Joe B – I havent seen anyone suggest we trade a 1st rounder for Sheppard. He is better than a mediocre cornerback, and he would be the 2nd best corner on our roster.

What is this fascination with and overvaluing of Lito Sheppard? He’s a mediocre cornerback, and we’ve got plenty of those already. Plus I’ve been reading people wanting to trade a 1st rounder or Coles for him? Excuse me? The Eagles couldn’t GIVE Sheppard away last offseason, now you want to ship a first rounder or Coles to them? Um, someone tell these people it’s not 2006.

Well, I had predicted 10m a year with 30m in guarantees for Nnamdi, but I am shocked that the contract is so short. Why not just give him a longer deal that pays the same money through the first three years?

I wonder if that was the team’s or the player’s decision.

Could it be the economic climate that made the team keep it that short (but if so, why not make the contract longer as mentioned above because they can still get out of it after three years).

Alternatively, has Nnamdi demanded this so that he can get another big payday under the new CBA…and if so are we going to see many similar deals which are shorter but with higher than expected non-guaranteed money?

By the way, the Raiders were listed along with the Jets as being in cap jail in Lombardi’s article, so how on earth will they manage to afford this? (Unless, perhaps, Lombardi was wrong)…

I like Nicks too, but i’d be surprised if hes around in the 2nd round.

I trust Hutch’s cap #s. I would still like to trade coles for lito shephard and then sign or draft a tall speedy WR. Nicks from UNC would be an excellent 2nd round choice.

I agree 100% my man. I am also a huge Revis fan, and have been since his days at Pitt,and would like nothing more to see him retire in Green and White. Also lets give Leon some dam money, he definitly deserves it.

Again, my reason for not signing another CB was proved with Ashomuga’s contract: $45.3M over 3 (!!!) years with $28.5M guaranteed. With the holes at ILB, SS, RDE and WILL (plus DL depth), signing Ashomuga would have made the CBs great at the cost of the rest of the defense. No need to test the CBs if you can run the ball or dink and dunk to the TEs and RBs.
