Eagles to cut nnamdi later today

[JoseLuisGotcha]

dont dude have a bad heart?

naw he's a good dude....heard he did a toy drive for christmas last year

Spoiler

yea they might not take him...chiefs will take Luke Joeckel so we might take Eric Fisher

hes total garbo now, but Detroit could use the veteran presence. cant see any contender spending serious money on dude he was never quick and has gotten slower

No doubt he needs to get cut, but I have seen him run side by side on top WRs like Andre Johnson on one-on-one coverage and shut them down regurlary at Oakland. Dude was very fast in his prime. I think dude playing in a zone scheme when he got to the Eagles is what messed him up early on. Dude lost his confidence and players gained it against him. But he has to adjust that style because most teams run it on their defense. Teams will be lining up to get him.

Nnamdi is a GREAT guy no doubt, his off the field self is but on the field

I would of preferred switching Nnamdi to free safety (obviously on a restructured deal but not at fifteen million per year ) and signing a free agent strong safety.

Objectively viewing Nnamdi this season.

whoever signs, he should be a Charles Woodsonesque free safety, too many times wide receivers have beaten him deep the past two years and it was not always attributable to the Eagles lack of competency at the safety position. (Safeties are called safeties for a reason, they are the last line of defense on a long completion or long run, you still as a corner have to cover that guy)

NNamdi has lost some speed but he can still contribute.and he is also he is a below average tackler for a corner of his size (thanks a lot Oakland). He is still smart and physical on coverage. He is just not a every down corner anymore.

Hopefully he comes back next year with something to prove.

I think he will.It's going to be one of those cases where people think he's dead

But he jumps up and goes ham.Especially if he makes his way back to the Bay

 

[Absolut]

he literally was one of the worst cb's in the league last year. couple that with his salary, and good riddance

 

[PTBG]

Come back home Nnamdi!!! Come home!!! Make it happen McKenzie.

Last year, it was widely presumed that the Eagles would cut cornerback Asante Samuel and his eight-figure salary. Then, out of nowhere, the Eagles traded Samuel to the Falcons.

It’s important to keep that in mind as we now assume the Eagles will cut cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha.

If the Eagles cut him, they’ll still owe him $4 million, with no offset for what he earns elsewhere. So why not agree to pay the $4 million and send him for a late-round pick to a team that would then sign him to a new contract?

Last year, the Eagles got only a seventh-round selection for Samuel. But that’s still a lot more than nothing, which is what a team gets if/when it cuts a player. (Indeed, compensatory draft picks are available only when players leave after their contracts expire.) This year, it makes even more sense for the Eagles to try to get something in return for the $4 million that they’ll be paying Asomugha whether he’s on the team or not.

Regardless of what happens, it looks like it’ll be happening soon. A source with knowledge of the situation expects a resolution within the next few days.

Which means that the Eagles may have plans for the $11 million in cap savings they’ll create by trading or cutting Nnamdi. Thanks to the pay-as-you-go contract signed by Asomugha in 2011, dumping his deal results in no cap acceleration.

I mean he is better than Kurt Coleman who is undersized and has some mental lapses at the position. Nnamdi did play free safety at UCLA


Tackling at Free Safety is much easier than being a cornerback tackling. (Cornerback in the NFL has to be the second toughest if not the toughest position in the nfl today).

Alot of top tier corners late in their career have converted to free safety successfully when they lose some of their speed like Charles Woodson and Troy Vincent for example.

No Question, that Nnamdi has the smarts to play the position.

Also he is an alright tackler. Way better than DRC last year

Yeah right, he better be coming back as a safety. As a matter of fact naw we good, why not bring back C-Wood while we're at it?

Might as well trade for DeAngelo Hall too while we are at it. And bring Rod Woodson out of retirement too, D can't get any worse.

I'd still bet they'd all pick off Palmer in every practice session!
