Nnamdi Asomugha could've gotten out of a good chunck of the Oakland Raiders training camp, and no one would've been surprised.A Every year (i.e. Terrell Suggs this season) several franchised taged players wait until the last possible moment, sometimes even months after the deadline to sign a taged player to a contract extension has passed.A It says a lot that Asomugha came to camp on the check-in day to sign the contract in time to make today's first practice.A I love the fact that he wants to be in the mix early and not miss a minute of training camp.
Cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, the team's franchise player, reported Wednesday, according to published reports, signed a one-year contract for $9.765 million and will practice this afternoon.
"I'm going to go into camp focused and play the year out and see what happens," Asomugha told Sportsillustrated.com via text message.
The Raiders also reached agreements with their two unsigned draft picks Wednesday.

Was hoping to get all of my assessment of the Raiders depth chart posted by the time camp started, but it'll end up being a day late.A I mentioned a couple days ago that I got a last minute invite to an event that I couldn't pass up.A I then spent the time I put aside to work on the depth chart on writing a couple articles on the event.A Look for comments from players and coaches later today, and the rest of my assessment tomorrow.
