July 30 (Bloomberg) -- Cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha joined fellow Pro Bowlers Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Asante Samuel in the Philadelphia Eagles' defensive secondary, shunning the New York Jets, air max
Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers.
Asomugha, 30, a four-time All Pro selection during his eight-year career with the Oakland Raiders, was considered the top free agent available this year.
Signing of free agents began last night at 6 p.m. Eastern time. The teams had been restricted from talking to players during the 4 1/2-month lockout that ended July 25.
The Jets had hoped Asomugha would create a Pro Bowl cornerback Cheap Nike Air Max 24-7 Men's Black Purple
tandem with Darrelle Revis on a team that had the American Football Conference's fourth-stingiest passing defense last season.
Instead, he will align with Rodgers-Cromartie, who was acquired from the Arizona Cardinals, and Samuel. Eagles General Manager Howie Roseman said the team was late in its negotiations with Asomugha.
"I think that his priority was to go to a place where he was going to compete for a world championship and I think that's why we had a shot there," Roseman said during a news conference yesterday. "We have a good Air Max 24-7 Men's
team and we're looking forward to the season."
