Patriots have never brought in pricey corners so forget that. They are apprehensive about even spending money to keep the good ones they've had.
Nnamdi to the Jets is not as big an issue for the Patriots as it would be for other teams due to the number of weapons in the passing game. I would be more disheartened if they kept Edwards in addition to the Holmes signing than I will be with Nnamdi to the Jets. I still have no respect for the Jets offense.
The Pats don't need an old, expensive CB with the stink of the crypt keeper Al Davis on him. He'll be perfect on the JEST. Asomugha will look silly atrophying as he chases Danny Woodhead, Wes Welker and Julian Edelman around with Gronk rumbling up the sideline taking dead aim on his rickety skeletal Al Davis infested carcass.
No. I don't love that idea. It's a nightmare for any QB to face, 'football purist' or not. I'm hoping some GM out there vastly overpays for Asomugha so he doesn't end up in Jets land. The last thing I want to see is Tubby Rex hoisting the Lombardi and spouting 'I told you we'd win it all' in a nationwide press conference.
Take off your homer hats for a few minutes and imagine Nnamdi to the Jets. If you are a football purist you gotta love the idea of TB going up against the best secondary in modern history 2-3x a year dontcha?? New York/Boston, Belichick/Ryan, Offense/Defense, so many story lines. There is so much more satisfaction in beating a good team than a crappy team, right? I dont expect everyone to be so bold as to emplore competition, but isnt that what we watch football for to begin with?

What would REALLY be great for the pats is if the jets can sign a motivated Randy Moss for the vet minimum to destroy their locker room, and some injury prone back like Ronnie Brown or Joe Addai on "prove it" deals.
OH THOSE SILLY JETS!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!! (No)
Listening to ESPN Boston..Andy Hart says pats are still favorite.but if jets get Nnamdi..he is going to go to jest and the ability to shut down this Offense as it stands now. Take it for what it's worth

Champ Bailey and Charles Woodson are both a lot older and still performing at a high level. The Jests also managed to retain their #1 receiver who took a pay cut to stay there according to sources.
The Jests are quite serious about building a real team and several players have either offered, or as the article I read said "players have been told" their deals will be restructured to bring Nnamdi on board.
Yes, they will have a lot of their cap tied up in 2 corners but they are finding ways to make it work while still bringing in high level players. They're also in contact with Moss right now as they figure Braylon will walk.
I also doubt they will sign him to a simple one year deal, this duo will be around for at least a few years if the Jets manage to bring him in.

Does it mean that if Andy Hart annoits the Jets the favorite that they are awarded the AFC East title in August? Hart has his opinion. Until I see what both teams' opening day roster is, I reserve judgement. Free agency hasn't even started.

As much as I would hate it if the Jets got Asomugha, it wouldn't change the way the Pats play them. Revis locks down Branch, whoever Asomugha covers on the outside is - unless we sign somebody - generally a non-factor.
Neither one of those guys can cover Welker, Gronk, Hernandez or Woodhead. In fact, Welker has abused both Revis & Asomugha at times. The Cassel game in Oakland comes to mind where Nnamdi struggled to cover Wes.

If you've got Revis and Nnamdi, you've completely shut down the two outside receivers. That allows you to use 9 players to attack the QB and flood the middle of the field.
Of course that changes how the Patriots will have to play them.

Yeah, but he's got five big nasty guys (including Logan Mankins, thank God) giving him time to do what he does so well. 2 CBs covering 2 WRs leaves 9 on 9, whatever their positions might be. And we're concerned about....?
