I like the 3 year deal. In 3 years he will probably be done as a CB and will become a FS. Teams wont be as interested in him then so if he plays FS good we can sign him again but not this kind of money. Pretty much Im just happy we get to keep our best player for 3 more years

How much longer do you have Routt signed for?
You've also got 3 more years of Tyvon Branch and several more with Gibril. You might not even need to find anyone more than a marginal starter at FS because they should be able to look better than they really are with the rest of the talent around them.

i was just trying to make a big conspiracy theory where nnamdi would lead the raiders to believe he would sign the contract just to prevent them from tagging him and as soon as the deadline went by just diving in free agency and out of crazy al's grasp

Says the bitter Chiefs fan......
Glad to see Asomugha back in black. He's been in the Bay area since college and its nice to have him for 2-3 more years. The scary thing is he would be even better if we had any semblence of a pass rush.

Having gone to Cal, hes been in the general area for 10 years and will be there for at least 2 more. Thats pretty solid given the instability of being a professional athlete.

Tyvon Branch is going to get his shot at FS this year if he stays healthy. He has alot of speed and hopefully is what Huff was suppose to be. Our secondary is pretty much set for a few years if Branch can step up as a starting FS

Hell yea, he's a Free Agent...Aso would of gotten way more had he hit the market as well because when their is a bidding war the price drives up.

Way more than an average of about 15 million per year? There's no way in hell. The most the recent top corners who signed contracts made in their final year was about ten million, and those were all fictional years that were tacked on for contract sizing.
If Asomugha would have been paid the same average on the free market for a long term contract (say 6 years), the contracts worth would have been 90 million dollars (that's not even factoring that all of the money in Oakland's contract is practically guaranteed). That would make Asomugha the best paid non-quarterback in the NFL. I really doubt the free market would have paid him that much.

NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports that Asomugha's deal is worth a minimum of $45 million and could reach $50 million, according to a league source. The first two years, worth $28.5 million, are fully guaranteed.

I know the last 2 years were fluff, but I think the first 6 years come out to 52 millionish.
