Philadelphia Eagles Sign Nnamdi Asomugha

im just a tad bit upset that it only took 12 mil a year, and we didnt pull the trigger on that. especially since we HAVE to spend a definite amount, i just think that an elite talent like him, who rarely comes around, is worth 12 mil a year. we have the room, very disturbing, very confusing.

maybe he walked away from 2 or 3 mil per year on the table, but who in the hell could do that? lol

He wanted to play for a contender. We aren't a contender. You act like the FA doesn't have a choice in where he goes and that we could have had him for 12 mil/per year.

Yeah, he gave the Eagles the "contender discount." You have to be a contender to get the discount though.

Im guessing that someone who just left the most disfunctional organization in the nfl wouldn't want to go the second most disfunctional organization even if for a couple bucks more.... Honestly though when a player signs for less money then he could have gotten elsewhere like houston or maybe dc its usually the type of player you really want but can only get if your team is in contention. It would be nice to have him, but he would only sign with us if it was just about the money to him. Fortunately we can play a role in making sure he retires as a great cb that never got a ring!
