Cards signed Antoine Cason. You can remove them from this list of potential suitors.

I have a great deal of respect for Harbaugh and what the 49ers organization has accomplished. But they are either wrong about this Asomugha cat or the eagles are an even more lousy organization than I thought.

He wants to be on the Niners a lot more than the Niners are willing to even paying market value for him let alone overpaying.

Namdi is slow and soft. Bottom line. Niners like to flirt with all there options. Relax everybody we have not signed him. Let H&B work there magic. These guys know what there doing. Btw… Only thing worst than a random Steelers fan on a Niner thread is having to work with not 1 but 2 Steeler fans. Fml. But hey at least they know there not making the playoffs anytime soon.

Yes, the whole Eagles’ D sucked, starting with Nambi. Played like Bambi.

I dont like the idea he doesnt seem to thrive in zone coverage and gets beat deep a lot when he is in man to man but hey what do i know Balke seems to know what he is doing for the most part

Look at the end of year stats for each of the Eagles CBs. Nnamdi’s numbers are the highest. So let’s say the Eagles used their players to their strengths, if Nnamdi sucked so bad, and he garnered better stats, then could it be that the whole Eagles’ D sucked?

Yes I know but if the money is put off 2 years from now then it will count as a hit then. So are the Niners going in all now only to end up with dead money in a couple of seasons, unable to sign anyone and needing to dump players? So far yes. That is not smart.

Clearly most of you don’t know what you are talking about. The Eagles ran a man on man coverage last year. That’s why they got rid of Asante Samuel because he doesn’t fit in that scheme. Nnamdi was used correctly last year and just sucked it up. Anytime he gets beat he blames the safety. Hope the 49ers get him.

Vikesfan ok first off about cap we paarge who is a genius secondly I don’t think u understand let’s take pat Willis contract he sign a 50mil contract for 5 years well we can structure it however and I’d Willis signs off on it that’s what we did so instead of Willis getting 10mil every year last year he got 16mil this year he counts as a 4mil hit so there is an extra 12 mil in cap as well so that’s how just remember just cause its a 50 mil contract for 5 years doesnt mean 10 per it can be structured however as long as agent and team sign off

When will teams learn that high priced free agents are for non-playoff teams.

Ravens 5 straight playoff years, 2 AFC title games, one Superbowl, and one kick away or caught pass away from back to back Superbowls.

Can you name one high priced FA from another team?

Cricketts.

Why don’t you other franchises basking in past glories sick back and watch the great and powerful Oz. He is already doing is magic signing Spears and Canty to very cap friendly deals. Just get ready its just a matter of time before Week 1 hits and the Ravens show this league whose boss…AGAIN.

Any GM who even considers bringing this guy in should be fired on the spot. HE CAN’T PLAY, PEOPLE! It’s not the scheme – despite what many uninformed people say, the Eagles played Nnamdi in predominantly man coverage last year and it made no difference. The problem with Nnamdi is that he is way too slow, has no agility or ball skills, doesn’t understand defensive schemes, always blows assignments, and constantly looks to scapegoat his teammates every time he gets burned (which is about 8 – 10 times per game). If you want a better CB than Nnamdi, all you need to do is spend a 3rd or 4th round pick and plug in a rookie.

He was playing fine until the Eagles got a hold of him and had him playing some daft zone schemes. And the Eagles fans are here crowing about how bad he is without considering that he was misused.

Couple that with the dream team mentality of the underachieving locker room Eagles’ had for a few years and a thinking person might conclude that Philly hasn’t been a place where shut-down corners go to shine.

Now he may have lost a step over his seven years in the league but he didn’t lose his athletic ability, and his asking price may be a bit high but he deserves to get what the market will bear.

He did some of his best work under Rob Ryan, current D coordinator for the Saints. He’d be welcomed in New Orleans so if they ask him, I hope he says “yes!”

Everytime Steeler fans get an opportunity to show the world how classless they are, they pass with flying colors. The only sports fans in America that are worse are the inbred Alabama fans whose sisters are also their wives.

Vikingsfansteve they had 9.2 mil in space AFTER bringing in Skuta. Worry about your own team. As for Nnamdi…. Only dirt cheap because I’d personally rather have Desmond Trufant or Xavier Rhodes. Jonathan Banks too

nnamdi is definitely a steal for whoever signs him! look forward to missed tackles, excessive pi illegal hands, holding allowing wr 100+ rec yards, tds, blaming safeties for his coverage errors etc.. go get him 49ers/saints

Eagles wanted to keep Nnamdi too and restructure his contract he said no so u released him u guys have Michael Vick a 100 million dollar contract after one season asked him to restructure it please stop telling the 49ers front office what to do and take a look at what the eagles front office is doing!!!! To the eagles fans!!!

As a Seahawks fan, I would love for the 49ers to pick him up. He allowed 14 touchdown passes last season? SIGN HIM UP!

By: 49ersnation27

49ersnation27 — Sun, 17 Mar 2013 17:44:13 +0000

Eagles are the only ones that over hyped Nnamdi eagles gave him 60 million for 5 years 49ers wanted him two years ago too but didn’t want to pay him that much they thought it was to much money for him so the eagles are the one to blame for paying him to much!!!!

vikesfansteve — Sun, 17 Mar 2013 17:34:05 +0000

Yes I’m aware that trading Smith and cutting Akers freed up cap space but after trading for Boldin there was only 4.6 million left in cap space and they signed Dorsey 2 yrs 6 mil, Skuta, and Dahl 3 yr 5 mil and between Dorsey and Dahl payed 3 mil in signing bonuses. So once again with only 4.6 under the cap, how are the 49ers able to do this? Plus sign Asomugha and then sign 14 picks. Oh yeah they also tendered Brock for 1.2 mil. So what’s up?

Obviously a lot of you don’t remember that after he failed in zone coverage the Eagles custom made a defense to use his so called talents in man to man coverage. And he was still getting smoked on just about every play. And walking back to the huddle with his hands on his hips. The guy isn’t any good anymore face it.

Come get a ring with us in SF! Then we will have our CBs and maybe draft Trufant or our bigger need FS.

kenny328usa — Sun, 17 Mar 2013 17:09:56 +0000

These teams are getting caught up in the name he created in Oakland. He can no longer play press coverage or zone. The guy is no longer better than a below average corner. And on top of that he is soft and has no heart. So whichever team signs him will be making the same mistake the eagles did. Good Luck!

People aaying phi didnt use him right need to watch more football. Eagles used him everyway possible. He needed to be put into zone so he could rely on the safeties when he got burned. Man, man press, zone… he sucked at em all.

I remember hearing the same things about how bad Carlos Rodgers was when the niners picked him up 2 years ago. To old, to slow, no hands. Then he made the Pro Bowl in Fangio’s system that year. Namdi would be fine with the Niners.
