• 2/18 KFFL.com Hot off the Wire: Raiders | Nnamdi Asomugha on the way out?: Oakland Raiders pending free-agent CB Nnamdi Asomugha’s chances of re-signing with the team are slim and none, according to Michael...[+] Lombardi, of NFL Network. Asomugha’s fate appeared to be sealed after the team re-signed DL Richard Seymour. 'I think slim and none, and I would favor none,' Lombardi said. 'Once Seymour’s deal was done, that eliminated Asomugha. Seymour got over $22 million in guaranteed money. Now the Raiders can place the franchise tag on TE Zach Miller, therefore keeping him off the market, and ultimately would really make it difficult for Asomugha to come back. Asomugha is going to be the top free agent when we get to free agency this offseason, and he’s going to command a huge deal, something the Raiders can’t really pay.'
• 2/17 KFFL.com Hot off the Wire: Raiders | Re-signing Nnamdi Asomugha will be hard: The Oakland Raiders will have an even more difficult time re-signing pending free-agent CB Nnamdi Asomugha after the team re-signed...[+] DL Richard Seymour, according to Jerry McDonald, of ANG Newspapers. Although Asomugha will not receive the $17 million or more his original deal would have brought in Oakland, he remains a good bet to exceed the $11.5 million figure paid to New York Jets CB Darrelle Revis this year and young enough to get a long-term deal with a big signing bonus. The Raiders just issued $30 million over two seasons, with $22.5 million guaranteed to Seymour. Managing general partner Al Davis has said he would like to re-sign Asomugha, but only if the price is right.
