That's one helluva trio of CB's there... wow.

The Eagles, moments ago, sent out a text message that will cause jaws to drop from sea to shining sea.

The Eagles have signed cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha.

Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, the deal is worth $60 million over five years, with $25 million guaranteed.

It’s not all that much richer of a deal than the one signed on the first day of free agency by cornerback Asante Samuel, who received a five-year, $57 million contract with $20 million guaranteed.

And it’s a far cry from the contract that defensive end Charles Johnson will sign with the Panthers: Six-year, $76 million, $32 million guaranteed.

As to Samuel, the move could mean that he’s available, given that the Eagles just acquired Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie on Thursday from the Cardinals. Or maybe DRC could be on the move again, after serving the purpose of providing Philly with cover as they fooled everyone by pursuing Nnamdi in complete secrecy.

Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer:

“The #Eagles plan is to carry all three CBs for the season unless they get a good trade offer,”

Translation: We would really love to hear your good trade offer. Please send them to us.

Greg Cosell of NFL Films in the Philly area points out that Asomugha and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie both play bump and run coverage. Samuel does not and may not fit what they want to do in 2011.

Samuel is due over $9 million in 2011, which could depress his trade market. He’s currently not in training camp because of an “excused absence.” It wouldn’t shock us if Samuel stays in Philly because he’s still very good and could be tough to deal.

Edit, someone on NFL Network just made a good point. The Eagles, if they keep all three will have something like $40 million of their $120 million cap invested into their secondary and theres a good chance DeSean Jackson will hold out if he's not extended.

jasonjwilde : But still a very good point. RT @AlbertBreer: Good point RT @tomwatsonpats: Need 3 #1 corners to beat Green Bay.

As Jason Wilde said too, not if the Packers don't have James Jones.

Even if they got 4 #1 CB's, if they don't got a pass rush on Aaron Rodgers ... he will keep lighting up the scoreboard.

Also I've read Clay's younger brother was running with their 1s

If their DTs aren't the best you might try running up the middle against them.

Zero2Cool (7h) : Tua’s old DC won a Super Bowl Year 1 with Tua’s former backup

Mucky Tundra (9h) : *winning MVP

Mucky Tundra (10h) : Funny observation I've heard: Carson Wentz was on the sideline for both Eagles Super Bowl wins w/guys supposed to be his back up winning

Zero2Cool (15h) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

Zero2Cool (15h) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022

packerfanoutwest (15h) : pro bowl

Zero2Cool (15h) : From 2010 to 2022, it was played on the Sunday before the Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (15h) : They moved it to the BYE week before Super Bowl several years ago.

packerfanoutwest (15h) : it was always after the SB.....

beast (10-Feb) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (10-Feb) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire

Martha Careful (10-Feb) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : this game is over

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : This might be the kill shot here

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh that's such a bad penalty for KC after getting the 3rd down stop

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Philly DL has come to play
