On Texans board, people are talking about 4 year, $16M per deal for him. I doubt we can match that contract. Oh, well, just of these wet dreams.
I can't see there being enough money for this to happen. If it does yay, if not I didn't expect it anyhow. I will say this dude is fucking nuts if he stays with that crapfest for any amount of money.
I understand the Aso spooge fest in here because he's an elite player, but I'm surprised that there isn't much talk of Joseph, at least that I've seen. You'd figure he'd be a nice fit and while not as good as NA, he'd also be much cheaper. Personally, I hope the Jets land Aso because that will be interesting to watch on a weekly basis.
If you don't think Nmandi is going to get every last dollar, then I'm not sure what you are thinking. The Jets' cap right now won't support the type of deal he's going to command. He's going to be worth at least $13-$15 million or more per year.
"Why isn't my bag of 20s a bag of 50s!?" According to Sage Steele ESPN, Cro is looking for $8 million, found at 1:24 of this video: http://espn.go.com/new-york/nfl/sto...onio-holmes-talks-nnamdi-asomugha-sources-say It'll be interesting to see how close Asomugha is willing to come to that number.
I don't know how to say this without it sounding like I think signing Aso is a bad idea, because I don't think it is... but what money are we spending to stop the run/pressure the QB? What money are we spending to cover tight ends in the middle of the field? You know, two of the biggest things that have kept us from the Superbowl the past two years. Revis and Aso would certainly make covering the middle of the field easier and give the front 7 time to get to the QB, but I would be far from heartbroken if we don't end up with Aso. Especially if we can keep any combo of Eric Smith, Braylon Edwards or Brodney Pool because of it.
- Just drafted 2 D-Lineman to help with stopping the run & the pass rush (K. Ellis, Wilkerson) - with Revis & Aso potentially shutting down the outside, you can flood the middle with your safeties and other CBs (much like they did to shut down the Patriots in the playoffs) to defend the inside receivers and TEs
He might be a better alternative. It's an interesting discussion considering cost and the Jets cap situation. Just surprised I haven't seen it mentioned. Revis and Aso would be ridiculously fun to watch, though.
Understood and understood, but: -I'm not ready to say we can stop the run now because we drafted two guys that play a position in which they can be a factor in stopping the run. -If you blow your wad on Aso and Holmes you're going to be missing some of those guys that you can flood the middle with and potentially a Bryan Thomas (although Westermann is waiting in the wings). Again, I didn't know how to say that without sounding like I DON'T want Aso, I'm just saying, it's far from the worst thing if we don't get him.
I see rex using aso to cover tight ends in passing downs if thy hv a dominant giy like hernandez Or clark
I feel stupid for even entertaining the thought of Aso coming here. I mean, I'd LOVE that to happen, but how the fuck could it? We have so many FAs to retain, let alone landing the top defensive FA out there. IF it were to happen, methinks it'd have to be a one year deal, a shot at the SB. How could any team pay both Revis and Aso long term?
Why would a 30 year old player with a shot to make upwards of $15 mil a year for 4 or more sign a one year contract? That would just be fiscally irresponsible.
9 in the box my friend. The football field is basically reduced to the insides of the hashes. Shit with that kinda coverage, i'd have Conner knocking the shit out of o-linemen to open holes for Harris and the human concussion E Smith
You think he'll suck next year and drain his value? Or that being 31 will scare teams off from giving him a deal that they would have at 30? Like I said, I don't think it will happen. That's just the only realistic way the NYJ could get him and retain key FAs of their own.
That would change things, but it hasn't stopped guys from chasing a ring before. Again, this is why I'd eat a bowl of paper clips if he signed with the Jets. He ain't signing a multi-year deal with us.
