Please GOD no, Aso to Eagles?

[Brokenbad]

The Eagles, though heavily committed to Asante Samuel, may be willing to pursue another star cornerback: Nnamdi Asomugha. The team isn't ruling it out, at least not for salary cap reasons. "If we went or didn't go in any particular direction it wouldn't be because of the balance of the cap at that particular position," Eagles president Joe Banner said Tuesday. He was asked about the theory that the Eagles wouldn't give Asomugha a huge contract because they are already paying for one Pro Bowl cornerback -- Samuel -- and might not be able to address all their needs if they tie up so much salary cap space in one position.

So while JR has stated that he will not sign anyone until the CBA is done, other teams are setting the groundwork to grab the elite talent.

And we will get nothing but the leftovers.

Awesome

[g5jamz]

You mean the Panthers aren't in the conversation considering we have Marshall potentially leaving?

color me surprised

[HSCBandit07]

So you guys aren't happy with Gambit and Captain Planet?

We already have the groundwork in place to sign an elite talent like Asomugha although I would assume we use it to re-sign our own FA's. Other teams are the ones that need to manuever and worry about big salaries already on payroll in order to do make a move for him.

Is anyone even remotely surprised we aren't a legitimate contender for his services?

[g5jamz]

I personally do like Gamble and Munnerlyn and think we're fine at the position. I think we'd be better to have a 3rd stud shutdown CB to free up more corner blitz schemes that will be a part of the new zone blitz defense Rivera wants to run. Marshall is fine, but not big resign money worthy. Might have been a condition of the the lack of a pass rush and assignments, but who knows.

Add Patrick Peterson to that group and I am thrilled.

If we don't sign some really good free agents we are going to stink again next year

[GritsRgreat]

meh

[Dpantherman]

He won't get signed before a CBA agreement, in which all this crap means nothing. A head start is garbage. Money talks, and IF a CBA is reached, then hes fair game for any team willing to pay.

[Mvp2014]

we werent going to get nnamdi anyway, you are wasting your time guys

[Cat'sGrowl]

A CBA makes this useless.

We'll see where we stand once that get's reached.

I definitely see us putting in a call to his agent out of curiosity, but with all the other options at CB this offseason (draft & FA is full of them) I don't see us overpaying for a 30 year old CB. Nor do I believe we should.
