Should the Packers sign Asomugha....

[pbmax]

Ted Thompson doesn't like to sign expensive free agents. And by expensive, I'm talking ridiculously, shitballs-crazy, stupid money. Which is what this guy will command. I'd rather some other team, with a retarded fantasy football owner, spend the large dollars and poison their locker room. I'm looking at you, Dan Snyder, and you, Jerry Jones.

That's what some thought he did with Woodson for between 9-10 million per year in 2006. But I agree, its less likely with Woodson, Williams, Shields, Lee and Underwood that it was with Harris, Grabby Smurf, Patrick Dendy, Fontenot, Marviel Underwood, Joey Thomas, Mike Hawkins, etc.

But, mostly it depends on what they expect from Woodson. He has said previously he does not want to move to safety. But he has clearly been suffering in coverage this year, from lack of practice time, if not something more serious. But given the nickel back is still Underwood or Lee without Woodson, I am not sure they will spend that kind of money on a CB, though it is one of the positions Wolf argued you have to acquire by any means necessary.

our guys are very good and getting better every game...so no.

If this was my franchise on Madden 11 then yes

I would then move Woodson to FS, Collins to SS, and have Asomugha and Williams as my starting CBs with Shields at nickel.

Seriously though if he wants to come to the Pack there is no reason we shouldnt sign him unless it is a back breaking contract or he is a terrible guy in the locker room.

When I opened this thread I was thinkin "no freakin way", but wait... you're saying there's a chance? this whole woodson / play for a winner thing might get us a discount? I thought this was just some far-fetched thing a couple people were rosterbating over. Maybe not?

As long as Shields is still on the field and Williams stays a Packer then it could be unbelievable. I can hardly imagine that.

Darren Perry coached him prior to coming to GB. between Perry and Woodson that should give us the leg up if we decide to go after him.

Perry came to Green Bay from Oakland, where he coached the Raiders’ defensive backs for two seasons (2007-08). Cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha earned his second Pro Bowl selection and All-Pro honors from The Associated Press under Perry’s tutelage, as the Raiders ranked in the top 10 each of those years in passing yards allowed. In 2008, Oakland allowed opponents to complete only 56.5 percent of their passes, tied for fourth best in the league.

The plot thickens...

I remember listening to an interview with the guy now.....sounded very level headed. The car thing jogged my memory....Isn't he the one that drives like a 10 year old Nissan or something? If he wants to win and play with his friend for a year or two that would be fantastic.

[gbgary]

what? this isn't just some hypothetical? really? hmmm.

So you're saying there's a chance!

Yup, that's him. He said the car was needed to get him places, and the old one did that very well. Therefore, no reason to waste money on a new one.

As I recall, he is a very religious guy, and takes his obligations to help others very seriously. Not just with words and some actions, but major contributions from his own wealth. They said he does a lot with no publicity at all, just does it because he feels it is his duty from the gifts he has been given.

But, mostly it depends on what they expect from Woodson. He has said previously he does not want to move to safety.

If Woodson and Asomugha are good friends as some articles have said, I wonder if Woodson would look more favorably on a move to safety now, being that he is older and it might open a spot for his friend?

[Fritz]

Woodson would be the key to the whole thing. He would have to be willing to move to safety - and I thought I'd read he's not ready to do that at all.

And if Asomugha wants to come to GB to play with his friend Chuck, then cutting Chuck to make room for Asomugha wouldn't work out either...

This thread is perfect. There is no way Bretsky is going to believe Nnamdi is coming to the Packers while Thompson is GM. That will piss him off something fierce and give him the vitriol needed for the Saturday Night Jinx. Good work fellas, keep it up.

rosterbating - that needs to go on the Sports equivalent of the Urban Dictionary.
