Rumor: Jets getting Asomugha | Glazer: Nnamdi signs with Eagles

We also have a rare Tornado warning at the same time here in NY/NJ/PA. We get watches, but apparently it's touched down....Rex must have blown a gasket, it's his fault.

Really though, it's probably better for the Jets. They'll have more money to fill actual needs, which CB isn't. So I'm not too excited about it.... just feel like "ah, whatever."

eagles are stackedddd

Its the freakin eagles !!!

**BREAKING NFL NEWS**Source: NY JETS have come to an agreement in "principle" with Nnamdi Asomugha (He left big money on the table)

ireland gotta step up now

Scott Hanson (NFLN) just reported that the jests are out of the Nmandi sweepstakes...just watching NFLN while typing this out and Asomugha just signed with the Eagles....(6:18pm)

Looks like incarcerated bob is wrong again !!!

So Philly got a pro bowl corner yesterday, now they get the best corner in the game today.

Eh, they're still Philly, they'll blow it somehow.

Incarcerated Bob is hilarious on the radio here in NY, but is usually 50/50 on his sources.

That's what they said about the Red Sox, too.

Good moves by Philly. I wish we came close to making those.

That's an interesting secondary with Rodgers-Cromartie, Samuel and Asomugha.

Well big picture we still play him once this season, glad he did not make it to the Jets though, who I'd guess are left with Cromartie

Asante Samuel might get cut now.

And to think they also had Pro Bowler Joseph just one day ago.

Wouldn't it be funny if the Jets got into a bidding war with Dallas now over Cromartie? And Cromartie felt spurned?

I gotta say, I am very relieved about this development. Revis + Nnamdi woulda been SICK (pun intended)!

Vincent/Taylor vs Asomugha/Rodgers-Cromartie (assuming Samuel is out)?

That's interesting...well, even if that is not the case, as Wanny would say, you can never have too many CBs!

Whatever. we got Matt Moore. eagles should be jealous of US

Eagles agreed to terms with CB Nnamdi Asomugha on a five-year, $60 million contract. The deal includes $25 million guaranteed.

The Eagles were lying in the weeds the whole time. The Jets are expected to turn their sights back to Antonio Cromartie, and the Cowboys will apparently keep overpriced, aging Terence Newman. The contract is more manageable than anyone could've anticipated to land this year's top free agent prize, so give Andy Reid and GM Howie Roseman a ton of credit. Philadelphia will now field arguably the best top-three cornerback depth chart in football along with Asante Samuel and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. They already signed Jason Babin to upgrade the pass rush.

This is INSANE.

and why can't a franchise in a warm climate, in a great place in which to be rich, with favorable tax laws and a storied franchise...pull crap like this off?

this deal is not that big as we all thought i would think

That's actually a pretty reasonable deal. I'd have matched that.

on a spree the eagles are...

Eagles agreed to terms with WR/KR Johnnie Lee Higgins on a one-year contract.

Once an explosive returner, Higgins has averaged just 7.2 and 5.2 yards on 51 punts over the past two seasons. This signing has the look of insurance against a protracted DeSean Jackson holdout.

i think that guy scored on us with some kind of return some years ago

Because we don't want to. I've finally figured this out. Ireland is content to use his ability to scout niche places and players (Davone Bess, Cam Wake), supplement them with "his guys" (Dallas-Miami pipeline), and field a nice little team. He doesn't want to make big splashes because he thinks he can scout guys who are nearly as good and cost 1/4th the amount.

I'm sure he looks at South Beach as a detriment, not an asset, to free agent recruiting. We've certainly avoided the kind of players who might want to spend time at South Beach, Kyle Orton aside.

I agree with you...except for the fact that we're not looked at as a contender. Everyone in the NFL knows that as long as Chad Henne is our QB, this team is nowhere near a Super Bowl!

he would have been a luxury though
