Adam Schefter: Cowboys going after Ndamdi Asomghua

[Bonecrusher#31]

Adam Schefter says Cowboys will go after Ndamdi Asomghua

Adam Schefter said on espn during the draft that he has heard the Cowboys will go hard after Ndamdi Asomghua once free agency starts.

He also mentioned Michael Huff too.

Sounds like he's throwing ____ on the wall.

 

[Midswat]

I think Huff is ours.

Aso.... not so much.

 

[Cr122]

You'd shit if we landed both of them.

 

[Sheik]

Huff is on my list.

Namy Assholehmong, not so much.

 

[Cythim]

I'll sign em both! Right along side all of that depth we just drafted for our D-Line!

 

[RoyTheHammer]

Huff is on my list.

Namy Assholehmong, not so much.

Why would you possibly want Huff and not Asomugah?


All i can say is, after our selections today, we sure as hell better go after him. Christ Jerry knows how to fuck up a draft!

I'm looking at the cap. I think we can hang with what we have at corner for at least another year. We need to improve our pass rush, that'll improve our corners a lot.

You bring in Huff, resign Free(let's face it, he'll be somewhere along the line for the next 3-5 years), sign one of our DEs back(hopefully Spears, he's the key to our running game) and that leaves some room to maybe bring in a FA gaurd.

We don't have a ton of cap room. IMO, no reason to spend big on an aging corner.

Would I hate it? No. I'd just look to go a different route.

Don't need to worry about cap room when there isn't going to be a cap.

Also, releasing guys like Roy Williams, Barber, Colombo, etc are easy ways to help the cap.

We passed on that chance when we passed on Brooks Reed.

The cap will return at some point, though. It's not a good idea to spend with reckless abandonment. It'll catch up with us sooner or later.

Barber and Marc C will help the cap a little, but Williams will hurt the cap IIRC.

I think Rob and his fresh take on scheme will go a long way in helping with our pass rush. That, and Anthony Spencer pulling his head out of his ass.

Writers keep mentioning a $12 millionish cap hit if we drop Roy but I keep writing to them and no one has produced numbers to validate it. From the last Watkins article I read:

If the Cowboys release the under-performing Williams, they would take a $12.9 million cap hit. Williams said he wants retire with the Cowboys but is due to earn a $5.1 million base salary, and his cap number is $9.4 million. It's doubtful he would take a pay cut, if asked.

Watkins makes the mistake of assuming Roy's $4.3 milllion prorated bonus will extend over the final three years of his contract, making it $12.9 in total bonuses. He is missing the fact that bonuses have not been allowed to be prorated beyond the 2012 season, making the number closer to $8.6 million.

But lets pretend Watkins is right. If we cut him this year we take on an additional $3.5 million against the cap. Now we have to cut him next year and save only $2.5 million in cap space (Roy will cost us $11 million against the 2012 cap accord to Watkins).

OR

We cut Roy after the new June 1 date, whenever that will be. This allows us to take the supposed $12.9 million and split it between 2011 and 2012. We end up saving $3 million against the 2011 cap and $2.4 million against the 2012 cap, or all of Roy's 2011 base salary.

That's the one thing about this league that I never bothered to try and figure out. The salary cap gives me headaches.

I do not think anyone knows what the real number is, but it is known that it will be less than his base salary from 2011 and 2012. We can cut him, split the difference over two years and save about $3 million in cap space total.

That's exactly what he's doing.

This dire CB need is a product of their imagination.

Ah, I see now. You're an idiot.

You run with that. Mortgage your future for another cornerback.

 

[LAZARUS_LOGAN]

Huff is on my list.

Namy Assholehmong, not so much.

The two free agents that I want are Huff and Blalock---to replace Kosier.

Justin Blalock. Had we signed Rackley in the 3rd instead of a 3rd down RB, we would have been set.
