CB Nnamdi Asomugha

First...Sorry if posted.

The Raiders have reportedly informed teams that every player on their roster is available.

The Raiders tried the same tactic at this time last year, but were unable to consumate a trade. CB Nnamdi Asomugha is the Raiders' most talented player, but his massive contract will make him hard to move. RB Michael Bush, who is a free agent at the end of the season and will make only $550,000 in 2010, is a prime trade candidate. ESPN's Adam Schefter mentioned lesser lights such as CB Chris Johnson and LB Thomas Howard as the most likely to be dealt.

If this is true, we should make an attempt to get CB Nnamdi Asomugha.

If not him, is there anyone on that team we should look at before the trade deadline?

I got to admit I saw this and thought " Bring scrabble home TD"

But that is ALOT..... I mean A LOT of money to put into one postion.

Just like it is not overly wise to put that much into wr's its not good to put THAT kind of money at corner.

Not to mention the raiders arent going to give him away it is going to take most likely atleast 2 1st's plus some.

He would be an awesome addition but I thik to give up what would be needed in terms of picks, and the massivness of that contract im affraid it would be too much for us.

I would say D-Rob and Scrabble not only would be a great tandem but is an awesome name for a band :)

Going after a CB that gets paid 15 million a year is not going to happen.

A couple of players i like that could help us.

1. WR Louis Murphy: The guy is going to be a good WR in the NFL...

2. DE Trevor Scott: This dude can be a great pass rusher with the right team.

Yes, absolutely. His salary is only $1 million per game. Let me check my pocket.....yes, i have it covered. Somebody tell TD to pull the trigger.

I will do my part.

I have 5 dollars and 42 cents. I do how ever have in my possesion several bags of flaming hot cheetos, which I would part with if it was a deal breaker.

:lol: @ scrabble. I don't care what his salary requirements but that 2 1st may be real difficult to handle. No 1st round picks for 2 years? That's really going to hurt future player development and potential big time rookie talent.

LOL i cant believe This is even a topic of discussion. Nnamdi is a great player but no way we could afford to make that deal happen. Their other Corner is also really good but our secondary is fine. We could use another quick LB or to better the Oline but i dont see anyone from their team that Mr. Blank will hand money to.

Louis Murphy, Thomas Howard, Zach Miller. I don't think it would be a bad idea for TD to at least put in a call to see what they would want for these guys. Not sure why Oakland is doing this though, the team isn't as bad as it was in years past.

Yeah, they have some talented starters. I hope TD at least gives them a call to see who is available and for what price. There are a few positions we could stand to upgrade at this point in the season, now that we've had six games to evaluate what we have.

That is just me guessing ofcourse.

It is the raiders so who knows, I mean they traded moss away for a 4th.

But I have a feeling they would want a kings ransom in exchange for him.

There are a few guys I would not mind though Gallery would not be bad as a guard, Zach Miller as the heir to Tony G would be awesome.

The Raider cleared up their position. They say Nnamdi, nor McFadden or Bush, nor Seymour, nor McClain is available for trade. They rest can be discussed.

I'd guess Zack Miller is part of the "no trade" group as well.

And even if everybody else is available in a trade, this isn't a "everything must go at low low prices" type of yard sale.

Nnamdi would be a great addition to the Falcons....

if you are playing Madden 2010.

The only player I would want would be Zach Miller, Louis Murphy drops more balls than Heyward-Bay and that's saying something.

Darren McFadden? Jerious Norwood part 2

You're right, Louis Murphy does drop balls, but so far he's far exceeded the production of his higher drafted teammate. Louis Murphy has 53 receptions, 829 yards, and 15.6 YPC since he was drafted. Heyward Bey has 23 catches, 285 yards, for 12.4 YPC. Heyward Bey has played in 17 games, Murphy 25. In all fairness, they both have dealt with inconsistency at the QB position since they were drafted. When I look at Murphy though, the talent is there. He may drop some balls but I definitely wouldn't mind him here.

if we got someone from OAK I would take McFadden....but not sure with his contract.

He and Turner would be nice. I know we have Snelling, but I think it will be tough to keep him after this season.

Still would like Thomas Howard to replace Petey too. Spoon, Lofton and Howard. sick.

ASO is the last guy we need to bring in. Grimes is very good, and Dunta get Aso money already.
