Peter Kings 5 Teams in play for Nnamdi

THE MARKET FOR NNAMDI. "As always, great column. That said, what are your thoughts on Nnamdi Asomugha? It appears the Eagles are planning on making a big run at him, only drafting one cornerback, in what seem to be the team's most glaring need. I'd appreciate your thoughts, realizing that this bogus lockout is limiting your ability to gather information on player movements.''
--Adam, Philadelphia

That last statement is absolutely right. Teams are very, very careful to not tip their hands on free agents, for fear of being wrist-slapped (or worse) by the league. I could see five teams with big wallets going after him: Philadelphia, Houston, Dallas, Detroit and the Jets -- but the Jets ONLY if there's not going to be a salary cap in 2011. See, that's the difficult thing to forecast. If there's a cap, I can't see the Jets in the running, because paying two cornerbacks a combined $35 million a year (or some such lunatic number) would squeeze too many contributing players off their team. Detroit's probably a dark horse, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Ford family, which has to be as excited about its team as it's been since the prime Barry Sanders days, would authorize a big check for Asomugha.

Lions...Nnamdi?

I personally don't see it happening. I think Philly has the best chance

Haha, I'm willing to bet that if they sign him you'll claim he's the greatest corner ever.

lol, naw im not like that at all, if i dont like a player it wont change my mind because my team signs him...i dont HATE Nnamdi, and i know hes a "decent" CB but all the hype that comes with him is blown out of proportion...like i said hes 'decent" not great and if the Jets signed him i wouldnt change my stance on that.

Wow, if he's decent....then idk what a good, or pretty or even a great corner is.

What if they got Nnamdi, and then signed Bulger or some other good FA QB like McNabb to be their backup / 75% of the regular season Starter? OMFG mindexplosion!

Why the hell would they do that? Shaun Hill is better than both of them? Shaun Hill did a great job running Linehans offense and got better as the season progressed.

What do you mean? Why wouldn't I be surprised that a Jets homer thinks Darrelle Revis is the best CB ever to grace the NFL? lol

He didn't say that. He said Revis is a great corner and better than Asomugha. Two pretty clearly true statements. He didn't go and make up a ton of fake stats and bullshit like you would do.

Noo all he did was come with no stats and say Revis is a better CB.
Just like when you say Sanchez is better than Flacco or Flacco is better than Sanchez.

Actually, when I make claims about Sanchez or Flacco I fully support them with stats and REAL things. Like how Joe Flacco is a choke artist and sucks in any and all big games. You must have missed those 500 posts I made on the subject I guess?

Same goes for Revis and Asomugha.. Revis consistently covers other team's #1 receivers, shuts them down, has a lower completion % against, etc.
