    I'm going to vomit if Dallas lands Nnamdi.

    I haven't read that Dallas is a major player. They're over the cap anyway so they'd have to do a lot of maneuvering to sign him and remain competitive.

    I thought Derrick Mason came out of retirement for one final year last year?

    He signed a multi year deal...?

    Looks like it was a 2 year deal --this being the final year. Was due 4.5 million. Ravens have slashed ~18.6 million with these soon-to-be releases.

    Wow, Derrick Mason was ancient and barely got talked out of retirement, and he signed a 2 year deal?

    The dude was still productive, but damn.

    I think if he wants to play, he'll end up starting somewhere.

    Anyone know where I can find a link to how team's salary cap situation and how much teams need to spend. I remember seeing a link I believe from espn but can't find it anymore.

    This is what I was referencing-

    http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/stor...s-nnamdi-asomugha-ray-edwards-santonio-holmes

    1. Nnamdi Asomugha -- Dallas Cowboys



    Asomugha will hit the free-agent market for the first time after Al Davis' sound strategy of "make sure to get it in writing that we can't use the franchise tag on our best player" shockingly backfired.



    Nnamdi Asomugha

    #21 CB
    Oakland Raiders

    2010 STATS
    Tot19
    Solo17
    Ast2
    FF0
    Sack0.0
    Int0

    Asomugha's value is hard to quantify in counting numbers, as he had no sacks, interceptions or fumble recoveries last year. The reason? Nobody throws at him. Per our charting project, despite starting 14 games for the Raiders last season, Asomugha was targeted on just 7.9 percent of opponent's passes. To put that into context, 2009 Defensive Player of the Year Charles Woodson has drawn a little more than 14 percent of his opponent's passes in each of his past three seasons. Terence Newman was terrible in Dallas last season and has always been a bit overrated, while Mike Jenkins regressed strongly from a promising second year. The Cowboys have the money and the need. If they can convince Asomugha that they can compete for a Super Bowl this year, he seems like an ideal fit in Dallas.
