This kinda stuff can push to the front in the off season, but I will correct the thread title to make it less misleading.

6 year deal

[holycrikey]

I think the Raiders actually paid the RIGHT person for once. He is definitely one of the best CB's in the league.

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.

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.
