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

I don't know if there will be room for Asomugha and Rogers both under the salary cap, because I don't know the exact cap ramifications of not picking up Hall's contract option. Or if there will be a salary cap.

I would sign Asomugha before Rogers, him and Bailey are the best corners out there. A class act out of Cal, Lorenzo should convince him to come to Washington.

It seems reasonable to assume that there would be some salary parameter in a new CBA which would function as a salary cap.

NA is going to be a very rich man.

Well, I don't think we're a contender in 2011 with or without Asomugha. But he's not the quality of player that a team can decide to add later when it's more ready to compete. And if this team isn't planning on being a division champion in 2012, not only should they not go after Asomugha, but they should fire Shanahan immediately. There are far better coaches out there to rebuild under. Shanahan needs to put the team in the playoffs.

In short, if Nnamdi is not a Redskin next year, it's because he did not want to come here. Not because of lack of interest on part of the Redskins.

I ditto that. You need to spread the wealth around to be able to plug as many gaps this offseason as possible, then you have maybe more cap space in 2012 and maybe fix the leaky hull of the SS Redskins.

You would probably know better than I, but I heard the only player with guaranteed money next season is Trent Williams. Would that factor in getting under the salary cap or would the presumed salary of every player still count against the salary cap?

He shuts down his side of the field, that makes it easier to play D. I say grab him and throw rocks at Rogers....

[bigdaddy2348]

I feel the price for him is going to be too high. Plus we need to continue to build with younger pieces not middle age FA's. He alone isn't to make the defense that much better. I would love to have him but the time isn't right for a player like him.

[Dirtbag59]

He'd be a perfect fit in Houston.

[DiehardSkiNfan]

ahh please Dan Snyder, Shanny, Bruce, GET THis CB FAST and get NA and VJ!! Cmon Skin's pleasee get us excited for a new season.. i'm so sad about this season and it's just ended :/ ahh.. Cmon Skins get these guys, loll please!!!! GO GET EM!

[SirClintonPortis]

Rogers is just as old as he is but worse.

[tygarcia]

I say we get him and we can use more man to man coverage. Enough of this zone crap that leaves the middle of the field open all the time. Forget Rogers and have Barnes as our nickel corner. That would be the best secondary in the league. CB-Hall and Asomugha Safties-Landry and Moore. Probaly need to get a outside LB and a DE.

[skinsfaninok]

32 teams could use NA

[skinsfan69]

Asomugha probably wants to play for a team that's going to be a contender. Not the case here. Why would he come to the Raiders east? I bet the guy just wants to go somewhere where there is NO DRAMA. Baltimore would be the perfect fit. Solid organization/coaching staff and they need corner help.

Probably another conversation for another thread but IMO he's not the guy for the job cause the team needs an overhaul.
