2011 NFL Free Agency: Nnamdi Asomugha Lands With The Philadelphia Eagles
by Ed Valentine on Jul 29, 2011 7:02 PM EDT
in New York Giants News
Email
PrintThis is the nightmare scenario for New York Giants fans. Nnamdi Asomugha has landed in the one place that likely hurts Giants fans -- and their Super Bowl aspirations -- more than the Dallas Cowboys or New York Jets. With the NFC East rival Philadelphia Eagles.
The deal is reportedly worth $60 million over five years, with $25 million guaranteed. And yes, Eagles fans are in a celebratory mood over at Bleeding Green Nation. To be honest, how can anyone blame them?
Along with Darrelle Revis of the Jets, Asomugha is one of the two best cornerbacks in the league. With Asomugha on board, you have to wonder if Philadelphia will keep both Dominque Rodgers-Cromartie, just acquired in the Kevin Kolb trade, and veteran Giants nemesis Asante Samuel.
No matter what they ultimately decide to do with that surplus, this is a stunning move. And I have to agree with BGN's JasonB, who wrote "Good luck to anyone that tries to throw a pass against this defense next year."
Your thoughts, Giants fans! And do your best to keep 'em clean

I agree they're good.
But one of the best ever? I’m not quite that sold on any of them that much.

Not against our receivers...
If we through Hakeem at them, Manningham, maybe Steve Smith, hopefully Plax… then its just an even match.
At the same time, look at their linebackers. Who?
Why won't god let us beat the Eagles?

Vick Has Never Played a Full Season
He still needs to stay healthy. They have marginal depth at RB. Their OL is average and their front 7 on defense is nothing to be scared of. The recipe to beat the eagles this year is going to be go big, get 1 on 1 with your pass catching TE and hammer them with the run. (This keeps the offense off the field too.) Philly is thinking about getting ahead and making you play catchup. If we resign boss we have 2 pass catching TE’s and can go double TE and neutralize their CB’s.
Also I don’t want to hear about how the Eagles always best us until they win 4 Super Bowls in my lifetime.
This one hurts
they either have DRC for the SLOT CB spot… or they trade Samuels and get stronger in the drfat for next year. Either scenario is just not good.
So, if plugging him in makes a huge difference (and I think it will)… I am feeling pretty sure the Eagles can take this division. Hell, anything short of a trip to the SB for them this year would have to be a huge disappointment now, given what they have garnered together without giving up anything too major.
Bye Bye Assante

AS Long as Eli
Doesn’t hit asante in the #‘s he can be had. Yeaj he makes great ints but he’s soft and once u catch it u can take it to the house on em. But I think we def need Plax now, b/c if they keep all 3 we gotta be able to throw the sink @ em and I know Plax aint scared of no CB. + in hindsight they only hav DRC for 1 year so its not that Bad
by AHoustonGiant on Jul 29, 2011 7:38 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
The problem is Gilbride.
Asanti knows our plays as well as our players do. He has 4 years of unimaginative tape to watch on our offense and he is really good at jumping routes.
Logic would dictate that they will entertain offers for Asanti, to try and get younger at the CB spot with DRC and draft picks. But the Eagles know how to manage their cap. It would not surprise me to see all 3 play for them this year.
Thank you, you got it done. Follow me on twitter @it's about time you A-HOLES
We have DRC
for two years. Asante has 3 years left on his contract, but it’s back-loaded (5.9, 8.4, 10.4).
this is awful
we definitely need Bradshaw and another WR who is healthy (I’m not naming any names).

but listen Our running game is really good and remember they lost some LBs and they cant keep all three Samuels is likely gone and not for nothing but couldn’t we have cut or traded Cweb and signed Nmamdi? Cweb is due like 8.?mil Iggles paid like !!. and change
it doesn't get old only keeps getting better

Not trying to sound angry or ungrateful,
lol but this is ridiculous man. We spend our cash on Antrel Rolle, Boley, Bernar and other, while the Eagles pay top dollar for top talent.
We need to stop overpaying players.
It's funny.
NOW people agree we’ve been overpaying average players.
you honestly think the Giants could've not signed a safety last year?
I know sometimes its tough not to deal with things in hindsight, but Antrel Rolle was a must last year. Not after CC Brown and Michael Johnson got burned to a crisp all of the preceding year.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
It's way too much hindsight.
We HAD to sign Rolle.

Yes he’s a good cb. But we all know that a defense needs to jellll.. I do recall 2009 being the year the giants defense was going to be the best. I’m not worried about this all that much. It’ll be just another battle in the nfc east. Nmandi isn’t the only player on defense.

what value is there to freaking out right now? we don’t know how the games will play out (if you do I’m taking you to vegas with me).
Injuries happen, turnovers happen, freak comebacks happen. It’s all part of the game. Why worry now when there’s so much uncertainty before the game is even decided.
Past losses don't count towards this years record do they
If so we’re screwed
If they did
we’d have always beat the Eagles

This is terrible news. Sure we’ve got a good running game, and good receivers, and blah blah blah. The reality is that the best available cover corner in all of football just joined the absolute last team that any of us would hope for him to join. There is just nothing about this that is good. I can tell you that between rooting for the Mets and the Giants I’ve been chewing on one massive shi*t sandwhich for too long now, and I’m about ready to spit it out.
Oh it must be SO hard rooting for the Giants

but let’s not forget they have a brand new defensive coordinator and massive holes at safety and linebacker. Their fans are anointing themselves the best defense in the league but I like our chances running the ball against them this year.
We can only run it if the game is close or we have a lead.
With their offense, they will get alot of leads, lock DRC and Nnamdi on guys, and blitz the hell out of us and everyone else. Add in Babin, Cole and Graham to rush the passer when they have that lead, and you have a very dangerous team.
Thank you, you got it done. Follow me on twitter @it's about time you A-HOLES
eff it
let em pay him all that money and when other players like DJAX and upcoming rising players ask for more $ they can try and work it out with millions going to ONE corner
Definitly not good news but
their D-Line and pass rush is still okay even with Babin and their LB Corps is terrible so they can be run on. On top of that what’s the O-line going to look like. Any time you get the CB like that you definitly have improved so hat’s off on that move Eagle fans should be celibrating.

And I still don’t like this. I have said all along we should get him. As said above, spin it anyway you want, passing against these guys will take some smart thinking.

Too Bad hthey ave Vick at QB
I say this with certainty…. No team will win a championship with Mike Vick at QB because Vick will never be healthy enough. If the Eagles had kept Kolb then I would say they had it right and could do it. But not now, especially with VY in reserve.
All teams in the NFL know that the deal with Vick is to put wear and tear on him. How many games will he miss next year? How long before he limps off the field.
Sure, it makes them a contender, but I don’t consider them a team with a real shot. Vick will miss enough games to sink them.
Don’t fret, their Dline and backers aren’t great, they can still be exposed.
Explain how our team essentially unchanged
Is better than them?
Still lots of time left in the offseason
There is no hope.... there is no future....there is only GRISSIONZ
The 2011 Mets- Rock bottom: We haven't reached it yet
First answer me this
Who on the market would have made the Giants a significantly better team?
This years free agency was full of CB’s (not needed), WR’s (not needed), and thats about it.
So basically you want us to sign players we don’t need, like Nnamdi, instead of signing our own players like RB’s (Ahmad Bradshaw) TE’s (Kevin Boss) DE’s (Kiwi and hopefully Osi situation gets taken care of)
If we don’t take care of our own first, we’re a worse team than last year clearly
I disagree that we didn't need
A top WR. Boss over Miller? Please. There were LB’s to be had. We signed the same guys who have missed the playoffs two years in a row, period.
What receiver out there is better than Nicks...Manningham....Smith?
Only one was Holmes and he wasn’t leaving the Jets no matter what you say. Miller was the Raiders top priority so they would have out bid us period. And there are still LB’s to be had, but I don’t want Reese to go that direction, like you said he tried the FA market before and it didn’t work out to good (but not as bad as your implying), I want our young LB’s to get a legitimate shot at playing but Coughlin doesn’t agree.
DeAngelo Williams
With Jacobs would have been scary
Most of us agreed with that
There was one strong dissenter though.

And
The mistakes of Boley canty Bernard coupled with drafting rookies who do not see thebfield have cost this team dearly.
Our team is very different
Young guys getting older, Old guys getting the boot. If our drafts have been good, then we’re just fine.
BBV- Bring Back Van Pelt
Saying that another team WON'T win a championship
Is a lot different than us beating them.
They probably have the best CB tandem in the league based on pure talent...
but if pure talent won championships the cowboys wouldn’t suck so hard. Let’s chill out and focus on what we can control, our own team.
We have overpaid for mediocre talent, and when you do that...
You screw your cap. Boley, Bernard, canty etc.
I will bet you a dollar
That Linval Joseph will make us forget Cofield…..
Im not saying he wont but
Cofield was as responsible for the great dline as anybody. He took up bodies
we sign Cofield and that would have been a wrap on our Free agency.

You are correct
"Sometimes you make a mistake and you get hit in the head." - Eli Manning
with games against
st louis, arizona, seattle, buffalo, miami, san francisco we likely just need to win 4 or 5 out of wasx2, dalx2, phi x2, NE, NO, GB.
I think we can get 10 or 11 wins out of that schedule
yeah
problem is the north is weak other than the packers and bears so it could take 11 to win the wildcard
it always is though
if we’re 5-1 going into the bye I like our chances.
the schedule is set up for that to happen again
we just need to beat the teams we’re supposed to beat. I’m kinda pissed we get Philly and GB on short weeks this year.

When somebody was cursing the Jets for reportedly being the frontrunner, I said “as long as it’s not the Iggles”.
I am still trying to figure out how they sign so many top FA’s. We can’t afford Cofield but they can add a top DE and now the top CB? We need their capologist in our front office.

We’re all so focused on the draft, trades and free agency that we’re seeing with tunnel vision. We’re too focused the ideas of money, stats, and numbers. There are other factors that make the Giants the team to beat.
Our Giants have shown a team first mentality throughout this off season. While the rest of the league is worrying about single player contracts, our players are restructuring theirs for the good of the team.
Our core group of players have played together for 4 years and they know the system. With a limited training camp, the players that have played together are the ones that will be victorious.

This isn't good news at all.
Such a player, if not signed by us, will be a thorn in our side, when signed by a rival. And true, a lot of teams are worried about single player contracts, but a series of single player contracts adds up to a team.
The games still have to be played. And while you can spin it any way you’d like – this signing is not a good development for our team. I’d much rather have him playing for us than playing against us.

Falling Behind
The thing that strikes me is that as the Eagles are getting better we are getting worse. Eagles picked up 2 All Pro CBs and an All Pro DL. We cut 3 OL (2 starters), haven’t re-signed Bradshaw, Boss or Smith. We’ve replaced 1 OL. Reese hasn’t even made time to speak with Osi. Seriously what is he so busy doing? Doesn’t take very much time to cut players and then sign no one. At best it looks like our team will have lost veterans and not replaced most of them. And we wasted draft picks too. How many WRs do we need in camp? Jernigan was a huge waste of a pick. At best he’s our 4th or 5th WR. So we’ll just cut another WR who would have been just fine riding the pine. Eagles are running a well organized plan and it looks like Reese is lost right now. We are just cutting players and then adding no one.
"Jernigan was a huge waste of a pick"
He was drafted….IN APRIL.
Also, how do you know Reese has no plan? What, you think he’s running around like a headless chicken scrambling for O line scraps??
There is no hope.... there is no future....there is only GRISSIONZ
The 2011 Mets- Rock bottom: We haven't reached it yet
Well back in April we already had Nicks, Manningham, Hixon, Barden, Cruz, an injured Steve Smith amongst others. If he had any plan of cutting 3 of our OL it would have made sense to draft more than one.

Short term hey they’ve gotta be the Favorites to win it all but long term they just tied up 10 pct of their total budget on a 30 year old CB who’ll probably be playing safety in 3 years.

After Vick's deal is done at 13 mill a year
That would leave the Eagles at 12 Mill under the cap. more than enough to sign Jackson to 4 year extension with 12 to 13 mill Guaranteed and 6-8 mill a year. After cutting 2 CB’s, a DE, and another player or 2 it will lower the cap number to about 8 mill. More than enough to sign a Tulloch or someone lesser at MLB before the season starts.
I would love to blow up Texas Stadium... With team still in it
Let me start this by asking you a few questions …
1. Why are you here ?
2. Why are you here ?
3. Why would Desean Jackson sign for less than Santonio Holmes got ?
4. Why are you here ?

To be honest,
I really don’t care. The Eagles CBs always played like Nnamdi Asomugha against the Giants, so actually having him there doesn’t really make me care any more.
The Eagles would have to do a whole lot more then sign one CB in order for me to actually fear them and think the Giants can’t beat them. For starters, they’d have to fire Andy Reid and hire a coach that actually realizes that 350lbs lineman across the line means you can beat every team by running the ball a lot

They were just waiting to get this done.
Now Jackson will get his contract.
Vick first.

They want to sign their franchise QB long term
it’ll be the more important piece, thanks for playing.

If they wanted to do that, they wouldn't have tagged him.
It will be Jackson. Two days is my guess.
Any reply to him should end in "123"
I always end up signing his screen name like that kids game “Red Light Green Light 123”
Thank you, you got it done. Follow me on twitter @it's about time you A-HOLES
Rorschach is probably right
They’ll have to extend Vick first. Once they extend Vick that will open up more cap space for Desean.
The good news for you guys is that this Desean thing could go on for awhile…
Oh and Maclin has mono… (not good for us at all)

You would thing that someone had pooped in your cherios
around here…What did you think, that the Beagles were not trying to get better? Would you really have it any other way? Think how sweet it will be when we throw up 30+ points against them after running the rock down their throats. Honestly, one man cannot cover 5 receivers. Someone is always open on every play, just need the QB to see it and execute. 16 games is along season and anything can happen. Its why we watch, its why we come here every day even when we have no time. It’s Football.
That is all.
When its 3rd and long, throw the ball past the marker.

The Eagles LBs and safeties still suck
I mean that team has LBaneezer problems, no Giant fan has the right to complain about LB problems with the trash they have there. They still don’t have a great pass rush outside of Cole (Babin is a one year wonder..plus he’s not a LDE)
It’ll be tough to beat them, but either team that wins those games have won a big time battle. The Eagles won 6 in a row sure, but those seemed to all be 50/50 contests, either team wins and the loser could make a good case of they should’ve won.
Asomugha was a great signing. They’re still too young of a team with entirely too much turnover to be a SB team. Next year? Maybe.

You act as if we’d won a game against them in….oh….say three years?
oh yea..wow, three years
what’s that done for your Eagles? Its like the Red Sox beating the Yankees 8 games in a row. Does it matter in the grand scheme? No. Not at all.

Whats that done for us. Oh yeah, put us on the couch for three years watching.
and what's that done for them?
right next to us on the couch watching for a whole hell of a lot longer then 3 years, and of course watching us win the bowl thrice.

We added a punter and swapped a center
Were better how?
hell yea they are.
and the Eagles have a bunch of rookies starting at S, LB and along the OL. But they got two name brands at CB, so they got better right?

It's tough
to argue with logic and the scoreboard. My point is, we will have to do MUCH more than signing back our own guys to get in the playoffs this year.
All they have to do is win more games
The roster Olympics doesn’t mean a thing. Zero. Last year Cowboys offense was going to be unstoppable.
Look. I get it. You're a fan. Me too.
But get a little real here. Nothing we’ve seen indicates our team is any better than last year. Theirs clearly is. End of story.
There's plenty of reasons the Giants are better
but obviously aside from beating the Eagles, and only the Eagles, nothing will lead to anything other then annoying responses from you so I don’t care about this anymore.

Getting rid of Dodge and signing Kiwanuka. That’s about it.
So getting younger

Just remember there are players whom we have drafted who still have to show what they got
BBV- Bring Back Van Pelt
Your eagles?
I was at MM2. Cracked two teeth when it happened grinding my jaw in fury while my eagle-loving fiancee tried not to heckle too bad. Give me a break. At least I can look at my own team’s moves with some clinical observation and not act like an ostrich with my head in the sand. The games still have to be played. Point is, we’re dealing with three years of being outplayed and outcoached by them. And I’m as frustrated as you. I just admit where we are right now. I’m not seeing anything other than signing our own guys back. And a piss poor linebacking corp that was once the envy of the league. Even decent with our D line would be ok.
If your going to live in the past I say go with 07
Remember past returns are no guarantee of future performance
No one's overlooking weaknesses
but someone is excessively complaining about them. You’re admitting where you think there are now. Many more feel the solutions are much simpler and not even close to being as drastic as you think. Yet, you ridicule for 3 measly years and seem to gloat about it like they are your Eagles.

Ridicule would be needlessly picking at
I don’t think I’m ridiculing here. The facts speak for themselves. Gloating would be rooting for. Does anything I’ve said sound remarkably HAPPY? I’ve got two cracked teeth I had to fix after being at the mm2 game. Anyone else here had to experience actually BEING present for that anguish? I’m a fan. That doesn’t qualify me as blind. Not that hard to see we’ve been outclassed on the field, out coached and out managed. You have your opinion, I have mine. Talk to me when we’ve done something in FA to improve the team besides signing the same guys that can’t seem to finish a season.
You do realize the LB core
was the envy of the league almost 20 years ago? And that we have since moved on to a compeltely different scheme of defense, that doesn’t rely on the LB core like it used to? Same as we used to have a 3 yards and a cloud of dust offense, and now we have a prolific QB and one of the deepest WR groups in the entire league? You complain about the recent past, but act like we should be going backwards 20 years to correct it.

The Giants have a weak LB core
There’s no reason we shouldn’t try to improve it
There is no hope.... there is no future....there is only GRISSIONZ
The 2011 Mets- Rock bottom: We haven't reached it yet
It's not the point of emphasis
the Dline is. So the dline will get the majority of the draft picks and money. If you want the majority of resources spent there, argue for a philosophical change. With limited money to spend, the point of non emphasis wll be addressed with less urgency.

Well, no
they did not ignore it. They signed Boley and spent a 2nd round on one. That is not ignoring it. The argument can be made on whether it was addressed successfully thus far, but they did not ignore teh LBzzz.

Exactly
1st round pick and 2 2nd round picks, and a big money FA on the Dline. 2nd round pick, 5th rounder, 3 6th rounders and a middle tier FA on the LB’s. Philosophical dispersal of resources the last few years.

At least they're blowing a ton of cap money on one position
and I think Vick takes a BIG step back toward his old self this year, too. No way he repeats last year’s laser light show.

I imagine the majority of defensive coordinators will have him figured out a little better this coming season, and we’ll see a better gameplan. Not all DC’s had their jobs last time he was in the NFL. Takes some time to figure a player like that out. So… I agree.
They had him figured out in Atlanta
when he wasn’t throwing to pro bowlers. That’s really our problem here.
Quite true
Problem is, there’s so much more for him to throw or check down to. I mean really, how do we cover those guys all game long? We haven’t played a complete game against them in three years.
complete season
It all comes down to Vick for them. I’m not a believer yet. He faded significantly last year over the course of the season, and not just from injuries… we had him running against his throwing arm, a scheme every other team also adopted because it worked. Vick is a veteran, so he is probably more reliable. but he is still at this point a question mark
As for NA, CBs don’t win games. Let’s see how these new players gel. Dallas and Washington prove you can’t just buy a team. This isn’t fanttasy football. It’s 40 percent chemistry.

A brash move by Reese might be
cut Boley. Or restructure him. We have an awful lot of young linebackers who can’t seem to get on the field. Restructure Canty. Definitely restructure Webster. What have these three done to earn those contracts other than our GM being foolish enough to offer them? Come on guys, THIS is one reason we have no CAP ROOM! Webster to earn 4 mil less than Nnamdi? Come on. He’s decent to good, but come on.
Let's make a splash for once
Sign: moss, plax. Drop Steve smith(he’s a stat stuffer)
Sign: ruud and Cody Then maybe we won’t get run over
Sign: Matt light. He’s used to “winning!” duhhh
Sign: Ricky Williams Let Bradshaw go, he’s good but we don’t win sb’s w/ small rb’s that fumble, plus Ricky has relatively low miles
Osi can kick rocks as far as I’m concerned, he has lost a step, and he is a potential cancer trade him for a CLUTCH TE, boss is not who we thought he was.

Monumental
Make no mistake: This is the equivalent to when the Raiders signed Mike Haynes and when the Niners and then Cowboys signed Deion Sanders.
And I still would have preferred the Giants cutting C. Webster and spending the extra 3.5-4 million to sign Asomugha.
Christ people..
it’s only one guy. Apparently some of you are forgetting that Hakeem Nicks is our #1 WR and how nasty he is. Or that Manningham is like a Plaxico-Lite with his size and ability to stretch the field. Then you throw in the underneath stuff to Boss, Smith when he comes back, maybe Plax, and AB and Philly is no worry for us. Nnamdi is amazing without a doubt. But he can’t help their front 7. Their DL is weak and their LB’s are awful. Then you throw in how bad their OL is and Vick is gonna be getting pressured all day. And we know how he crumbles under pressure. Add in the D-Jax drama and Philly isn’t some new age juggernaut.
