Well, there you have it, the Eagles have done it again like they did with Michael Vick by swooping in last second and signing Nnamdi Asomugha, the #1 free agent this offseason and the #1 CB in the league. Now the only question will be what will the Eagles do with THREE legitimate cornerbacks.
With his 5yr/$60mill contract, Nnamdi Asomugha is the highest-paid CB in the NFL
With Asante Samuels, Nnamdi Asomugha, and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie all on their roster, the Eagles will have to look to move one of them so that one isn't just rotting away on the bench. The smart move looks to be Samuels, with only one year remaining on his contract, he is very attractive to some teams looking to add a strong CB to their roster. Also, if the Eagles weren't serious about trading Kevin Kolb for DRC while still wanting to sign Asomugha and having them both play, they wouldn't have done both deals.
Asante Samuel could get moved with the Eagles housing three top-tier CBs
In the meantime, look for the Eagles to shop Samuels and get a nice piece in return for him.
But, while we have the three, I think it's time that all the Eagles fans just sit back and rejoice about how their pass defense will be unbreakable for years to come. You hear that? It sounds like the noise that the engraver makes, etching "Philadelphia Eagles- 2011-2012 NFL Champions" onto the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
