Raiders’ Davis Continues Spending Ways

by Ben Cook on February 20, 2009

Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis is famous for his meddling style of management and his aggressive spending. After watching his team finish 5-11 last season, old Al has once again opened up his checkbook.

The Oakland Raiders have made Nnamdi Asomugha the richest cornerback in the league with a new 3 year deal worth $45.3 million (reportedly $28.5 million of it guaranteed).

Asomugha, the 7 time Pro Bowler had been highly critical of the team last season, but record deals have a way of keeping players quiet.

Earlier in the week the Raiders set another salary record, giving punter Shane Lechler a 4 year deal worth $16 million
