Should the Packers sign Asomugha....

I think the question is how much better would our team be with him? We're already the #1 pass D in the league, according to Football Outsiders.

Maybe the answer sounds like with him the D might stay the #1 pass D and move closer #1 rush D? Regardless, him showing interest in playing for a winner like the Pack says alot.

Walden played pretty well against Chicago, and Zombo shows some promise, but we wouldn't turn away a DeMarcus Ware or a James Harrison if they wanted to come to GB, would we?

I'm not sure the upgrade would be similar. Tramon is one of the best corners in the league, and Shields is looking like a Pro Bowler already. Next year he should be even better. Probably significantly, since he's so inexperienced at CB.

I'm just not sure we'd really get our $10 million plus worth out of Nnamdi. We already have arguably the best group of corners in the league. Diminishing returns kicks in eventually.

I doubt we get him, but we could move Wood to safety, so there is room for Nnamdi. Nnamdi-Williams-Shields-Collins-Woodson would be sick.

Maybe it's just me...but cutting Chuck, even if he's playing on a half leg, could never be done. He's still too much of a playmaker, and IMO, will be til the day he retires.

EDIT: But as for Scrabble, go out and get him Teddy! STILL the most underrated CB in football. Asomugha>Revis.

But diminishing Woodson might kick in sooner. I think it all depends on the deal. If he's really excited to play in GB and TT can get it done with a big contract that doesn't break the bank they should do it. This kind of stuff is rare in GB - strike while the iron is hot!

Just think of the challenge. Dom and the Packers D have had to set a record for both the number and percentage of snaps in nickel this year. Next, year, the record for the dime falls.

[pbmax]

...and in the nickel D hasn't CW been kicking ass in a hybridized role while Shields and Williams play the corners?

Yes. He is essentially in the Troy Polamalu role.

[bobblehead]

How much money do we have tied up in our secondary right now? I find it far fetched we add more. Would be cool, sort of like the dream team, but if we are spending, I would rather get an OLB that can get to the QB....or resign Jenkins.

McGinn said Wood was still top 5 in CB money and Williams was 11th.

Really? Williams is 11th? Someone needs to remind me what his contract was, I thought we got him quite reasonably. I wonder how McGinn got his numbers?

The 10th place earner on last year's franchise/tender list (published Feb 2010, so previous year, 2009 season'ssalary) was Asomuga at $6,000,000.

Deal averaged 8.25/yr.

I think someone nailed a new nickname: Charles "Diminshing" Woodson.

Would he play safety?

if you are you speaking of asomugha i was just about to ask the same question.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I think he's asking if Wood would play safety. You don't move a legit shutdown corner to safety.
