ESPN's John Clayton reports that the Raiders have reached agreement on a three-year, $45 million contract with Nmamdi Asomugha. $26 million is guaranteed.
Al Davis is not afraid to go big, and this time it's appropriate. Asomugha is the type of player you overpay - the best cornerback in the NFL squarely in his prime. He's worth extra to the Raiders because of their man-to-man scheme. The per-year numbers set a bench for corners that aren't likely to be matched for a long time.
Haha with these insane contracts no wonder players aren't leaving Oakland until Al Davis gets mad at them.
