One of my favorite players.

Who has the most cap room in the off-season? Gonna take some dough to get one of the best corners in the game.

There's no cap right now I don't think.

The Raiders are :crazy:

. Every team would absolutely love to have him.

I would LOVE him opposite of Revis, but that will never happen.

Are the Raiders still able to offer him a contract though? I could still see Al Davis throwing ridiculous amount of money + ridiculous amount of years to him even though his contract was voided.

There was a clause in his contract that would make him a free agent if he didn't meet his incentives this year, which he didn't. Blame the Raiders for structuring the contract like that if you want, but it's not like they had a choice not to void his contract.

My point exactly.

It's a damn shame the Falcons are stuck with Robinson. I was not a fan of that signing from the beginning, but he has been worse than I could have imagined. Asomugha/Grimes would be awesome.

Hope he stays in the Bay Area and trots over to the Red & Gold

He's great person to have on any team and makes a positive impact on the community. Oakland is truly going to miss Nnamdi!!! He works with NBC Bay area news in sports segment with Raaj Mathai...going to miss him on that show!

oh man I couldn't believe my EYES when i saw he is a free agent on the espn ticker. I was thinking to myself NO EFFING WAY! my fantasy all throughout the season was man, I wish the Texans can magically trade for Nnamdi Asomugha. I know it's still a long shot but he is now a FREE AGENT. MAKE IT HAPPEN PLEASE!!!

This guy is going to get PAID.

Al Davis you are pure comedy.

True Raiders fans need to plot to pull the plug on Al Davis' corpse before the start of the offseason.

A while ago it was reported that his top 2 teams were Green Bay and the New York Jets.

Tampering?

I've poked around a little and I know the following teams will chase him:
Houston--not shy about their desire to get a veteran CB presence to help the youngsters
Dallas--and don't ignore the fact that Rob Ryan was his DC in OAK and molded him into what he is
Seattle

There will certainly be others but I know those teams will make offers.

I suspect the Packers will give a look but he's going to want more $$ than they will be able to afford after taking care of all the hands that will be out after the deep playoff run. I don't see how the Jets could justify going after him with Revis, Cromartie, and Kyle Wilson (even though he stunk as a rookie) already earning significant $$.

I still think he'll wind up back in Oakland, just a guess. Maybe Dallas.

He can still resign with Oakland right? They have a TON of FA though, so maybe they wont be able to keep him. I'd love cleveland to get him by some absolute miracle. He is going to get PAID.

Tampering? He's a FA.

Packers can't afford him? lolwhat? Packers are in a great spot financially, mainly due to Ted Thompson NOT wasting stupid money on free agents. Other than guys that end up being DPOY, then he will pay them.
