Nnamdi Asomugha contract voided should Redskins go after him or do you think the price will be too high.

Will someone please shed some light on the current rules in place under the CBA which expires the end of March as it pertains to the 2011 FA class. It is my understanding that the existing rules under the expiring CBA governs the draft, but does the same hold true for FA's? In other words, will teams be able to actively pursue FA's without a new agreement?

Asomugha is a very good player that I'd love to see in B&G though he will command a high price. He'd be a fine addition if we only needed him to make us a contender. We have so many areas of need.

All I know for sure is what I have heard in that the LAST thing that will officially take place under the CBA is the NFL draft. After that, everything is dependent on a new CBA. I don't even think they can sign draft picks until a new agreement is in place.

And it makes no sense to sign a free agent when no one knows what it will look like.

Per: ESPN's Adam Scheftner, no new CBA no FA signings. Everything relevant to free agency is dependent on a new CBA getting done.

Thats all I keep hearing. If there is not a CBA done prior to the draft then free agency basically will be held off till after the draft and after the new CBA gets done. The draft should continue as planned though.

I remember a few yrs ago though people talking about what would happen with out a CBA and I thought at one point even the draft would be eliminated and players could sign with whatever team they wanted to. In other words to the highest bidder. Whatever happened to that train of thought?

NA was a great shutdown corner, but hasn't he been injured a fair bit the last two years, and haven't his numbers dropped off (a lot)? In fact, he's failure to achieve certain incentives was why he's a FA now, as I understand it. This, coupled with many other greater needs, would lead me to pass and focus on other areas. I'd rather find a stud FS, at least another LB, and guys on the line.

Sounds like the Raiders version of D-Hall.

I say do it.

Notice how so many great players just stop playing well in black and silver...coincidence?
