Interested in Nnamdi Asomugha?? [MERGED] (1 Viewer)

Not sure if this is right but isn't he a virtual guarantee to sign for the vet min (or if multiyear have the contract pay him vet min in year one) because the eagles are on the hook for 4 mil-whatever his new team pays him and no one is going to offer him more than 4/year? Correct me if I'm wrong.

The Saints are "in on" free agent Nnamdi Asomugha.

Nnamdi is probably the most cerebral DB in the league. I'd love getting him in the fold.

I dont think player salaries work the same way as coach salaries, do they?

Looked it up, no offset Don

I wonder if Saints are trying to sign both Lewis and Asomugha?

Went to Cal, Niners interested, we'd have to out pay them, which isn't something we can really do.

From what i have read, we are in a better cap situation than the NIners as of now. They just have a lot of draft picks which are useless for a free agent.

I like it, couldn't hurt...

Niners have less cap room than we do...$5,220,717

hmmm....would you rather go to the place your grew up in or the place you spent 3 or so years in for college? California or Louisiana. Should be easy considering he has already left Oakland before.

Please Please Please sign him Loomis!

 

[El Caliente]

Am I making this up or did Drew Brees tell him during the pro bowl he wanted Nnamdi to sign with the Saints, or he wanted him on his team?

I know he told Larry Fitzgerald that, but I could have sworn he told Nnamdi that as well.

This would be Excellent !

I never realized that Asomugha was from Lafayette. Anyway, I'm sure he might like to come back closer to home, but honestly, the San Francisco Bay area is a really nice place to live.

If we were to sign both I would assume that would mean pass rush is addressed in the draft? What do we figure they would cost ~3-4 mil a year each?
