Even if he is willing to take a pay cut I am not sure the Eagles will keep him around.  He is scheduled to make 15 million next year and if we cut him it is only 4 million against the cap.  So unless he is willing to take a cut from 15 million to 4 million I am not sure he will be around next year.

[odin8888]

If he was consistent I still dont think he will get more than 4 mill anywhere else....

Can he be more consistent? can he switch to safety?

[inhumanehuman]

He needs to take a paycut. No defensive back should be paid elite QB money. That has nothing to do with his on-field performance.

[axe_man_trotter]

He's basically admitting he has stunk it up. I'd like keep to keep hiim at the right price.

[Towelie]

Then it's settled. Let's keep him.

We've been saying it forever, it's not that he's terrible, he's just overpaid.

So lower his pay, problem solved. We have too many holes on this team to get rid of an above average corner right now

Completely agree with this, get him back down to seven digits instead of eight.

[cmart102]

Well it was that or get cut

[greend]

will he work for hotdogs?

[jsp4`8]

I'm surprised that he wants to stay in Philly.

I guess since he's towards the end of his career he doesnt want to keep moving around.

[craig_78]

We need some players at safety or it's not going to matter who plays corner.

Maybe when we draft Joekel at T, Herremans can play a bit of safety.

Doesn't Carr on Dallas make similar wages? though, i agree but at least Carr has shown up to play.

Revis.

CB's are right behind QB's as far has being a premium position.

I don't think Carr is making that much, maybe 7 or 8 million.  Nnamdi is one of the highest paid players in the NFL and for what?

"Carr will receive $26.5 million guaranteed, including a $10 million signing bonus. His base salary will be $1.2 million in 2012, $14.3 million in 2013, $7.5 million in 2014, $8 million in 2015 and $9.1 million in 2016."

Yeah, it looks like his contract was incredibly front loaded. I feel like this is what the Cowboys and Redskins got in trouble for this season though, and why they are being charged a cap hit by the league. I could be wrong though.

After looking at salaries, it looks to me like the top corners are making between 8-11.5 million a year which in retrospect is a bit higher than I thought it would be considering the top 5 are over 10 million per year.

[FanSinceWayBack]

Keep him for the right price.... How good can anyone do with Burnt Coleman playing over the top of them? Yes, Nnamdi hasnt held his end of the bargain, but not everything that seems to be his fault IS his fault.

[greenpassion]

nnamdi will be much better next year under a competent coaching system and better safeties. we cant just cut everybody saying they make too much money that is silly infact why do we even care? i remember hearing last year that under the new collective bargaining system the salary cap management is not all that important like it used to be

do we want to win or make sure lurie gets to pocket a few extra million dollars every year wtf

[snoopdogg88]

10 years in the league

Zero winning seasons

Get rid of the loooser Nnamdi

[johncp]

Lets see him for 1 more year with  new defensive thinking in place and if it makes him better.
Would help save draft picks for another position thats needed and then draft 1 or 2 years later if he stinks it up
again .
Same with DRC.

[Edriscoll1010]

Rework his contact, resign drc, and look to add a safety and another cb in FA and the secondary looks promising. I would also like to see us address the o line in FA and look at jared cook or bowe to add some more offensive firepower and size in the rz. In the draft I think it's gonna be defensive heavy and this draft has talent on all 3 levels

[DieHardPhan]

I would love to keep Nnamdi around at a reduced rate. We have yet to see how he plays with S he can trust behind him.

[EccentricGreen]

I think in a different system he will be fine.  You don't go from all pro to no pro in one year and it be all your fault.

Even if he only cut to say $8M, the difference of $4M from his cut price to retaining him is well worth having a starting corner. I don't care if he's not what he was in Oakland, he's still good enough to be a starter.

I hope he can stick around. He's gonna have a chip on his shoulder eventually for not living up to hype, and he'll play with some enthusiasm if you can stick a halfway decent Safety behind him to give Nnamdi some renewed sense of hope. I'd feel helpless with the likes of Allen, and namely Coleman as my "safety net".

[eagle45]

Zero chance that he will be a serviceable CB by the time this team is ready to contend.  Goodbye, at any price.  He'd just be getting in the way of youngsters getting reps.

We don't really have any youngsters worth getting reps right now, and we're not going to get two of them in one offseason.
