Official Free Agency Discussion

[Xiomera]

The counterpart to the Draft discussion thread. Let's try and separate the two.

Can one of the Mods sticky this please?

I'll begin by throwing this out there:

Nnamdi Asomugha is a free agent now. Do we break the bank for him?

For a guy that can shut down half the field? I say yes. Draft a DE and MLB and LT and we should be a very solid team.

I knew someone was going to bring him up. I'm down for it... but I don't see it happening. It'd be great.... but yeah.

[Xiomera]

Which OLB do you guys like?

Chad Greenway is a pipe dream, I suppose.

MLB Stephen Tulloch looks like he is going to hit the market.

Cardinals haven't shown interest in re-signing WR Steve Breaston

[SINCE1978]

I say no to Nnamdi Asomugha. Just a gut feeling ...

CB Scenario: retain Houston / A. Smith (Jimmy Smith pick #45, Chykie Brown pick #77)

LB I like (a healthy) Paul Posluszny (who should of been ours with the Stanton debacle pick, but I'm not bitter @ MM or anything) :o)

LB Scenario: (All Big 10 starters) Carpertner / Posluszny / Levy (Von Miller pick #13, Casey Matthews pick #109)

Buffalo will probably lock up PP but it's a cool thought.

Not only yes but hell yes.

Revis's contract was 4 years 32 million guaranteed, 46 million overall.

[Prowler]

we probably 'saved' that much money by winning the final 4 games and not having to draft that high again.

cutting Peterson's 8M helped too!

[Prowler]

the killer is doing a great job right now. he's building a bridge out of nothing that links us with nnamdi. nnamdi is probably sitting at home, reading espn insider and now he can think about the lions dline. all because of killer.

Er.. I'm sure about 100% of NFL teams will go after Nnamdi. Tom Kowalski still sucks.

Not sure how you could say no to going after 1 of the 2 true shutdown corners in the NFL. He is such a valuable commodity to a defense. The Raiders are insane for voiding this guys contract. And there is no guarantee Houston resigns with us.


<0% chance of happening but imagine if the Lions somehow landed Nnamdi. Traded up and drafted Patrick Peterson. Sign Tulloch, draft a mid round LB like Casey Matthews.... Ok, dream is over now.
