" but he didn't have any interceptions, fumble recoveries or sacks this season.
He will be the top defensive player available whenever free agency begins"
Quote from the article.
Ok i don't get it. Didnt sound like he had a great year but will be to def player in FA? Was he playing to get out of Oakland maybe? Either way, Hope Jax looks into picking him up. They need some def help badly.

Just having Asomugha in the line up shuts down what ever WR he covers shrinking the field.
No INT's just means no team throws his way, less is more

Rather have Asomugha go to the Jags, the Jets has showed interest in the past, i hate the Jets :jetssuck:

AFC playoffs are tough to cheer for so far. Don't care for NE or NYJ. Yet gotta suffer at least 2 more weeks of one of them. KC, just can't get any enthusiasm for them. NFC playoffs are definitly more exciting this year. Cindarella Seattle, Atlanta v Philly possibly looks great, GB, Chicago. Posible matchups look more tempting. Going out on a limb and say NFC wins the SB.
There'll be several teams in the market for him.

Great thing for Aso here. Al is clearly trying to knock the franchise back down to the depths of 4 win hell. He gets the unique opportunity to choose where he wants to go in the NFL and get paid a monster price for it.
After putting up with so much losing, it wouldnt shock me if he passed on teams like the Jags and Texans, signing for less with a real contender.
About the only team I could see off the board already is the Redskins. Who would want to play there...

Most definitely not one of A.Davis smartest moves, you just never know what he may pull from his hat next.
There still is a chance that the Raiders could get Asomugha under a new contract but its not looking good right now.

i was talking to a co-worker about it this morning . . . if the texans could pull this off and also grab champ bailey to play FS . . . man, i can only dream . . .
Philly could definately use a corner opposit Samual. So this wouldn't surpise me either.
saw something that says Jets or Packers would probably be his landing spots. He would like to play for Rex Ryan and is best friends with C Woodson
ETA: Former Raiders beat writer David White believes impending free agent Nnamdi Asomugha will end up with the Jets or Packers.
"I know him well. ... Mark it down," said White. After playing for the Raiders for eight seasons, White says Asomugha wants to play for a proven winner. White added that the shutdown corner has said he'd like to play for Jets coach Rex Ryan and his best friend is Packers corner Charles Woodson. Asomugha will draw interest from virtually every team in the league as the best defensive player available, but fitting him under the potential new CBA's salary cap is another story altogether.

Asomugha didn't have a great year. He was also injured. What a great way to get out of Oakland with that contract. Have a lazy, bad year, and you get out skate free.

It was actually not a bad claus to put in. It gave the raiders the chance to void the contract.
He's a great corner; no doubt. But I would rather free up his $17 million and put it to somebody to stop the run. Thats the big problem for the raiders D; 4th last against the run.
Shutting down is great, but that kind of money for no turnovers is kind of steep when you have massive holes in other positions like the raiders do.
