The Oakland Raiders are "closer and closer" to signing Pro Bowl cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha to a long-term contract, sources told Sporting News.

Of course, it's the Raiders, so they could definitely still screw things up.

Yea, this has been a bummer day for CBs. I figured Robinson was a guy that could have been had for a good price (although, I'm sure he isn't as underrated in nfl circles as he is by fans).

$10M for a CB. Wow that's expensive.

Yeah figured this would happen hes a pretty good CB and only other FA texans had to really worry about is TE Owen Daniels who is a RFA.

Now that is ridiculous! Tagging a guy who has been injured for the last couple of years. You know your franchise doesn't have many big name players when they tag a guy like this.

Robinson is a solid CB but I KNEW we had no chance of getting him.. Some team always looks at a young player, where they are picked in the draft and the talent he has and throws boat loads of money at him..

It was the right move for the texan but at that price, unless they hammer out a long term deal, its not worth it..

i think if pats would give lot of money to a cb,they signed samuel...
so robinson and asmougha were not in the radar of pats
