Furthermore, this isn't a monster deal or anything, and I'm not sure how any team got priced out of the market for Asomugha per these contract terms.

Oakland loses, Dallas loses, the Jets lose, and Philadelphia...spends money on a good talent. Are they going to play zone or man? I don't really know.

Philly: a really impressive offseason and they have a really loaded roster at many positions, including CB. The Asomugha move is a boost to their secondary, but I don't think it is anything more than that.

I mostly agree, although we have to take whatever they get in a Samuel trade into account.

It seems to me, though, that Babin might be the bigger signing. In Nnamdi they replaced a Pro Bowler with a better Pro Bowler; with Babin they filled a big hole.
