Pats.

This kid's got better character than Polamalu. He's got Steeler written all over him. Too bad we can't afford him.
