I think we have a chance to.  There were talks last year with the Lions about trading for him and it actually almost got done.  A dream come true at this point would be to somehow sign Nnamdi and Champ, but they need to go after at least one of these guys.

Revis, Asomugha together as Jets?

The AFC's starting cornerbacks, http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=10458Darrelle Revis and http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=4489Nnamdi Asomugha, want to play on the same team. As fantastical as that notion might be, it's frightening to consider. 

Oakland Raiders star Asomugha was smiling when he brought up the dream scenario, but insisted he was "dead serious" and has spoken to http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=nyjNew York Jets coach Rex Ryan about it. 

"Me and Revis have been talking to Rex to try to do something," Asomugha said. "You may see us in the future. There's a little bit of talk going on. Either he's coming to Oakland or something else will happen." 

Said Revis: "Me and him have talked about it, but I can't really control that situation. I don't know if he can either." 

As much of a nightmare as it would be for opposing quarterbacks, it would be just as daunting for a team's capologist to figure out a way to pay them both. Asomugha has two years left on a three-year, $45.3 million contract that made him the highest-paid defensive back in NFL history. 

Revis, considered by most to be the NFL's top cover cornerback, might make more than that soon. 

"That's a lot of money they're going to be pushing around," Revis said, "but that'll be tough for quarterbacks. I'll tell you that." 

Revis and Asomugha on the field together would elicit memories of Mike Haynes and Lester Hayes for the http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=oakOakland Raiders in the 1980s. 

"In a league where the art of man-to-man has kind of gone out of style, that could bring it back," Asomugha said. 

"You always want that as a player, to have that guy on the other side of you that's equally as talented and can make plays. It fuels you a little bit. We'd been joking around with [AFC coach] Norv Turner throughout practices all week, and with [NFL commissioner] Roger Goodell. He said they probably wouldn't allow us on the same team."

Ruh Roh. This would be right up Rex alley if they could fit both of them under whatever cap is put in place. This could get interesting.

Don't yall think he'll want to go to a winner? He's been in turmoil his whole career in Oakland....He'll get a HUGE payday regardless of where he goes, but I think he's going to end up on a team that finished .500 or better.
