He cant stay healthy he probably has averaged around 6 games per season over the last 3 years.
I hope he signs a 1 year deal with some team this year and dominates. That way the following year he could get a decent contract and finish his career with his head held high.
I doubt hes healthy enough to get it done but I hope it happens.

Slim chance he even gets any other offers. He is simply not that good.

I am already sick of watching teams throw bubble screens in front of Asante all day long before he’s scared of contact – and I am going to have to watch that for several more years. Glaring hole in the D, and he commands a ton of cash?!?

If I was a player, I’d ask for the largest signing bonus i could get, with a diminishing pay structure so teams have incentive to KEEP you rather than CUT you..

You overestimated your worth. You made some big interceptions at times, but you generally faded in most games.

Another client poorly served by the unrealistic expectations generated by Rosenhaus.

He is unmotivated to play.
