Asomugha Lands Monster New Deal

[SnakeLH2006]

That's crazy money but that, or the tag, was the only way Oakland was going to keep him. At least Al Davis is sufficiently savvy to realize he shouldn't let his best player walk.

Let the record show that our friend Lurker has used sufficiently savvy and Al Davis in the same sentence.

Are you questioning the sanity and competency of this man?

He has a heart of evil I tell ya! He will torture generations of souls! MWHAHAHAHAAA!



Well, looks like Al knows he's done soon on this Earth, so may as well give INSANE cash away. Dude is an awesome player, but the yearly average of over $15 million is about $5 million more than the next highest paid yearly CB. Why pay that unless the dude really wanted to leave Oakland (can't blame him there though).

That shit just fucks the whole league up. I thought Jerry Jones would do it first, but Dayummm... Let's pay him Peyton money.....sure helped Oakland to the playoffs didn't he?

Remember when peeps bitched about overpaying C.Wood initially, then Al being greedy wanting more money??? We could afford 3 of those guys for 1 of this dude.

So much for a recession, eh Al? Damn it all. Can't wait to see what this and Peppers' deal does to FA and future contracts at premium positions.

Actually it's only ~15% higher than Champ Bailey's cap value for 2008. Still it's too high for a CB. Others may want that kind of cash, But I think GM's will say go work for crazy Al if you want that much.

I wasn't going with 2008 or 2009 cap figures but ESPN reporting it was a yearly average of around $5 million greater than the next highest over the entire deal. I'm sure Patler and Waldo will arrive soon to put up some figures, but either way...tons of cash to fuck up the annual salaries at CB around the league now and in the future.

Nah, I don't think it messes anything up. That was said about the deal he signed a mediocre DT to a while back, and the money he gave Javon, etc.

I think any agent who brings up contracts players sign with Oakland just gets laughed at, and told that's not relevant, because we're playing with a full deck here.

That Tommy Kelley deal still has everybody shaking their heads.

A mediocre player given all that money?

He never played and still hasn't.

Why Al, why?
