Report: Asomugha a long shot for Cowboys

[.infamous]

According to Fox Sports Southwest's Matt Mosley, it's a "long shot" that the Cowboys will end up signing free agent Nnamdi Asomugha.
Mosley got the info from a team insider as a response to the Cowboys' No. 2 ranking in the recent Asomugha sweepstakes from SI.com's Peter King. Dallas could use a lock-down corner, but they're expected to be up against the salary cap once the CBA is finalized. An Asomugha signing would necessitate cutting a handful of veterans while outbidding all other suitors.

I wonder what kind of money it's going to take to grab him?

 

[footballplaya52]

we need to pair him with asante.

 

[kam.]

I understand the want for him.

Its not a good investment for any team however.

Hes 30, and wanting a high contract.....

Anybody else see the redflags?

 

[Blake]

It's not like he plays runningback. He really doesn't take much of a beating. Look at Rinse Barber.

Woodson is 34, and is still playing at a high level as well.

I'd say Aso has a few more elite years left in him.

It's going to be interesting to see what eventually happens with Aso.

I agree with kam, it's a little bit of a turn off to me that he wants a very long contract and he's already 30. Yeah, he doesn't play RB, but he is going to have a 3-4 more years of elite ability and that will probably be it in my eyes.

Woodson didn't even start last year... he was nickel..

So you'd have your team in the hole for a 30 year old CB? Who played against most #2 WRs instead of #1's.
