According to Vinnie Iyer of SportingNews free-agent corner Nnamdi Asomugha is primarily being pursued by four teams: Green Bay Packers, Philadelphia Eagles, Houston Texans and the Detroit Lions.
Asomugha would be a huge addition to any of these teams, so obviously all four are going to try to make a very strong push for the all-pro corner, but what are the realistic possibilities when looking at the four teams?
Here’s a quick ranking of the four teams in play for Asomugha as far as where he has the highest chances of landing:
Green Bay Packers:
In my opinion the Packers stand the best chance at getting Asomugha. They are coming off a Super Bowl win and could easily be favored to win another one if he signs with them.
Former Raider and Packers star Charles Woodson has said he would move to safety if Asomugha came to Green Bay.
The Pack already has one of the best defenses to go along with their explosive Aaron Rodgers led offense.
This might be too good for Asomugha to pass up.
Philadelphia Eagles:
The Eagles might be the most intriguing prospect for Asomugha considering the explosiveness they possess.
The offense is arguably the best in the league with a plethora of play-makers led by Mike Vick, and Asomugha could go to the defense and be a star with the Eagles.
He could put them over the top.
Houston Texans:
If Asomugha is looking to be the face of a franchise and perhaps that one big piece to the puzzle than I highly suspect he will go to the Texans.
They have the money to give him, and the stage for him to shine on.
Detroit Lions:
Detroit would be interesting because they are the team on the rise, and are building what looks to be the beginning of a dominant defense.
Unfortunately for the Lions, Asomugha may be well out of their price-range.
He will be looking for a contract somewhere between $18-$20 million a year, and I don’t think the Lions can pony up for that much.
