Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)

this is a discussion within the NFL Community Forum; I'm very excited about this, but I'm torn also. Can we afford him after the big Keenan Lewis contract? And we still need a left tackle and a defensive end, but I guess we can address these in the draft. ...

Cutting Roman Harper outright would allow us to address ALL of these however.....

By the time the LT pool dwindles you will see them pick someone dependable up like a Max Starks....

Harpers gone if Nnamdi signs, and maybe Jabari too. Then it's time to talk to Mr Brees about a nice restructure to help out!!!

Loomis gets paid to figure out the money...
I don't pretend to know what goes on in the front office.

Re: Namdi coming to New Orleans tommorow!!!!

YEA THERE HAS TO BE A DEAL ALREADY IN PLACE TO TRADE ROMAN HARPER!
Reasons why Harper will either be cut outright or traded:
1. Mickey never called his agent to try to lower his salary like all the other older veterans. 2. Sean's been fairly critical of Roman's play in saying he has to evaluate the defensive side of the ball with a critical and rational eye! Even going on to saying he would have to look at everyone equally and acknowledging that we have to separate what we're attached to!!3. Roman's cap number is something close to the Franchise Tag for a safety or which is obsurd! BYE had a nice run He's more valuable in 4-3 Defense where he can be a 5th blitzer instead in a 3-4 you have an extra LB for 5th blitzer so basically he's about useless giving how he fails at being an effective and consistent tackler! So we can trsde him towards the draft hopefully or cut him!! Then for LT I hope we get either Menelik Watson or Terron Armstead anywhere from 2nd rd down! We need a passrusher in 1st unless we don't sign Namdi then we could look at CB but it's either CB, DT,or OLB!! #WHODAT

Nnamdi has played on two terrible teams IMHO coming to a great lockeroom land reuniting with Ryan he would do wonders for his motivation, Two years ago this guy was the prize FA . He might be willing to take a one year deal to revive his career. Ithink we will use our early picks on DL,OLB, OL, he has to be better than any late rd pick.

I trust in SP and The Big Lebowski. Dallas will regret letting him go...

Re: Nnamdi visiting Saints on Sunday

Sorry guys. Can't get excited about this unless he comes for peanuts. I've watched this guy play for two years in the Philly area and I'm not impressed. Essentially he doesn't: a) tackle and b) cover very well on man coverage.

Even on a "bad D" his numbers should reflect pass defense at a minimum and they don't.

I, for one, believe he's more hype than substance and at 31, we can get a younger (and cheaper) option than Jason David 2.0 or P.Rob Sr....
