The Jets are no longer in the sweepstakes for Nnamdi Asomugha according to NFL Network.The former Raiders cornerback dragged the Jets along all week long, to the point that Gang Green was risking the possibility of losing out on its most important free agent pursuits --- its own players.
The Dallas Cowboys have heard two things. One they heard that they are the team, and they have also heard that they are out of the Asomugha sweepstakes as well.
The Jets have to focus on their own players. They must sign Braylon Edwards, have to re-sign Antonio Cromartie, a defensive end and even a back-up quarterback. The Jets have bigger fish to fry. They really didn't need Asomugha. They had the top corner in the NFL in Revis, and all they needed to do was bring back Cromartie or a comparable cornerback.
Some Jet fans will be disappointed that they won't have the dynamic duo of Revis and Asomugha in their secondary, but fact is, banking $30 million in two players who play the same position would have crippled the Jets and the future plans. The Jets should consider themselves lucky that they are out of this thing, they should never have gotten into it to begin with.
Wide receiver and defensive end are bigger needs for Gang Green, and they have to fill out those spots immediately.
