Raiders Re-Sign All Pro Cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha to a Three Year deal

February 19, 2009

The Oakland Raiders have retained the services of their free agent shutdown corner for at least another three years. The $45.3 million dollar contract sets a new gold standard of pay for his position.

His average salary of $15 million per season exceeds that of even Colts' QB Peyton Manning's previous league best $14 million.

Asomugha has been the bright spot among a Raiders' defense that has struggled the past few seasons. His re-signing continues what is proving to be a very good offseason thus far for the Raiders.
