Asomugha to get franchised AGAIN

The Raiders will "almost certainly" place the franchise tag on Nnamdi Asomugha again this offseason.

Asomugha wants a fresh start, but he isn't leaving Oakland barring a trade. If the Raiders were smart they would've given DeAngelo Hall's contract to Asomugha last year. Instead, he'll cost about $12M against their 2009 cap.

Peppers to Oakland?

Hah if Pep would agree to a trade to Oakland for Asomugha I would hope that Hurney would have him on the plane tomorrow...

I'd make that trade.

No offense to Pep. He rocks. But we don't want him if he doesn't want us. Nnamdi is a freak too. And a younger one.

Peppers doesn't have to agree to anything.

He does if the team wants a long-term deal in place before the trade is made...they wouldn't trade their best player if the player they were trading for wouldn't sign a long-term deal. Don't get me wrong I would be ecstatic to have Asomugha lining up opposite of Gamble but I don't see if happening.

Yeah the Raiders screwed up giving Hall all that dough, but they are the Raiders and love screwing up.

Than wouldn't Asomugha have to agree to a long term deal with us?

As far as I know the contract negotiating would come after the trade, and knowing how impulsive Al Davis is he would probably leap at the opportunity.
