Pay Nnamdi, Rick!

no love for the Mongo….

They absolutely HAVE to make this deal. The Texans have the biggest need at corner in the NFL, and they’ll not get a shot like this again for at least a few years.

So under the American Finders-Keepers Laws, he must be a Colt. Sorry, but those laws are very stringent.

We HAVE to make a run at him! Talk about instant credibility to a terrible secondary… that would be a HUGE acquisition.

When can we start pursuing him?

But yes. Let’s make a run at him. We are in an uncapped year and Bob McNair has oodles and oodles^23 of money.

Let’s do it.

or do they have to wait for some undisclosed time in the future for the new CBA FA to begin?

Please do this. I’ll buy Nnamdi merchandise….a lot of it. That’s more money in your pocket! This is a move that could turn things around quickly!

picking the guys….

I hope Wade gets to pick them and makes the right choice here.

Oh, sorry. Can you hear that?

and I won’t be angry. He is going to probably get stupid money from someone. This seems to be a deep CB FA period though, so I think we will sign somebody good to man CB.

We have to pursue him! He is a shutdown corner. When do they ever come on the market! Never! Pshhh..Mario really doesn’t have an impact ALL game does he? Well nnamdi does. Shuts down half the field. Our secondary would immediately go from horrible to above average. Pay him Rick. Dunta would never see the money that we should thrownat nnamdi.

because their ownership and front office is a fucking joke.

This organization has no real interest in impact free agents… They’ll play with who they got.

and have a huge contract in hand

It’s pretty much going to happen.

This Free Agency period is rife with great defensive backs. If every team with a major need at corner is after Asomugha, it will give us a better chance at landing another really good corner that’s going to come available, like Champ Bailey, Jonathan Joseph, Richard Marshall, Carlos Rogers, Ronde Barber, Antonio Cromartie, or even Ike Taylor. All of those guys are immediate upgrades to the secondary and are, sadly, much more realistic options for Texans fans to look forward to.

So don’t shit your pants when we don’t sign Asomugha, there are a TON of great corners available this year and I imagine we’ll sign one.

as much as I want and dream for us to sign Scrabble, I just don’t see it happening. Our FO will say the same crap about obtaining high priced free agents as they always do.

There is always a glimmer of hope that Rick/Bob/Gary will do whatever it takes to get him here or I just have false sense of hope.

Signing Asomugha would be something I’d try to do in Madden just because he’d instantly improve my team. If the Texans have a chance to do it in real life…they should!

If there’s a definition of an instant fix for the Texans defensive woes, Nnamdi Asomugha would be it – why should Smithiak concern themselves with building through the draft when they should be imploring Bob McNair to sign him.

That being said, I’m sure they’re trot out the old MO of “we need to be fiscally prudent” or something along those lines. I’d absolutely love to see Scrabble be signed…but it likely won’t happen.

MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!!!!!

if Patrick Peterson falls to us in the draft, would u grab him or still wanna trade down?

annoncer will have his hand full when he says their name.

Guys, Nnamdi is 30 years old. And he’ll likely require a 5 year deal worth upwards of $50mil.

Now, just sit back for a few minutes, take some deep breaths and think. It’s true we didn’t have a cap in 2010, but there was a cap before and there will surely be a cap with the new CBA. That means we CAN’T spend unlimited amounts of money. We have a budget and we have to spend it wisely – to acquire all the players we need.

Does anyone here think that by acquiring only Nnamdi our defense would be fixed? Of course not. And what happens if we signed him and he breaks his ankle this spring? We’d have bupkis that’s what.

Nnamdi has no ties to Texas, he has no ties to any of our coaches and let’s face it, he’s not going to come here with the idea we’re on the verge of winning a championship. So the ONLY reason he’d come here is for the money.

We have a lot of guys we need to sign. OD, Leach and others. And frankly if we’re going to spend $50 or so mil I’d rather sign 3 or 4 good players than one “best in the league” corner. If we do that and one guy breaks his ankle this spring we’ve still improved the team.

If Nnamdi could make a team a Super Bowl winner…well maybe we should all look at the Raiders’ record over the last few years.

One CB isn’t enough.
