I agree, except the Eagles don't make foolish trades. I can see the Eagles trading McNabb for Aso -- But I don't believe for a minute, the Eagles would throw Asante Samuel into the mix. Why? Asante is as good as Aso -- In fact, I think Asante is better. They both were drafted the same year -- Asante prefers playing zone and Aso seems to play man-to-man.

Actually, I would rather have a DB like Asante that averages 7-9 INT a year -- than have a DB, that supposedly QB's avoid throwing near.

When the Giants played Oakland in 2009, they used eight different WRs, and two RBs to beat Oakland 44-7. Honestly, Aso was a non-factor -- Eli did not avoid his side. In fact, Bradshaw and a couple of receivers blew right past him --

Aso could have had an off day. But, if you are the highest paid DB in the NFL, with an annual salary of $16 - $17 million -- you are expected to stop a receiver from catching or advancing the ball. Asante would have had at least one game changing INT ... in my opinion, Aso did not show any signs of being a shut-down corner -- However, I could be totally off base. Anyway, Andy Reid knows that Asante Samuel lately has our number. Why would Reid trade Asante and replace him with a DB the Giants ran all over? Reid is not crazy -- stupid at times? Yes, -- But he's not crazy... (lol j/k)

I don’t know, so I will ask: When was the last time Mike Florio came out with a good scoop?

The Oakland Raiders reached agreement with cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha on a $45.3 million, three-year contract that makes him the highest-paid defensive back in NFL history.

Sources said Asomugha is guaranteed $28.5 million in a complicated deal that features a provision in which the entire contract can be guaranteed if the Raiders decide to keep the 27-year-old for the third season.
