Re: New Orleans Saints Better Off Not Signing Nnamdi Asomugha

His salary, though reasonable, is more than Asomugha is going to get. If I'm wrong, then don't expect to see him here.![]()
You brought up players we over paid for. That's cool, I didn't say we never made a bad deal. We had money to give then. The reason I say you can rest assured we will NOT over pay for Nnamdi, is because it is simply impossible right now. Also, I'm aware that we would get little savings from releasing Greer or Robinson. The only way to save is to somehow find a trade partner. I brought up our safeties because they present the same problem. You're saying we should pursue Huff, but that would mean dealing with the financial burden of getting rid of one of our safeties... Now don't misunderstand, I would like an upgrade and Huff could be a nice addition. But he is likely gong to command more than the Saints can give. So they're going after other options, and it is in the opinion of the Saints, as well as many of us that Asomugha can be a very good player for us. We're either going to roll with the safeties we have, and bear with it, or we might draft a guy like Kenny Vaccaro. While Huff might be a nice upgrade, I do strongly disagree that he would give us a Darren Sharper type of impact. He has never been close to that kind of player before. If you don't want Nnamdi, that's ok. But I'm not really buying into the argument against him. |
If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
