I think most Eagles fans including me want them both gone. However, with the other needs we have I can't see them both getting, I think 1 will have to stick around.

Aso was clearly awful last year and will have to negotiate. However, he showed flashes against Detriot and I have a feeling with better safeties he could play well enough to warrant a chance to start next year.

DRC has all the talent in the world, athletic ability and what not. However, he is notnfully committed and can be very lazy and a horrible tackler. I'm not sure whether I want him on this team next year.

And I a lot of you will want to vote neither. But I just have that gut feeling we'll keep one of them, so pick one!

I want to see what they can both do under a new coaching staff. I'd re-sign DR-C to a short term deal with the option to extend based on performance.Aso has already said he's willing to re-structure.

[axe_man_trotter]

If you're only keeping one, if say bring back Aso and re work his contract. Let DRC enter free agency... He'll probably do this anyway. DRC will end up getting a lot more money than he's worth.

[wildturtle]

why would they keep either.  First DRC is a FA and not under contract so they will have to re-sign him not keep him.  Nnamdi can't play

[Krukslonelyball]

It's funny watching Eagles fans constantly thinking the grass is always greener.

A shut-down corner shouldn't rely on safety help all of time. Also,  he's not a rookie so when we see "flashes" it should be cause for concern, not hope.

Well because we 100% need 2 brand new safeties. Can you bring in 4 new starters for the secondary in one off season?

[cowboysblow56]

Neither

[SirReal]

Aso if he restructures, otherwise DRC.

[Sean Jerz]

Where's the choice for both to leave town?

It obviously takes both sides to agree ... maybe DRC thinks he'll be able to get a better deal elsewhere ?

Exactly - Aso was getting burned fairly regularly in man coverage by even average WRs even when he wasn't relying on safety help.

[KillerBirds11]

I'd have to simply say Nnamdi would stay if I HAD to choose... DRC is just not physical enough.. He can't and won't tackle and my 5  month old son probably has more amount of strength in him pound for pound.

I don't care how fast DRC can run.. he can't play fundamental football.

I understand that. And quite frankly, he's probably right. Someone will throw stupid money at  him. But if he's as good as he thinks he is and understands he still has something to prove, he would sign a 2 year, incentives laden contract. If he outperforms it he can run the table anywhere contract-wise.

[EaglesFan5327]

I'm sorry, I can't just pick one

[Runtherock]

Neither, 4 wins, both quit, both played poorly, time to cut away the garbage. You don't win championships with quitters.

[vsptroops]

Just thinking about both of them makes me wanna barf but if I had to choose, I guess Nandi- but only if he restructures his contract.

[WaitingForSomeday]

DRC... $10M to franchise -or- Antonio Cromartie money 4 years/ $32M, $14M guaranteed.

Reread the OP, then see if you still have that question.

[nipples]

I'm sorry but anyone saying that neither should stay is an idiot. We already need two new starters at safety, they are not going to replace all 4 secondary positions in one offseason.

I say keep Nnamdi and restructure his deal since they'd have to sign DRC to an extension to keep him, which will likely be more than he's worth.

Yep. I just find it incredible that 2 former Pro Bowl players were that bad once they came here.
Just amazing. It makes no sense.
I mean I can see MAYBE Nnamdi slipping a little becuase he is a couple years older. But my god, there were times when they looked like they never played before.

And here is the other 3 issues.
1) Maybe fans don't understand this but there are not many REAL GOOD quality CBs in the NFL. So it's not like you can just go to the store and grab a couple.
2) I'm not sure we have anything on the team that can step in and be starters. I know Boykin was only a rookie, but it sure looks like he is destined to be the slot CB. Which is fine. To me that's actually a required starting position anyway. But is anyone sold on Marsh or Hughs ??? Not saying they can't be. But ????
3) What's the chance of getting a starting CB in the draft ??? We all know how bad of a crap shoot the draft is yearly.

[scott time]

Poll foolishly didn't include the option "neither"

There are a couple of mock drafts that have the eagles taking dee milliner, the corner from Alabama. Don't know much about him other than there defense was pretty damn good.

Once again, it would be completely retarded to try to replace all 4 starters in the secondary in one offseason.

I understand that but keeping one shouldn't be an option. If both leaving were on the poll it would be a land slide for them both to go by fans vote. That's all..
