Dallas Cowboys sign Nnamdi Asomugha: Asomugha could go on a LeBron James-like tour of the NFL, but he won't have a lot of time to weigh his options. Of all the teams with a need at cornerback, the Asomugha race could come down to the Cowboys and Texans. No one needs help in the secondary more than Houston, but if all things are equal, Jerry Jones could woo Asomugha with all the extras that come with being a Cowboy. There's a lot more glamour in Dallas than in Houston, and the Cowboys defense could be very good under new coordinator Rob Ryan. Some of the other teams reportedly interested in Asomugha could be scared off by his price tag. Teams like the Jets and Ravens are already spending a lot of money at cornerback. The Patriots could certainly use Asomugha, but they don't pay a lot for that position. The Lions also have to covet Asomugha, but he may not be convinced Detroit is ready to become a playoff team.

Whew, we almost let an entire 24 hours pass without putting up something Scrabble related. I swore I wouldn't write about Asomugha, I blame the combination of Nyquil and Zima.

Think about how dominant our defense could be with arguably the best cornerback in the league in our backfield? It would instantly fix our only real weakness which is pass defense and more specifically cornerback problems. Any thoughts on this and if the steelers would ever actually go out and send big money on this type of free agent?

Looks like one of the best CB's in the NFL will be a FA. If there's a FA wonder if we'll be interested??
