Much better signing then Vince Young (if they really got him, I have no idea why they even want him).

Still a few more missing pieces to add, but for a team that holds ZERO value in the linebacker position, i'd say they are on the right path.

And as little as two days ago, i was having nightmares of Hakeem Nick's spiking the ball after a touchdown. Thank God i dont have to worry about that anymore!

I give the birds alot of credit, I didn't think that they were even on the radar and then out of nowhere they just swoop in and get him. Didn't they get Samuel the same way?

Not sure of the exact intricacies, but both moves shocked the $hit out of me. Something tells me that these guys aren't done wheelin n dealin!

I thought for sure Namndi wanted the NY press for his acting career.

I guess he just used them to drive the price up.

Idk bc if tht were the reason, he would've gotten a ton more per year. Early reports after the lockout lift had him getting 17-18 mil per yr. That is when i threw in the towel to those sweepstakes, knowing damn well Andy and Co. werent forking tht kind of loot over.

If i werent mistaken, Asante signed a 5 yr 57 mil deal. That was three years ago however. Shocked that Namndi took it, i guess i was the 25 mil gauranteed was the deal breaker perhaps.

Maybe he really DOES wanna play for a winner

Doesn't matter to me. He would've been a luxury signing and hopefully eventually Tannenbaum realized that and said "blow me". I'd much rather have Braylon and Cromartie back than Nnamdi. We had the top defense in the NFL with Lito f'ing Sheppard playing across from Revis. The defense will be OK. It's the offense that has to make strides.

I think trying that much up on two CB's is ridiculous. Not to mention that the defense was pretty damn good last year without him.
Joey my question is, did they lose Brad Smith because they were trying to sign Nnamdi and didn't have the space for both of them? I think he's a big loss for them.

You put your order in for that Burress replica jersey yet, Joey?

I remember Burress making a nice catch over the middle his rookie year. He was untouched - instead of running - he hops up - spikes the ball - and the defense is waiting for the ball to come back down to secure a fumble recover while the dumbass is showboating.

No matter how stupid he may look for shooting himself in the foot with a loaded gun and going to jail for a couple years while nearing the end of his prime ... that play in Pittsburg was his peak showing of dumbfucl<ery for me.

It's in the water.
