Nnamdi on waivers!

[curryfizzle]

seeing how we are doing alot a of bump and run man coverage on D, what do you guys think about claiming Nnamdi if infact he's still available at our waiver priority? just a thought...

[sreylas937]

no thanx

[Buck Showalter]

is it even a possibility with Colts current cap status...

[CR91]

if hes fine being the 4th corner because hes not beating out toler or butler. nnamdi is washed up. coruse we could use a backup safety since howell is hurt. a lot of corners make the move to safety once they get up there in age.

His contract is veteran minimum. Anything would be an upgrade to Cassius Vaughn.

[Valpo2004]

Probably would be an improvement over Vaughn, but I'm not sure if we'd have the cap room.  What was his contract like?

[curryfizzle]

that's what my first thought was as well, but I heard on NFL insiders that his contract is not that big.

 

"Nnamdi signed his one-year contract, it included no guaranteed money, up to $1.35 million in base salary and roster bonuses, and then another $1.225 million in various incentives." -- source Ninersnation[.]com

Personally, seeing our injury track record in the secondary, I think he would be great to have.

"@NinersNation $800k in honors (Pro Bowl & All-NFL), $425k in playtime (starting at 70%) & $425k for interceptions (needs at least 4)."

 

Going by all the info on that article, seeems like a cheap commodity to have even if he ends up being terrible.

Vaughn is 1.3 million against the cap right now.  Claim Nnamdi and waive Vaughn and we might save some cap money and get better at the same time.  

 

However we are probably near the bottom of the waiver priority, so there is a good chance we wouldn't get him even if we do put in a claim on him. 

[MTC]

No thanks, he isn't good anymore.

[BOTT]

Don't think the exclamation point is warranted

[Dark Superman]

I'll take him over Vaughn.

[Colts420]

i dont think he fits our system

Vaughn's contract is guaranteed for the season.

I think it is definitely warranted.  IMO, he is better than vaugh, and we wouldn't be asking him to do too much.  He maybe our nickel back and help in 3rd down situations with man coverage.  I think he is still a servicable DB in this league.

[curryfizzle]

...please do elaborate.   We played Seattle, Denver, Houston all in man coverage.  Going back to his Raider days, that's what Nnamdi got paid the big bucks for.

I had to check te date of this post after seeing the exclamation point , thought maybe this was 2010 or something lol

[Fx Stryker]

Nnamdi just needs his system. Man scheme is his system. I would take a run at him.

+1

[Superman]

I'd put in a claim on him, but I doubt he lasts. 

[B-B]

Pagano was was his CB coach in Oakland when he had his best year, and there's not much at backup CB, why not take a chance?

[jbaron04]

I hope Namdi brings his own clothes line , to hang him self up on , this guy is washed up ,

[House]

He won't make it to us, but yes please.

[Carl Dzienkiewicz]

im in a wheelchair---------im better than vaughn

[Balzer40]

Nnamdi sucks. His time has passed. Don't give me the scheme nonsense either, he played a man scheme in San Fran and was terrible. There is a reason why his last 2 teams got rid of him, he's toast and has been toasted regularly over the last few seasons. 

[UKColt13]

As long as he's playing man to man, he's still at least better than Cassius Vaughn. I'd take him on a veteran minimum contract. He already has a good rapour with Pags from his days in Oakland.

I take a flyer on him as a 4th corner.

[NewEra]

I think we could put up a cardboard poster and do better than Vaughn ;) ok, maybe he's not that bad but he gets worked over at times

[Gavin]

I'd take him as our #2, Toler is not a #2 Corner, completely outmatched much of the time

[The Fish]

I wouldn't count on anything great if the Colts did grab him. You could talk me into bringing in depth, but this is not likely to happen at all.

[Colts80]

He won't make it to us. He would be an upgrade to gordy however. he's the Mcglynn of the secondary

[Colts_Fan12]

I'd take him

[Qwiz]

Overrated at this point in time. Just a flashy name floating around out there, so surely some team will take a chance on him.

I'm not sure if he would contribute at all on special teams, which is why he might not be worth a roster spot to most teams.

As is Nnamdi that's why he was cut

Has he ever played ST? Lol, I haven't watched much of Eagles/Raiders so I can't say for sure.

[jbaron04]

 

nuff said , we have vaughn for this 

[throwing BBZ]

He took the $$$ and lost the edge. No use for him on our team.

[Warhorse]

Stop with your logic.....

[Colts20593]

Doesnt SF run man to man?

[Balzer40]

Here's that pesky broken record again. Gavin, everytime you say this you lose a little more credibility.

[SkyBane]

I can see as a replacement to Vaughn, but Toler? I guffaw in your general vicinity for such silliness.
