Asomugha to sign long term with Raiders

For a change, the Oakland Raiders intercepted CB Nnamdi Asomugha on his way to the free-agent market.

Asomugha signed a three-year deal that is worth a minimum of $45 million and could reach $50 million, a league source said.

It’s a complex contract that the NFL had to sift through and approve, and it has. The deal works like this:

The first two years, worth $28.5 million, are fully guaranteed. In the third year of the contract, if Oakland wants to keep Asomugha, it must pay him the average of the top five highest-paid quarterbacks in the game or $16.875 million — whichever is greater. If the Raiders fail to pick up the option, Asomugha will become a free agent, with Oakland not having the ability to tag him again.

It’s a complex deal, but the bottom line is it’s done. The Raiders kept Asomugha and punter Shane Lechler without having to use a franchise tag.

Damn, he raped the Raiders and he still will have plenty of value after it is over to get another huge deal in 2 or 3 years from now.

Damn. 14.25 per for 2 years guaranteed with no catches. Damn.

Yes he did, if he stays on the third he gets 16 million or the average of the top 5 QB's in the league. WOW

The bad part for Oakland is the whole contract is guaranteed, The first two years are definite. Though if Oakland takes the 3rd year on him the full 50 million will have been paid, because that 16 million would be guaranteed as well. WOW, just WOW. Can we trade peppers there....they like giving away money and stuff.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      Plenty of us even the outspoken critics have give him credit for the impressive plays he's made. The box score watcher claims do make me laugh though because it's not as if Bryce is some kind of unicorn at the position where there is an untold story in the stat line. That's also very indicative of where we're at though on the whole conversation isn't it? I mean Bryce Young hasn't done anything whatsoever that we haven't seen UDFA Kyle Allen do and we only gave that guy 12 starts. Bryce Young has had nearly 4 times that and there are still some people who are basically resetting the clock between games. And these same people cannot understand why others are fed up. We've never seen this level of benefit of the doubt for any other Panthers QB based on a full picture of career starts. At this point the meat of Bryce's game is what it is. In order for Bryce Young to have a big day he needs either the other team to shīt the bed or he needs everything on our end to go perfectly with excellent pass protection virtually at all times. But how rare is that? How many times have we just blown the doors off teams with Bryce Young at QB and when that happened how did we accomplish it? There's a reason even the most impressive wins from Bryce Young have always been within one score. The limitations of his game are what they are regardless of how talented the moving parts around him may or may not be. Nothing in that regard has changed or will change. It is what it is.

      Big win for the Tarheels today.  I think they already have more Q1 wins this year than they've had the last three years pre-conference.   Still need to learn to close out games, but their size and stretch ability is going to be a problem in April.  GDTBATH
