Re: Nnamdi Asomugha
 

One of the teams interested is KC............He does not fit that team and he will not be able to stop Manning when his own qb will not match him.

If we don't get him another team who runs a zone is going to get him.

Re: Nnamdi Asomugha
 

dream a little dream here. he was money hungry going to the eagles and i expect he has not really changed.

CB Nnamdi Asomugha's potential destinations include Texans, 49ers, Broncos, and Cardinals, per league source.

Re: Nnamdi Asomugha
 

I suspect he was money hungry when he had a boastful rep to push.... (shutdown corner, don't challenge his side of the field) A humbled man may not be so quick now to chase whats not best for him, we have a terrific shot.

Re: Nnamdi Asomugha
 

Its funny watching all these big names come across hoping they accept league minimum and yet they leave for lesser teams for more money.

All we have to show thus far is a long snapper...

Re: Nnamdi Asomugha
 

God, we need this guy. I don't wanna hear the age thing. Champ Bailey is still getting it done at a VERY high level and he's 35.

So as long as you don't leave him 1 on 1 with Torrey Smith. But honestly, what CB could go 1 on 1 with Torrey Smith?

Anyways, it was more of the wrong system than level of play for Nnamdi.

Re: Nnamdi Asomugha
 

Free agent CB Nnamdi Asomugha is visiting the 49ers Thursday.

It's already been reported that there's mutual interest here. The Niners are in the market for a bigger corner and Asomugha could be looking to return "home." He played his college ball at Cal and spent the first eight years of his NFL career in Oakland. Asomugha could come very cheap as he's still collecting $4 million from the Eagles in 2013 no matter what.

I think we need to hop on this. It just seems like a natural and seemless fit. He's already collecting 4 million, offer him another 4 on a 1 year deal and see if he bites. DRC took a 1 year 5 million dollar contract for his prove it deal. I wouldn't mind doing a 2 year 10-12 million dollar deal either.

Let's do this Loomis!

Re: Nnamdi Asomugha
 

Forget it...
yet another good player out of reach only hoping they take league minimum or want a "true shot at a championship"

Re: Nnamdi Asomugha
 

Well, papz does bring up a good point, though, about Nnamdi already banking 4 million from the Eagles this year. We should have a decent shot at him, but we'll just have to see how much more other teams are willing to risk for him. I also have no idea if the Saints are even pursuing him.

Re: Nnamdi Asomugha
 

Baily got it done except for being completely shafted in the playoffs.

On his way to speak to the 49ers.
The way them and Seahawks going at it,it doubt he leaves without a deal.

Re: Nnamdi Asomugha
 

Don’t rule out Saints in Nnamdi chase | ProFootballTalk
The 49ers have lured cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha back to the Bay Area for a visit. But don’t rule out the team that employs one of the men who coached Nnamdi when he played in Oakland.

Saints defensive coordinator Rob Ryan is believed to be making a big push to get Nnamdi to New Orleans, per a source with knowledge of Asomugha’s situation.

Other interested teams include the Cardinals, Texans, and Broncos.

When Asomugha signed with the Eagles in 2011, Ryan’s Cowboys provided the stiffest competition. In the end, Asomugha picked Philly, but only after Ryan nearly convinced him to choose Dallas.

Said the source of Asomugha’s attitude toward Ryan: “[Asomugha] loves him and trusts him.”

If Nnamdi, who has never played in a playoff game during 10 NFL season, gets out of San Fran without a contract, the Saints could be the team to watch.

Re: Nnamdi Asomugha
 

Champ was getting ROASTED last season...lol

Re: Nnamdi Asomugha
 

I dont think he leaves San Fran without a deal. If he does. He's ours.

Re: Nnamdi Asomugha
 

As crazy as it sounds, I'm hearing we have SLIGHTLY more cap space than the niners at this point, so we could afford to pay him slightly more than them.

Can anybody verify this?

Re: Nnamdi Asomugha
 

Shoe, we also need a Left Tackle, Backup Quarterback, 3-4 Defensive End.

Re: Nnamdi Asomugha
 

With that said you can still lure him in with a big signing bonus but low base salary so you won't take too much off the cap.

Re: Nnamdi Asomugha
 

We need more than that.

Re: Nnamdi Asomugha
 

Yeah you right.

Lol But can't i just enjoy the thought for a little while?

I'm hoping we can land an older QB FA on the relative-cheap, and with some luck land either an OT or DE/OLB instant-impact player in the draft, so our major FA signings can have some more $$ behind them. After all, money talks and...well you know what walks.

In the end I am a realist about the "stars aligning" nature of my FA/draft hopes. But it sure would be nice for PayLoo to not hit a homer, but a bases clearing Grand Slam.

Re: Nnamdi Asomugha
 

we dont need a major FA signing like Nnamdi...

we have the cap room to get a few decent players that fit the 34... Now if we get rid of or restructure Harper that changes things a bit. Restructuring Harper gives us the ability to make a big splash in the FA market.

Re: Nnamdi Asomugha
 

I think if we make these corners stick not only Harper is gone, but Greer also.......

Re: Nnamdi Asomugha
 

dont want this guy.....we will pay good money for a guy whos good years are behind him...has anyone watch him play the last 2 years...he is not versatile he has no awareness and gives up huge plays.....but i guess that fits the new orleans defense....lets pay him top dollar

Re: Nnamdi Asomugha
 

Simply cutting Roman Harper would allow us enough cap space to nab Nnamdi, grab a decent 3-4 end, add a reasonable backup QB, and select an adequate left tackle in the draft.

Am I wrong?

Re: Nnamdi Asomugha
 

god i hope we dont get Nnambi

Re: Nnamdi Asomugha
 

Schefter reporting that we couls see Keenan Lewis sign today.


@LarryHolder: RT @AdamSchefter: Next CB deal likely done is in New Orleans. Saints are close to deal with Steelers free-agent CB Keenan Lewis that could be done today

Re: Nnamdi Asomugha
 

I somewhat agree, but have you seen the Eagles defense overall the past 2 years? Arguably, there was ZERO coaching going on there. Their defense was packed with talented players and played "limp wrist" football at best. Total slackers because they never really replaced their DC Jim Johnson after he died in 2009.

He's only 31... sometimes a new team brings the swagger back to players. Thoughts?

Re: Nnamdi Asomugha
 

Just a random thought but would people be against signing Nnamdi Asomugha and then somehow getting Tyrann Mathieau in the draft (not the first round)

Re: Nnamdi Asomugha
 

Would love to see Tyrann drafted, but in later rounds. He would have a chance to prove himself in training camp. But using a higher draft pick isn't an option in my opinion. He has to prove he is NFL material AND that he can play football without smoking pot.

Re: Nnamdi Asomugha
 

For some reason i think this has become a real possibility. I was watching a interview with him and he was talking about how he was on a plane sitting next to Rob Ryan and Ryan was joking around about how he was going to draft him and turn him into this amazing corner back. Although Tyrann said they were just joking around i honestly think there may have been some truth to what was said
And i personally think that Nnamdi and Greer would be a solid tandem and Tyrann becoming our slot corner would potentially give us a solid/deadly cornerback crew

Re: Nnamdi Asomugha
 

Does Nnamdi fit the 49ers defensive scheme? Idk for sure but isnt SF a zone defense?

Re: Nnamdi Asomugha
 

I loved watching the Honeybadger during his ball hawking LSU college days & would welcome him here but the best thing for that kid might be to get as far, far away from N.O. as possible. A pocketfull of dough and the same knucklehead influences could spell disaster long term. Just my opinion...

Re: Nnamdi Asomugha
 

I agree but at the same time....all of these infractions happend while he was on campus in BR.....it seems to me he needs to stay away from LSU more than N.O.

I get the thinking....its just bad influences are everywhere not just in the place you grew up in. I still think they shoule draft him if he's available in later rounds....at some point the whole "good for the lockerroom" schtick doesn't bring in enough actual talent for you to win. Sometimes you have sacrafice to win and take a chance on a knuckle head or 2.

Re: Nnamdi Asomugha
 

+1. I hope he does well wherever he ends up.

Nnamdi Asomugha didn't eat with rest of Philadelphia Eagles -- report - ESPN

But is he a good teammate? He reportedly pointed the finger to his teammates when coverage broke down...

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

good question

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

If we sign Nnamdi Asomugha, then Greer and Robinson are done...
