Pro Bowl cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha's contract voided and he will be allowed to become a free agent without the Oakland Raiders being able to use their franchise tag on him, according to an NFL Players Association document.



Asomugha’s deal included a little-known clause that said his contract would void if he didn’t achieve his not-likely-to-be-earned incentives in 2010 -- and he didn'’t.
His contract also contained a stipulation that if he didn’t achieve his incentives, the Raiders would agree not to designate him their franchise or transition player.
To achieve his incentives, Asomugha had to play in a greater number of defensive plays in 2010 than he did in 2009, and this season Asomugha played in only 14 games whereas he played in all 16 in 2009.

Good deal. Rams got a lot of money to spend.

[jagermeister1]

Yeah, they definitely need a solid corner.

[stealthyburrito]

should be an interesting courtship of nnamdi.

[The Madcap]

Let the bidding begin.

[Jonah]

This guy will change your team. Who wants a ring?

[Roadtrip635]

I think the Cowboys will go after him hard.

[samdapatriotsfan]

Maybe Mr. Belichik will make a couple of moves for Nnamdi, it could happen.

[Herky]

He will be the hottest defensive free agent. Many teams will be interested.

[Wreckloose]

He will get paid. Shouldn't have let Cable go, if anyone is as pissed as Lechler no one is going to want to come back that doesn't have to.

[Avon Barksdale]

I think he will end up in Dallas replacing Terrance Newman.

[Chugs]

The Jets need to land him.

[8ArIvd5]

He could help the 49ers pass defense like no other.

[dfberger23]

The Jets need to land him.

We are pretty set at the corner position with Revis, Cromartie and Wilson.

[Irish Lumberjack]

Buffalo gets the deal done

[doylfish]

He could help the [insert team name here] pass defense like no other.

correction. edited for you.

wilson, ha. my favorite is all the analysts that isht on the pats for taking mccourty where they did with wilson still available, where's wilson now? not going to the pro bowl like mccourty

[CWebb04]

Dolphins seem willing to spend money, he wouldb e great on other side of Vontae

[SBR Lou]

Maybe Mr. Belichik will make a couple of moves for Nnamdi, it could happen.

If they wouldn't pay Asante Samuel big money to retain him, I doubt they will splurge here. Nnamdi would have to be willing to take less money to play on a great team.

jury is out on Wilson

Cromartie is a FA to be, like Asomugha

unlikely that the Jets get Nnamdi, though.

[Killer_Demo]

Damn you al davis...

[ronjon619]

some lawyer for da Raiders is gonna get fired for letting that clause into his contract.

[marcoloco]

someones defense is about to get alot better

[mr. leisure]

The raiders are such a funked up franchise

[dfberger23]

wilson, ha. my favorite is all the analysts that isht on the pats for taking mccourty where they did with wilson still available, where's wilson now? not going to the pro bowl like mccourty

Belichick and the Pats are just the best drafters out there, this is well known.

Can't make a judgement on Wilson yet, see what he does next year.

[TexansFan]

Texans easily.

[GunShard]

It should be interesting which team he goes to.

[slacker00]

My thoughts, exactly.

[gryfyn1]

Good deal. Rams got a lot of money to spend.

guess that depends on the new CBA,

[eidolon]

cromartie out, Revis and Nnamdi shutting down every team.

[opie1988]

He will be a Dallas Cowboy. Period.

[slatter]

I would do dirty things for him to end up a Redskin.
