Report: Eagles Will Release CB Nnamdi Asomugha

RaisingTheBar said
Wow, you just must not understand how defenses work, and what scheme he was playing in the past 2 seasons compared to when he was in Oakland. Vet min, really?

Oh yeah i suppose i'll hear all the talk about zone vs man D, press d and blalalah. Right? I only watched games (about 6 if i recall correctly) and with him playing mainly on man D he was getting burnt on a frequent basis. Based on that, i say yes, no more than the vet min 1. because he's old and declining 2. because we don't have cap space as it is.

Bring me solid data about him being misused and that he'll be such a shutdown corner because of a different scheme and because ryan is here and i'll be willing to listen.

Until then, everyone is entitled to his own opinion, and i'm not saying "whoever does want asomugha on the team must not understand **** about how defenses work", so you can shove your arrogance up your ***, thank you ever so much.

Oh yeah

2. Nnamdi Asomugha, Cornerback
This is another name that will surprise no one. Asomugha allowed a high 66.7% catch rate, a high 15.9 yards per catch, five touchdowns and had only one interception. He is paid like one of the best cornerbacks in the league, but is below average in all receiving categories outside of passes defended. He also has the redeeming quality that his 2.6 Run Stop Percentage is eighth-best among cornerbacks, but that only helps explain why he should make more than the minimum.
2012 Cap Hit: $11.0m2012 Performance Based Value: $1.9mValue Differential: -$9.9m

So perhaps you're right, maybe 1.5 mln instead than the vet min. Uh-huh.

according to your interest in available players, everyone is barely worth more than the vet minimum, or is too old, will never come back from injury, etc... you would build the crappiest team ever.

Like who? I'm curious, post link please
