Nnamdi Asomugha?

He’s not worth what he’s going to demand. He’s also 29, and is likely to demand a long-term contract. We already have an aging CB waiting to make the move to safety. I’d love to have another experienced guy back there, but our secondary doesn’t really need the help right now. Jammer is getting older but is still very good. What we really need is to draft a CB relatively high this year, to give him time to learn.

He’s earned a buttload of money already (nearly $40M over the last three seasons) playing for a crappy team. If he’s at the point where taking a shot at a champoinship is more important than going to the highest bidder, then maybe there’s a fit.

Other than the price, he seems like an AJ guy. I live in the bay area and by all acounts Asomugha is exactly the type of classy guy you want on your team; hard-worker, team leader.

If you like “character” you’re not going to find many people in the NFL or life in general, that give back like he does. I hate that he’s a Raider because I’ve always admired him. Yeah, this is a little long, but check this out from the “Philanthropy” section of his wikipedia page:

Off the field, education and community service are his mainstays. Asomugha serves as Chairman for the Orphans and Widows In Need (OWIN) Foundation. Through OWIN, Asomugha and his family provide food, shelter, medicine, vocational training, literacy efforts, and scholarships to widows and orphans victimized by poverty or abuse in Nigeria. Currently, OWIN has two centers in Nigeria and plans to expand to other countries in Africa.26

In 2006, Asomugha launched the annual Asomugha College Tour for Scholars (ACTS) program. Each year, he teams up with selected students from Bay Area high schools on college tours across the country. To date, Asomugha has taken students to visit Morehouse College, Spelman College, Georgia Institute of Technology, Clark Atlanta University, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston University, Brown University and the Berklee College of Music. All of the tour participants who have graduated from high school have gone on to attend higher education institutions.27 For the 2009 tour, Asomugha took students to visit schools in New York City including NYU, Columbia University, The Juilliard School, The Fashion Institute of Technology, Fordham University and The New School.28

In 2010, ACTS will expand to not only service high school students in the Bay Area but also select high schools in the Los Angeles area. For the 2010 tour, ACTS will visit schools in Washington D.C.

 
Asomugha joined former President Bill Clinton, Matthew McConaughey, and Marie Tillman at the 2009 Meeting of Clinton Global Initiative University (CGI U) hosted by The University of Texas at Austin to discuss the importance of global service and student activism. CGI U is President Clinton’s youth initiative designed to challenge college students to take action on some of the most pressing global issues in areas such as education, poverty and global health. At CGI U, Asomugha spoke to over 1,200 student leaders, university presidents and leaders of national youth organizations about his philanthropic efforts in Nigeria and Oakland, CA .29

Additionally, Asomugha distributes backpacks to the incoming freshmen each year at Narbonne High School in Los Angeles. He also outfits the football and basketball team with shoes, a mandate he wrote into an endorsement contract he signed with Nike.

For his commitment to community service, Asomugha was named a Home Depot Neighborhood MVP 2007 30

In 2008, Asomugha was presented with The President’s Volunteer Service Award. An award that was established to recognize the important contributions Americans of all ages are making within their communities through service and civic engagement.31

Asomugha has been recognized by fellow members of the NFL Players Association who nominated him in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 for the Byron “Whizzer” White Award for Outstanding Community Service.

Asomugha was also nominated for the prestigious Sports Illustrated 2008 Sportsman of the Year award.33

In 2009, Asomugha was named to the "Dream Team for Public Service" by the Jefferson Awards for Public Service.34

In 2010, Asomugha was presented with the 44th annual Byron “Whizzer” White NFL Man of the Year, the NFL Players Association’s (NFLPA) highest honor35
