BLUE 1,026 Posted May 24, 2011 Per Rotoworld.com: All-Pro receiver Andre Johnson is lobbying free agent Nnamdi Asomugha to sign with the Texans once the lockout ends.Asomugha and Darrelle Revis are the only corners in the NFL who have shown capable of limiting Johnson on the field. "I've talked to him, and every time I hit him with it, it seems like it's on his mind," Johnson said. "I don't even say, 'Hey, man, what's up?' The first thing I say is, 'What's up? Are you coming to Houston? What are you going to do?' " Most Texans beat writers don't expect Asomugha to sign in Houston because of his monster price tag.

Turry 755 Posted May 26, 2011 NFL Network's Jason La Canfora considers the Jets a "long shot" to sign free agent Nnamdi Asomugha."I’m not seeing them having two cornerbacks making money at the very top of the market," La Canfora said on Total Access Wednesday. "I’d be surprised if they did it." The Jets are still hoping to re-sign Antonio Cromartie, although the chances of that happening will decrease if a new CBA is struck. Asomugha is more likely to land with an NFC East team. Related: JetsSource: NFL.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FartWaffles 1,857 Posted June 5, 2011 Per Rotoworld: The Houston Chronicle's John McClain thinks there's a 20 percent chance the Texans sign free agent Nnamdi Asomugha. NFC East rivals Dallas, Philadelphia and Washington have been considered the teams most likely to make a serious run at Asomugha this summer, but no one has a bigger need than Houston, who had the legue's worst pass defense in 2010. The Texans are not Asomugha's most likely destination, but they cannot be ruled out. Source: Houston Chronicle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duck Fallas 209 Posted June 5, 2011 Dallas!! I'd agree if he wasn't still on the hook for Haynesworth. I kind of agree, but I don't think that will matter to Snyder. He no longer makes those decisions, it is 100% up to Shanahan and Allen. I have a feeling that the Redskins will host Asomougha, make him an offer and let him decide whether or not he wants to be a Redskin. That is how they handled free agency last season, I can't see it being any different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BLUE 1,026 Posted June 7, 2011 Per Rotoworld.com: Citing people close to the organization, CBS Sports' Clark Judge reports that the Eagles are "indifferent" about signing free agent Nnamdi Asomugha."I've heard too many people say the Eagles aren't all that jacked up about Asomugha not to pay attention," writes Judge. Judge points out that Asomugha "will cost a fortune," and has really only played right cornerback in his career. The Eagles also have a history of trying to get younger, and Asomugha turns 30 in a month. Concludes Judge, "they just don't think he's the right guy for them." Judge's most believable line of reasoning is the money factor. Asomugha is going to easily surpass $12 million a year.

westbrookforsix 28 Posted June 9, 2011 Per Rotoworld.com: Oh this means he's totally gonna be an Eagle. They're getting SOMEONE in free agency to play corner. They wouldn't have skipped a corner in the first 2 rounds of the draft if they weren't. They didn't act too interested in Asante before they signed him either. Aso may be 30, but he's just starting to peak, and look at guys like Charles Woodson and Champ Bailey. Backup plan- I really would not mind seeing Carlos Rogers at all if they are trying to save a buck. I've seen a lot of him in Washington, and he would be a perennial Pro Bowler if he could catch the ball. He at least has the ball skills to get his hands on it, which is more than a lot of corners out there can say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Turry 755 Posted June 22, 2011 NFL.com's Gil Brandt "wouldn't be at all surprised" if the Lions make a play for free agent Nnamdi Asomugha.Brandt expects Asomugha to give Detroit serious consideration due to a league-wide respect for coach Jim Schwartz and a stacked defensive line that would make his job easier in the secondary. SI.com's Peter King has also listed Detroit a potential landing spot for Asomugha, though the Detroit Free-Press considers a signing unlikely. Related: LionsSource: NFL.com According to Fox Sports Southwest's Matt Mosley, it's a "long shot" that the Cowboys will end up signing free agent Nnamdi Asomugha.Mosley got the info from a team insider as a response to the Cowboys' No. 2 ranking in the recent Asomugha sweepstakes from SI.com's Peter King. Dallas could use a lock-down corner, but they're expected to be up against the salary cap once the CBA is finalized. An Asomugha signing would necessitate cutting a handful of veterans while outbidding all other suitors.

DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 2,241 Posted June 23, 2011 I honestly would be ok with the Lions throwing 12-14 mill at Aso.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GA_Eagle 595 Posted June 23, 2011 I honestly would be ok with the Lions throwing 12-14 mill at Aso.... Yea, I think just about everyone would be ok with their team getting him. Then again, I [ay very little attention to salaries. It seems that giant payouts never hamper teams, ever. What kills teams is giving up high draft picks in bad trades.

ATL_Predator+ 1,196 Posted June 23, 2011 As long as he stays out of the NFC East and NFC South...I'm fine..but I'd really like to see someone like the Texans or Ravens get him. Two contending teams..that could really make errybody go crazy. Texan's secondary is fucking pathetic, but at least they're making a step..and with them switching over to a 3-4 maybe it will create more pressure up front to make the secondary's job a little easier.

BradyFan81 404 Posted June 23, 2011 What free agents have we bought exactly and thrown a bunch of money at? I was mostly joking and just wanted to take a shot at the Jets, but you guys are extremely aggressive in FA and trades. Got LT, Cromartie, and Jason Taylor last year, Kris Jenkins, Bart Scott and Calvin Pace a few years back. I don't remember how much each guy cost but I don't think you overpayed too much for any of them. And last year you traded for Santonio Holmes, and Braylon the year before that. You're a pretty aggressive team, not like that's bad or anything. I was kidding with the buying free agent comment. Not like you're the Redskins or anything.

Yeah I guess I can see where you would get that even though a couple of those players were at reduced prices because there wasn't that much interest in them. We will find a way to get Asomugha anyways.....wait and see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Turry 755 Posted June 25, 2011 The Sacramento Bee's Matt Barrows believes there's a "chance" the 49ers land free agent Nnamdi Asomugha.The 49ers could cut Nate Clements and take some of the $15+ million he's due and put it toward Asomugha, but that's unlikely bordering on fantasy. It's doubtful the 49ers view themselves as one player away from making a serious playoff run, and won't get into a bidding war for Asomugha's services.

NFL Network's Jason La Canfora, FOX Sports Southwest's Matt Mosley, and Caplan are now all on the record predicting Asomugha won't be a Cowboy.
