Delmas & Knighton seem good bets.

i agree but its the freaking contract and the time left them and the freaking carry over that kills us. Harper is signed longer than Jenkins. would you let Jenkins go and team Harper with Huff?

I would rather it be the other way around.

Huff at Free Safety Jenkins at Strong Safety...

so that bring me back to LB that are young and have shown they can handle themselves in a 34

I know many here think Nnamdi Asomugha would be a great addition to the roster; I'm in the minority and would rather find a talent like Lewis young in FA or find talent via the Draft...

Asomugha's attitude in Philadelphia and his age are major red flags for me...

I'd rather add someone like Michael Huff, whose made money, but has found that money doesn't translate to a winning team, atmosphere...

Having Huff would allow the Saints to move Jenkins to cornerback or have him at Strong Safety and release from Harper's contract...

...stay tuned...

So, would you then place Jenkins in the nickel and have Robinson or White be the dime?

I'm still fully on board with the Asomugha signing, naturally it would have to be around $4M/yr max, but if he would be willing to sign for $3M/yr I think you'd have to be foolish to not want him.

Jenkins is often in the slot anyways because of his size and ability to jam receivers at the line...

As far as not wanting him, I'd rather commit limited resources (cap space) in a deal like that for Lewis, where we're getting a younger player that we can build around...

I do, however, have concerns for Nnamdi Asomugha's age and decline in skills; either way, let's butter the popcorn and see what happens...
