New report claims the 49ers never made Nnamdi an offer (1 Viewer)

It's from a Raiders site early this AM and is interesting in a number of ways. You can read a lot into that claim.

The writer spun it such that the 9ers were so "gentlemanly" that they wanted to give everyone else a shot first. Yeah, right.

Jimmy, crank up the washing machine and get it going on spin.

Washed up, NFL minimum.

Heck, even that's an encouraging thought. It's a buyers market, and maybe the 9ers were just sniffing. The market demand has gone down since the initial flurry and contract money is coming back down to earth..

I didn't think much at first about the claims of Rob Ryan having an advantage, but there may be something to it after all.

Saving face with the fanbase in case he decides to sign here or elsewhere. I can hear it now. "We didn't want him". "Saints got the leftovers" blah blah blah...

 

[CitySaint]

It is clear that no one wants him, that makes it even more clear. He is washed up, stick a fork in him. If he was worth his salt there would be multiple teams interested.

 

[Brad01]

No one else wanted Drew Brees either.

Just sayin.

He's not that old. I don't buy the washed up claims.

 

[crescentcityboi]

We'll see how washed up he is back in Ryan's system ;-) He's got to be ready to resurrect public opinion.

Do you realize how far Drew Brees exceeded impossible odds. He certainly wasn't likely to be in the position he is in today. Besides that Brees was what 26 and had a pretty decent few years prior to the injury.

Aso has had 2 bad years in a row where he was burned left and right. And add to that fact he is approaching 33yrs old, the only team interested is us, and he wants to get paid.

These guys may be millionaires, but they are still humans. Some things you just can't put a price tag on. Ryan and Nnamdi have a great relationship (from what I've read). They've experienced success together and are actually very similar people. Ryan drives an old Ford conversion van, and Nnamdi drives a 90's model Nissan Maxima. That kinda tells me a lot about both of them and it makes sense why they would get along so well. They are both just genuinely good people.

Hey CitySaint, could you post some highlights and lowlights of Nnamdi's time in Philly if possible. I'm curious to see what you may be seeing that others may not.

 

[rubberneck]

Yeah, I'm worried about this guy. The Eagle fans thought he was dreadful, and were quite happy to see him go.

Eagles fans also throw batteries at their own players.

I thought that was Santa Claus... ?

Either way... They definitely made the naughty list that year.

 

[Saintshizzle]

San Fran, Eagles don't want him...hmmm. Makes me think that he will have a chip on his shoulder. Would fit in good with us, let's kick the tires.
