Re: Report: Saints “Pushing” To Sign CB Nnamdi Asomugha
 
Was is he torn by...

If San Fran would have done a terrific job, he would have never got on a plane...

And if he wanted to be with the Saints, he would have signed by now...

Does he want the Saints to release players (i.e. Harper) so the Saints can meet his salary commands despite get 4+ from Philly in guaranteed money...

Let's move on...

Wouldn't the money be better spent on a pass rush, which at some point last year everyone complained about. The inability to get to opposing QB's without blitzing.

I would think so Joker. i would be putting OT ahead of both but they will do as they please and it aint so bad to have a problem of to many good CB on the roster

C'mon just sign somebody! This same news and speculations are getting old! We need something new to argue about.

Usually March Madness is taking care of me at this time, but I'm not sure I can wait another month for something to happen!

It's more than likely not even about the money. I guarantee that he counts as the league minimum against the cap this year for whoever signs him. He'll get a two year deal with a nice signing bonus and maybe $7-8 guaranteed, with most of that back loaded on the second year. We have (and will) do a lot worse for our team with a lot more money. I wouldn't sweat it. Loomis has these things figured out and wouldn't even pursue him if he couldn't make it work for the team as a whole. The decision for Asomugha boils down to either playing for an already proven defense without knowing his roll or playing for the coach that "made" him on an unproven defense. It's a tough spot.

Agreed. I also think he is sorta holding the phone line open a while longer in case a third team wants to jump in and make a bid.

If I'm wrong about this guy I'll be the first to admit it, but he spent the last two years being burned by every WR he lined up against whether it was man coverage or zone.
I hope his signing if he does doesn't result in us losing a younger player.
