Most Eagles fans are stating he willl be released at the end of the season,

I know most people on this board will disagree but I watched this guy in Oakland and I know he still has a lot left in the tank. The Eagles have been using him incorrectly, not to mention the entire team is in disarray.

WIth Jenkins obviously leaving next year, I think we should sign him. His market value will be low considering his recent struggles with the Eagles and he could come fairly cheap. Rob Ryan would definitely find a way to utilize his strengths and he could provide good depth.

He's not going to come cheap, and we've already invested more than enough resources in CB's. Pass.

He's been absolutely terrible this season. He can't cover anyone to save his life and he'll be 32 at the start of next season. He was horrible again today in the Eagles loss giving up a pair of TD's. We dodged a bullet when he signed with Philly tbh.

I think the OP is right, Philly isn't using him properly. But the fact is other teams recognize that as well and are going to be trying to sign him.

We didn't make the moves we made last offseason to get into a bidding war with another team over a 30+ year old CB.

I bet he winds up being decent wherever he lands next year though.

Care to explain what's wrong with how they are using him?

That's nothing but a cop out.. he's flat out sucked this year. Summed up nicely last game when he gave up a TD pass to his man who was more than 20 yards away from him when he caught it.

Nnamdi had some great years.. but he's done.

No thanks. He will be expensive. We have already gave up a 2nd rd pick last year for a DB and gave Carr a $50mm contract. How about using some money and resources to beef up this pathetic OL.

He can't start over Scandrick in the slot, can't start over Carr or Claiborne so what's the point? Unless he's willing to move to free safety?

Lol at a CB not being "used" correctly. He's playing mostly man, and getting burnt. Theres not much else to know. He's no longer able to keep up with fast receivers, thats just obvious.

Rather take the money and put it towards somewhere else. Like oline or dline

No way would I give him anything close to what he'll be asking for after seeing how well he's done with that big deal in Philly the last two seasons.

No. He has been a borderline locker room cancer with the team. He got Castillo canned and always is blaming other players when the secondary breaks down. I was pleased when we did not get him last year.
