Watch film before you have him placed on another team. He was close to horrible last year, not to mention slower and now older.

To the guy who used “smart contracts” and Philadelpia Eagles in the same sentence. See: Michael Vick or DeSean Jackson

Idk what GM would trade for a DB at this point, even for Namdi. “Let me see… do I trade for a back, spend a draft pick and have to sign the player to a multi-million dollar contract? Or instead should I wait a week and do all that without spending a pick?” Namdi will be cut within the next 3-4 weeks. He will be available. There are plenty of good cornerns in F/A and the draft this year.

The Colts can use a vet CB,
they have the cash and GM Ryan Grigson KNOWS that player.
I’m betting the Colts are taking a long look.

Asomugha isn’t going anywhere. He is the cornerstone of Chip Kelly’s dream team 2.o. Got to have that obligatory over paid, over hyped, and over rated defender to build the dynasty that Vick spoke of.

Hmmmmm, Eagles’ right side defensive backfield blows coverages all season long…

There’s NO WAY it could’ve been Nate Allen so it MUST’VE been Nnamdi! Yeah that’s it! Nnamdi is the bum, not Nate Allen. Nothing was Allen’s fault, he’s great! He was always in position and NEVER blew a coverage. You know what? There’s no way it was Juan Castillo’s scheme either, what a great scheme it was! I can’t think of any reason whatsoever to have him fired. Todd Bowles is such an amazing coach too! Why didn’t HE got coach of the year? He’s awesome!! Speaking of awesome, how ’bout Kurt Coleman?!? Man that guy should be in the Pro-bowl every year, he’s so great!!! He should be an Eagle for LIFE!!! Forget about DRC, that guy’s such a bum!! What a garbage player!! Who needs him and Nnamdi when you’ve got the greatest safety tandem of all-time in Nate Allen and Kurt Coleman!!! We need to sign those two to 10 year contracts. You can’t let talent like theirs slip away!! I bet the rest of the NFL is SOOO jealous of our safeties!!!

Trade Chip Kelly for a sixth round draft pick.

This guy stunk for the Eagles from day 1. It didn’t matter if he was playing zone, man to man, or in the slot. He was a sub par tackler as well. Eagles will get rid of this guy, and the sooner the better for them. People that think the Eagles didn’t use him right, didn’t watch this guy play this year. I would agree, the 1st season they played a lot of zone, but this season, he was playing man coverage almost every play, and he was getting smoked in every game multiple times..

People can say Namdi’s play has really fallen but I believe its really the system. You cant take a guy who plays man for 5-6 years and then throw him into a 4-3 zone system. Id like to see if Revis could do the same. Put Namdi back into his old system and he will once again be one of the great.

Send Nnamdi to the Giants, Cowboys or Redskins!

Nnamdi to San Francisco makes a lot of sense. He wants to back to the West Coast, the Niners are a great team, the Niners have something like 15 draft picks, plus there is the Gamble connection.

The Eagles made everyone on their team suck last year. In man coverage, Nnamdi is as good as any CB in the league.

Say what you want…the problem wasn’t Asomugha. The problem was the Eagles! I think everyone made their share of mistakes. Asomugha should improve when he moves onto a different team and if he doesn’t, then I will stand corrected.

I will say however that I believe Chip Kelly will be an awesome coach for the Eagles but only if the team buys into his high tempo approach. Based on how many players whine today about working too hard…I can’t say it will work out for the best unfortunately.

Nnamdi is a very good CB who will play in the league for several more seasons.

The main problem in philly was having an O-line coach run the defense.

Nnamdi will play somewhere else in 2013 and he will perform well, guaranteed.

Come to Green Bay Nnamdie, where your abilities would be recognized and properly utilized. You would make a great replacement for Charles Woodson.

@ryanbowman8286

I hate to break it to you, but if you watched any of the Eagles games this year you’d know he got burned in man coverage on a consistent basis. And you’re a fool if you don’t think Aso was playing any zone in Oakland.

Aso played mostly man the entire season for the Eagles. It’s the reason they let Asante go. They had him out of position for the 2011 season. They wanted to go man with him and DRC for this previous 2012 season and that’s what they did. He just failed at it. Seriously, watch the games. Watch him get burned in Man then wave his arms around looking for someone to blame. All the Eagles fans saw it.

I love how people who clearly never watched an eagles game in the last two years are so certain that Nnamdi is still an elite player who the Eagles misused. The guy can’t cover, can’t tackle, and screws up his assignments regularly. He’s one of the worst starting CBs in the NFL. The tape doesn’t lie.

this is remanisent of when the packers swooped up Charles Woodson and jumpstarted his career. I know its not a typical Packer move, but it wasnt then either

By: topgun1019

Nnamdi to the Niners! They can use a couple of their 15 draft picks that they have this year, say a 4 or a 5. That still leaves plenty of draft picks available to trade for Revis!!!

By: ryanbowman8286

ryanbowman8286 — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 22:32:52 +0000

Asomugha is not a bum. He just didn’t fit the style or scheme the Eagles had implemented and by looking at their record, none of the “All Stars” they signed did either. They had an offensive line coach as their Defensive Coordinator, what do you expect?

When he was with the Raiders under the Al Davis regime, the defense was always the same. Man to man and rush four. We had a great defensive line at the time and Asomugha’s skill was playing man to man. He was shutting people down for a good 2 years before people recognized it. Nobody wanted to throw his way. He was also a good tackler then.

Maybe playing out of his comfort zone made it to where he was thinking too much and playing in too many different spots, that he wasn’t always in position to make the proper tackle. It happens.

I’ve already taken the liberty of packing his bags for him and I’ve purchased him a ticket on the next train leaving philly. its not important where its going as long as its going anywhere else.

There is a new kid on the block and he will be playing cornerback for the Raiders and his name is Taiwan Jones and trust me he will have his own island by the end of 2013 because of his speed and ability to find the ball. Was great on special teams by the end of last year and I will be the one that told you so.

just a tip Mike, a synonym for ‘got’ is ‘receive’. It sounds a lot more professional.

Mike: Last year, the Eagles got only a seventh-round selection for Samuel

Except that everyone knows they’re going to cut him if they can’t trade him… Where’s the leverage?

Where’s the leverage? Ask the Falcons. They must have it laying around somewhere in the Georgia Dome.

Plenty of teams will trade for him. You clown are nuts. That whole defense suck guys traded, cut , waived during season that team suck no doubt about it. I hope he lands on the ravens a team that has safeties to help Cbs out so they don’t get beat deep

Because teams are in dire need of an aging CB in the decline that would be making $15 millions next year. Sure.

Whichever team is considering trading for Asomugha must fire its GM.

Considering the Steelers gave William Gay $4.5 mil, maybe they’re interested in having 2 overpriced, old guys who can no longer cover. Idiocy does love company.
