Asomugha's $45.3M deal richest for DB

By John Clayton
ESPN.com

The Oakland Raiders reached agreement with cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha on a $45.3 million, three-year contract that makes him the highest-paid defensive back in NFL history.


Asomugha
Sources said Asomugha is guaranteed $28.5 million in a complicated deal that features a provision in which the entire contract can be guaranteed if the Raiders decide to keep the 27-year-old for the third season.

The seventh-year pro is one of the league's elite cover defenders. He was selected for the Pro Bowl and chosen to The Associated Press All-Pro team last season despite getting just one interception because Oakland's opponents rarely even dared to throw to his side of the field.

Asomugha made critical statements about the Raiders' direction late in their sixth consecutive losing season, but acknowledged he probably would remain with the club because of the franchise tag. His new contract and the Raiders' new coaching staff likely made the decision much easier.

This was the second major re-signing by the Raiders in two days; on Wednesday, Shane Lechler agreed to a four-year, $16 million contract, the richest ever for a punter.

Both deals were negotiated by agent Tom Condon, with Raiders owner Al Davis having significant involvement in brokering the agreements.

Senior writer John Clayton covers the NFL for ESPN.com. Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

It doesn't matter now he's 45m dollar rich. The question now is whether he'll pick a fellow Nigerian sister for a wife or a fake ass blonde from North Dakota. He's also not big enough for a football defender.

Thats all I can find from his personals:
Quote
He is the younger cousin of Adimchinobi Echemandu, who also attended California.[11]
At his former high school, Asomugha distributes backpacks to the incoming freshmen each year. He also outfits the football and basketball team with shoes, a mandate he wrote into an endorsement contract he signed with Nike.[citation needed]
When his football days are over, Asomugha says he's interested in a career in broadcasting or entertainment. Asomugha currently serves as an occasional co-host on NBC Bay Area's prime time 'Sports Sunday' program with Raj Mathai. [12]
Asomugha is of Igbo descent, an ethnic group in southeastern Nigeria.[13]
He is also a member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.
