Chris Gamble's deal looks like a steal for what Asomugha got....

[charlottenian]

I know that Aso is a far more talented corner then Gamble, but he is getting double what signed Gamble for..... Great move to lock up Gamble early, had his deal went undone until now it would have been a virtual guarantee that we would have lost him to a very high bidder in FA

[Fox007]

Yea good moves so far.

[Kurb]

Gamble WANTED to be here.

He took a VERY significant paycut signing here early.

He would be the ONLY FA corner worth a damn right now.

[countryboi]

this is no shot against gamble but he is no Asomugha....asomugha is the best CB in the league and he is going to get paid like it

Also, the Raiders overpay for their players. Look Tommey last season, that DT that no one has ever heard about...

Raiders didn't overpay this time. It's probably the best decision they've made in a while. The guy is SHUT DOWN. He shut down Smith man.

[gotsmart?]

the raiders have the worste FO ever. they over pay EVERY year. wow. this deal is retareded. al davis knows he only has a few years left, and he is tryin to buy a succesful team NOW, doesnt care about the future state of the game

So a three deal worth 50 million in guaranteed money is worth it??????? The first two years of his deal are like a giant signing bonus, the0 the third year is as well if the team picks it up. The whole contract is like a giant signing bonus, the raiders used 29 million over the first two years in guaranteed money. if he gets hurt they don't get that back.

I don't think Oak overpayed. He is the only true shutdown corner now in the league. Gamble has been abused a fair amount every year w/ this past season being the only exception.....it was tough to tell if he really improved or if the Lucas/Godfrey combo was just too tempting for opponents.

[OneBadassCat]

Well Aso is a better corner than Gamble right now so it makes sense. He still got a big pay check though.

9 MIL guaranteed to their punter too. WOW! just wow. :confused:

Asomugha > Gamble

[natty]

Of course Aso is better than Gamble, but I think Gamble would have made a killing in FA.
