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

According to Adam Schefter

Pro Bowl cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha's contract voided and he will be allowed to become a free agent without the Oakland Raider being able to use their franchise tag on him, according to an NFL Players Association document. Asomugha’s deal included a little-known clause that said his contract would void if he didn’t achieve his not-likely-to-be-earned incentives in 2010 -- and he didn'’t.

I wonder if his number is on Danny boys speed dial yet?

skinsfaninok · 01-09-2011, 01:17 PM

No doubt I would in a heartbeat, he's a team guy and a true shutdown corner, let Los walk and sign NA. We could play true man to man plus he's only 30, I see Dallas getting him though

MTK · 01-09-2011, 01:20 PM

His price is going to be sky high, great player though.

KLHJ2 · 01-09-2011, 01:24 PM

NA is the type of player that you sign if you are 2-3 pieces away from being a true contender. We just have too many holes to throw that much money at one position.

skinsfaninok · 01-09-2011, 01:25 PM

Yea he will want revis $

Paintrain · 01-09-2011, 01:41 PM

He's a luxury that we don't need.. We're gonna be plenty aggressive in FA but smart-aggressive I hope. If we re-sign Buchanon and continue to develop Barnes we'll be fine. We can even bring back skillet hands Rogers and we'll be ok.

Schneed10 · 01-09-2011, 02:39 PM

Until they come up with a CBA that has a salary cap in place, I say absolutely go for him. And buy up just about every high priced guy we possibly can.

Yankees/Red Sox/Phillies of the NFL.

THAT would make a nice Jersey........Skillet Hands

Schneed10 · 01-09-2011, 02:41 PM

Are you guys assuming there will be a salary cap, is that why you care about the price?

Because otherwise I have a hard time understanding why money would be an issue.

Alvin Walton · 01-09-2011, 02:48 PM

I could care less about the cost.
I'd say go after him if there is a good chance Rogers will be gone.

cdskins26 · 01-09-2011, 02:50 PM

by the time we are ready to compete he will be 33-34. Pass

tryfuhl · 01-09-2011, 02:51 PM

I don't know.. we play a lot of zone.. not sure that would be the best fit.

SFREDSKIN · 01-09-2011, 02:51 PM

Shutdown corner, I would be all over him like a cheap suit.

GTripp0012 · 01-09-2011, 02:51 PM

Remember: Shanahan thinks the world of Nnamdi Asomugha. Says he's the best corner he's ever seen.

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.
