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
