The Philadelphia Eagles defense caused a turnover in the New York Jets and Dallas Cowboys schemes when they intercepted ace defensive back Nnamdi Asomugha and signed him to a five-year, $60 million contract. The unexpected move underlines what we wrote this morning: The Eagles are a suddenly dangerous team. And that was when we were only speaking of Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Vince Young on the Eagles roster.
Nnamdi Asomugha? Recently voted 18th best NFL player of 2011? Really?
