"All-Pro cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha re-signed with the Oakland Raiders on Thursday, agreeing to a three-year, $45.3 million contract that gives him the highest salary in NFL history for a defensive back. Asomugha is guaranteed $28.5 million in the first two years of the contract. The Raiders have an option for a third year in 2011, which would be worth either $16.8 million or the amount of the quarterback franchise tag, whichever is greater (Sportsline)."
Asomugha is a hell of a CB, but you can't spend this kind of money on one player, especially a guy who is a DB. He has been a shut down corner and people try not to throw to that side of the field, but he only has 1 INT last year. Listen even when "Prime-Time" Sanders was at his best and people wouldn't throw to his side he was always able to get a couple more INTs. I like the signed, but the money is getting out of control, and reports are that Davis was heavily involved in these discussions. I don't know about you, but I bet this guy blows out his knee or something. Everything Davis touches goes to shit.
