No Asomugha

I saw on the Sportscenter crawl this morning that Philadelphia won the Nnamdi Asomugha pursuit. I never even heard of them being in the running. Especially after getting Cromartie in the Kolb trade from Arizona. I figured if the Jets didn't get him the Cowboys would end up with him.

This will free up some money for the Jets to get a player who can get to the QB. They didn't fare too well in that category last year. Bryan Thomas led with 6 sacks last year. There's talk of Kris Jenkins coming back to the Jets, but he's not much of a pass rusher. Jevon Kearse was released by the Eagles but how much does he have left? Justin Smith is durable but only had two sacks with Cincinnati last year, but is available.

Brad Smith is signing with the Buffalo Bills. It's sad to see him go. He's very valuable as a return guy with two TD returns last year. Perhaps Joe McKnight can fill those shoes.

Stay tuned.
