Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)

How many players are we going to sign for whom the "magic payday" resulted in their lack of commensurate performance. I'd rather hungry and slightly less talented than supremely talented and unmotivated.

Maybe we should put their contracts in a performance base only type of way, we wouldn't have to worry about a salary cap issue, he!! the way our D played last year they would be elgible for food stamps.

REALLY?! This guy is one of our starting QBs and with Nnamdi, lewis. greer, robinson and porter coming back our secondary will be the best in the nfl.

with victor, lofton, vilma, hawthorne not bad at linebacker either

if we land albert at lt

all we need is the dline and the draft should be about nothing but the dline

That sounds pretty magical.....don't count on it though.

I can't imagine how we can make ALL of that work. It is nice to dream though.

I sort of don't understand the fuss about Aso. I mean, if the price is acceptable, why not? It's a passing league, and any team can use all of the DB help they can get. It's fairly obvious that we plan on addressing out pass rush woes in the draft. The DB market is very buyer friendly this year. I say go for it. No one is complaining about the year we brought Sharper in, and he was in far worse condition with many more miles on him. Also, let's not forget that the general consensus around the entire league is that Aso was misused in an inappropriate scheme in Philly.

I think that it is obvious that the Saints want Nnamdi and they want to upgrade their pass rush with young talent from the draft

It does appear that way. They may also be confident in Galette and Wilson as well. I'm hoping Ryan saw film of Galette and thinks he can make this young man a dominant force. I hope he sees some Demarcus Ware type talent in him.

It's time for Nnamdi to come home to Louisiana. Come home, Nnamdi. Come home.

Yawn.....let me know if he signs....this convo is getting old. At least if he signs we can light up the board with arguing and disastrous and hopeful projections.

Maybe asumuaga didnt like the turf in philly like a race horse likes only certan tracks or conditions to the turf or dirt. Maybe he loves him some superdome for a superbowl.
