Asomugha to get franchised AGAIN

The Raiders will "almost certainly" place the franchise tag on Nnamdi Asomugha again this offseason.

Asomugha wants a fresh start, but he isn't leaving Oakland barring a trade. If the Raiders were smart they would've given DeAngelo Hall's contract to Asomugha last year. Instead, he'll cost about $12M against their 2009 cap.

Peppers to Oakland?

Hah if Pep would agree to a trade to Oakland for Asomugha I would hope that Hurney would have him on the plane tomorrow...

I'd make that trade.

No offense to Pep. He rocks. But we don't want him if he doesn't want us. Nnamdi is a freak too. And a younger one.

Peppers doesn't have to agree to anything.

He does if the team wants a long-term deal in place before the trade is made...they wouldn't trade their best player if the player they were trading for wouldn't sign a long-term deal. Don't get me wrong I would be ecstatic to have Asomugha lining up opposite of Gamble but I don't see if happening.

Yeah the Raiders screwed up giving Hall all that dough, but they are the Raiders and love screwing up.

Than wouldn't Asomugha have to agree to a long term deal with us?

As far as I know the contract negotiating would come after the trade, and knowing how impulsive Al Davis is he would probably leap at the opportunity.

    • I don’t think we were watching the same game. Dalton’s passes weren’t on target either. Especially the 30 yard one that gave XL one third of his yards. The one he had to stop and come back for. XL just got more targets because Sauce was on TMac. 
    • A starving dog is thankful for table scraps too.  Yes, the winning streak is nice, but going from bottom dwellers to mediocre still isn't the long term solution.  Enjoy the now, but don't lose sight of the future.  Some of us know this is not a model that can sustain us forever nor deliver us a championship.  Teams will eventually lock down our rushing attack.  Our defense will lapse periodically.  There will be a time where we need a QB to play 'hero ball'.  We don't have that type of QB on this roster.
    • He came off the bench he should have been in the game from the start, he was coming off a historic 2 game run you ride that momentum and see what happens. That rotating series b.s is just cute it's not how football is played and won. Chuba can spell Rico but why force 50-50 split when the production isnt split?
