I'm not sure about you, but I am still trying to process the Nnamdi Asomugha signing. Reactions to the shock deal have been pouring in from local, out of market, and national writers alike. There's no shortage of opinions on the marquee free agent deciding to sign here in Philly.
My favorite reaction comes from Jerry Jones, who found out about the signing during a live radio interview. Skip to the 15:45 mark to hear the disbelief in Jones' voice as he refuses to believe Asomugha actually signed with the Eagles. Jones was convinced that he would have been notified before any deal was in fact finalized. Sorry, Jerry.
Former NFL defensive back Matt Bowen, who writes for The National Football Post, breaks down how Asomugha will fit into Juan Castillo's defense.

With three Pro Bowl corners on the roster some believe the Eagles will look to move Asante Samuel. Jeff McLane writes that while Samuel does not want to move the Eagles have been fielding calls.
Reuben Frank also checks in on what the move may mean for Asante Samuel's future in Eagle green. Roob writes, "A year after the Eagles used Ellis Hobbs, Dimitri Patterson and Joselio
Hanson as starting cornerbacks, a guy with 49 career interceptions,
eight touchdowns and four Pro Bowl appearances could very well be
expendable."
