Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)

this is a discussion within the NFL Community Forum; Maybe his feelings were hurt that we only gave him a little time with the GM and HC. I guess we expected Ryan to close the deal for us. Regardless, it looks like Ryan does know how to use Namdi ...

Re: New Orleans Saints Better Off Not Signing Nnamdi Asomugha

I don't mind if we can sign a guy like Nnamdi. But our problem is the front 7... not so much corner back. New coordinator or not, you can't mask the fact that the same players who have not been able to give you a pass rush the past few seasons are still here.

I don't care who we have playing corner for us. In todays game, most secondary's are going struggle without a good pass rush.

And some quality safety help on the back side would help our corners too. I Really want Vacarro....then again,I REALLY want j.jones! I wish we could find a way to get 2 first rounders.....especially in this draft.

Re: New Orleans Saints Better Off Not Signing Nnamdi Asomugha

I think if we do get him we won't spend much in cap the first year. Loomis knows what he's doing. The fact that Coach and Loomis met with Nnamdi means alot to me. I think there just trying to work the details out now. If we could keep Lewis, Nnamdi, Greer and Robinson together for 3 years that is 3 possible Superbowls and that's hard for anyone to pass up.

Re: New Orleans Saints Better Off Not Signing Nnamdi Asomugha

I stopped reading after the second paragraph. It was more than enough to see that this is an extremely insulting article.

First off, what's with this crap about us being one of the fan bases who wants a quick fix? What the hell does this guy know about our fans? EVERY single fan base has people who want a quick fix, and we are absolutely no exception. But to suggest that ALL of us want a quick fix is absurd. The vast majority of us are well informed and are painfully aware of our cap situation, and the fact that we can't just splurge.

Secondly, most of us are not infatuated with just names. I, for one, know the difference between a washed up old star, and a veteran who has quality football left in him at a reasonable price. I don't want Nnamdi because I recognize his name. I want him because he was great not that long ago, and I find it hard to believe that he just forgot how to play football at the age of 31.

And why does this guy think Asomugha has a hefty asking price? Has he spoken to him personally? I've read a lot of articles about Nnamdi in recent days, and I have yet to see any salary figures thrown around.

Lastly, how can Nnamdi possibly make us worse? As I've said, I believe he has good years left, and could possibly be elite again. But given how bad our secondary was, how could Asomugha, of all people, make us worse?

That's four degrees of stupidity... In two paragraphs.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

Re: New Orleans Saints Better Off Not Signing Nnamdi Asomugha

I agree with what is said too. Investing 5 million a year for three corners seem to be too much when we switching to 3 /4 without a PROVEN pass rusher. I trust whatever loomis and sp approve cuz they prove me wrong before. Go SAINTS

Re: New Orleans Saints Better Off Not Signing Nnamdi Asomugha

I guarantee if we get him if won't be 5 million the first 2 years. More along the lines of a 5 million signing bonus and 2 mill a year
