Ponder, Carmichael-CB ???????
No offense, but I laughed out loud when I read this thread.
Nhamdi wants to go to a winner and that we are not. Yet.
This.
I think there should be a distinction between "possible" and "realistic". This is possible, but not realistic imo.
He wants to go to winning team. That doesn't mean he's going to find an elite team willing to pay him elite corner money. You only have so many resources and most of the elite teams just don't have room to pay him. He's not going to sign for pennies on the dollars and Pittsburgh might be the great team that can actually land him.
We land Donovan maybe he starts to think we can be a great team.
I saw Pittsburgh is losing something like 3 of 4 corners, so maybe.
If he wanted elite corner money, he could have stayed in Oakland for $15 mil per year. I doubt he leaves Oakland just to go to another team mired in question marks just to make elite corner money again. But I have no idea. Maybe it is as simple as he wants out from the dysfunction that is Oakland these days, and he would consider a team in a similar situation, as long as its not Oakland specifically.
All I'm saying is that if his priority is winning a SB, there are going to be teams better positioned to make that happen. And we won't really know which teams can bid on him until a new CBA is in place.
Asomugha is going to be the most sought after FA on the market. McNabb is still a Redskin.
Getting those guys may technically be possible at some point, but I think we're still a ways from "realistic" at this point.
My point is of the super Bowl caliber teams only 1 or 2 of them might have legitimate interest in him. Pittsburgh being the most probable. It's not a guarantee that a better franchise will have the right offer for him, but you're right that we won't know for sure until the CBA comes around.
I'm sure he wants to go to a winner but if the money isn't right I think it's much more money likely that he goes to the highest bidder. I'm not one to believe that he'll leave ridiculous money laying on the table so unless a team like Baltimore or Pittsburgh is willing to pay I think he's all talk right now.
Maybe so. I just don't believe he'd walk from a record contract with Oakland unless he had non-monetary reasons. Particularly when the league is in the middle of a labor dispute that could see the players piece of the pie actually shrink next year. But maybe he's looking for another signing bonus or maybe he's looking for a deal that lasts longer than one more year.
And who knows how far down the list of contenders we are in his mind. Its not only teams like Baltimore & Pittsburgh that matter. It just has to be a team he considers better than us. Teams like the Giants, Cowboys, Saints, Texans, etc could all be in the conversation after the CBA.
