I don't really understand this move for any party. It will be fascinating if the Eagles hold onto Asante Samuel. But if they trade him as assumed, teams are just going to throw at DRC all day, every day, and Asomugha will never see the football.

Furthermore, this isn't a monster deal or anything, and I'm not sure how any team got priced out of the market for Asomugha per these contract terms.

Oakland loses, Dallas loses, the Jets lose, and Philadelphia...spends money on a good talent. Are they going to play zone or man? I don't really know.

Philly: a really impressive offseason and they have a really loaded roster at many positions, including CB. The Asomugha move is a boost to their secondary, but I don't think it is anything more than that.

For the Eagles? Last time it ended on the cusp of a Super Bowl win.

Did you really say cusp in a sports forum?

we are once again the doormat of our division. we had the most money to spend and did not bring a differance maker in on either side of the ball but phila. did and cowboys are in process of doing so and n.y. has better personnal than us,plus we have no right tackle,need linebackers for the middle (mac) is a FA ,no depth anywere and last but not least our QB situation is like scramble eggs ,we have a undrafted qb from ind.,a career back-up in clemons and our starter who has been in the league for four yrs. and on two or three differant teams and never has started what does that tell you?get ready for the lottery draft here we come. same old skins another dismal is on the horizon f*********n great

We have always tried to bring in "difference" makers and it never worked out. What we did this year was bring in several solid players that will be on the team for years. Orakpo, Kerringan, Hall and Landry are the playmakers on defense the Wilson, Bowen and Cofield signings gave us solid starters to make it easier to make plays. On offense we drafted receivers, signed receivers, drafted some running backs, signed a new replacement at RG who is solid and have Montgomery at center. We need depth not superstars right now and thats what we've been getting. Hopefully we can get Jamal Brown back and I think our O-line could be solid for a change.

Eagles O and D lines and linebackers very average at best. There FO has done a good job (like always), im not ready to hand them the division just yet. 0 superbowls

well, his agent might have overstepped or bluffed, and after two teams hung up, the eagles were left with less money on the table.

just a guess, but that's a great buy, and they might just flip DRC for a 3rd/4th and be better off for it. they can't really lose either way.

Bro, I know how it feels to feel like that, since we root for the same team obviously. It looks bad right now, that the rich are getting richer while it seems we're stuck in neutral. But in reality you just need to trust in the coaching staff. They know what they're doing, and the moves we're making right now aren't so that we can win now, they're so we can win in the long term.

Remember how it felt when this team was making big time moves in the offseason, but never the draft? Remember the excitement we all felt when we traded for and/or signed guys like McNabb, Haynesworth, Archuleta, Randle El, Brandon Lloyd, Jeff George, Primetime, Bruce Smith, Mark Carrier, etc.? At the time, we all thought we were getting players who would be playing at the pinnacle of their positions for a long time. Instead, we got players who never performed or lived up to any expectations.

Over a decade we proved that you can't win consistently by signing big name free agents to big money deals and expecting them to repeat their success here.

Yeah I know, Nnamdi is different. He's a humble yet talented leader who lets his play do all the talking, and I mean all the talking. He's so humble he's willing to take less money if it means he will get one step closer to winning a Super Bowl. The anti-Haynesworth, it seems. It doesn't matter. This team isn't one shutdown corner away from winning a Super Bowl, and it won't be for quite some time. We have too many holes to fill, and there's no way he'd ever give us the "contender discount."

The Eagles made the right move, and we made the right move as well. All I'm saying is don't think the season is over before it's ever begun. If all these no name guys like John Beck never got a chance to prove themselves, NFL history would be missing a lot of great names, like Kurt Warner, Rod Smith (who was Shanny's discovery), etc. Just give him a chance.
