The easy answer is probably a little of both, but he's not exactly old by CB comparisons.

I lean toward the square peg/round hole issue. I know exactly what that looks like.

Ditto Danno

My my could we afford his services. Not possible. What would he want? If its to be on a winning club , its here. If its for money . Cleveland. Jacksonville.buffalo etc.

Like I said born in Lafayette and RR to coach him is a real good place for Nnamdi to end up his career and with a superbowl win.

We?Saints fans saw some of that this past year perhaps? A golden apple doesn't turn into a road apple. Players fit in certain systems and not others. Ryan should know better than others, where his talents lie.

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.

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.

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

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...

TreyThomas · 03-14-2013, 08:07 AM

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.
