NFL Network's Mike Lombardi reports that the Jets are prepared to pay free agent Nnamdi Asomugha $12 million a year.
The question is whether that will cut it for Asomugha, who at the start of free agency was rumored to be commanding upwards of $20 million per season. In the story linked below, SI's Peter King insists, "If you don't think Rex Ryan is pushing for this, you're crazy." The Jets, for now, look to be the front-runners for Asomugha. But the 49ers are pushing hard according to multiple reports, and the Texans look to still have some interest.


12 million what an insult

That's 10% of the damn salary cap, that has to be divided among 53 players.

Wooooooooo Sid! He'll be a monster when Andrew Luck joins the team.

Supposedly they told LT to take a paycut or take a hike.

Stevie Phantom (Steve Breaston) signed with the Chiefs . 4 or 5 years I think I read..

Session talking to the Jags.

from reading Robert Mathis' twitter page it's looking like Neither clint nor Dan Muir were going to be given offers to come back.

I can understand Muir but not Session.

I don't know how I'm going to get through this

The Cardinals have no interest in free agent Braylon Edwards, according to beat writer Kent Somers.
For now, the Cardinals seem just fine with losing Steve Breaston to the Chiefs. They've been talking up Andre Roberts and Early Doucet also has upside if he can stay on the field. Meanwhile, Edwards would love for the Redskins and Vikings to get into a bidding war for his services.

ESPN's John Clayton suggests free agent CB Johnathan Joseph will decide on a team Wednesday night.
Clayton teased a Joseph update on Twitter, only to follow up with no details on Sports Center. The Bengals, Lions, and possibly the Texans have been in on Joseph.

The Ft. Worth Star-Telegram confirms the Cowboys "like their corners" and will not get in the Nnamdi Asomugha derby.
Dallas' salary cap purge spurred speculation that a run at Asomugha was imminent, but they've turned their attention to safety instead. The Asomugha decision is expected to come down to the Jets, 49ers, and Texans


Knew the Skins were out when we signed Davis. Well Anderson and Delhome are available for QB pick ups.

 

[Hasselbeck]

Rumors the Seahawks are making a late push for Nnamdi .. That'd be pretty hot.

Contract talks between free agent RT Tyson Clabo and the Bills remain ongoing and appear to be serious.
If Clabo wants to play for a contender, he's only doing this for leverage. "It's a possibility. But nobody has agreed to terms or anything," he said. Especially on the offensive line, many pieces have yet to fall into place. Once Clabo or someone like Jermon Bushrod signs, the rest of the OLs will have a starting point.

The Redskins have not yet decided whether to use Barry Cofield at defensive end or nose tackle.
They'll sort it out on the training camp practice field. Cofield, who signed a six-year, $36 million blockbuster late Tuesday night, was a nose tackle in the Giants' 4-3. At 6'4/306 he's built more like a defensive end for Washington's 3-4 scheme, but it isn't like the Redskins have better options inside. We still have the expectation that Cofield will be a "0-technique" nose.

What the fuck!? Again another player that hasnt played in a 3-4 yet we sign him and expect him to play there.

Bengals sign Bruce Gradkowski to a 2 year deal. Love the move. He was with Gruden in Tampa so he knows the system. Great guy to back up Dalton.

Bruce Almighty is better than just a back up I expect him to start easily week 1 hes a hig character guy that plays great in tough situations his biggest flaw while in Oakland was just staying healthy, if he did he would probably still be our QB

Don't think thats happening...Marvin and Mike Brown have said Dalton is our guy unless he comes in and completely sucks in camp and stuff. I wouldn't be surprised to see Bruce start sometime during the year, but week 1 I doubt it.

 

[Rudi]

If we retain Joseph I will be so hyped! He's a beast...Clayton better not be fucking around

Ladainian Tomlinson

Bum needs a new nickname. I didn't even know he was still playing.
